LIVEUP - Sports Kinesiology Tape

LIVE UP Cotton Elastic Kinesiology Tape is a flexible, elastic sports tape designed to provide targeted support during sports, training and everyday physical activity. Made from a combination of cotton, spandex and high-molecular polymer, it stretches and moves with the body while allowing a natural range of movement.

The tape can be cut to the required length and applied using different taping techniques according to the body area and intended application. It is suitable for athletes, coaches, physiotherapists and sports professionals.

What is kinesiology tape?

Kinesiology tape is an elastic adhesive tape designed to move with the body rather than restrict movement like traditional rigid sports tape. When applied to the skin using an appropriate technique, it can provide flexible support and sensory feedback around muscles and joints during movement.

Kinesiology taping is commonly used in sports and physical therapy as a complementary technique for temporary support, muscular discomfort and movement-related applications.

Indications / Areas of use

LS5791 can be used for supportive taping around areas such as:

• Shoulder and upper arm
• Elbow and forearm
• Wrist and hand
• Back and lower back
• Hip and thigh
• Knee
• Calf
• Ankle and foot

Method of use

1. Prepare the skin: Clean and dry the area thoroughly. Remove oils, creams, sweat and dirt. For best adhesion, the skin should be clean and dry.
2. Measure the tape: Cut the required length according to the body area and taping technique.
3. Prepare the tape: Round the corners after cutting to help prevent the edges from lifting prematurely.
4. Apply the tape: Remove the backing gradually and place the tape over the target area. The amount of stretch depends on the body area and the purpose of the application.
5. Secure the ends: Apply the beginning and end of the tape with little or no tension.
6. Activate the adhesive: Rub the tape gently after application to improve adhesion through the warmth and friction generated by the hand.
7. Check the skin: The tape should feel comfortable and should not cause excessive tightness, numbness or irritation.

For specific therapeutic applications, particularly around joints, muscles or injuries, application by a qualified physiotherapist or sports therapist is recommended.

Important precautions

• Do not apply to open wounds, irritated, infected or damaged skin.
• Do not use if you have a known sensitivity or allergy to the tape or adhesive.
• Discontinue use if significant redness, itching, burning or skin irritation occurs.
• Do not apply excessively tightly.
• Kinesiology tape is intended as a supportive sports product and is not a substitute for professional medical diagnosis or treatment.
• Seek medical advice for persistent or significant pain or injury.
