RockTape - Kinesiology Tape Instruction - Standard Knee

Here we’ll detail the steps on applying RockTape Kinesiology Tape to the knee. This is a simple and effective way to provide support and reduce pain.

Start with our standard 2 inch tape and measure the first strip from above the knee to just below the kneecap. Cut two strips of this length.

Measure a third strip from one side of the knee to the other, going around and under the kneecap.

Round the tape’s corners to avoid catching on gear or clothing.

Stretch the skin by bending at the knee.

With the first strip, tear an end then anchor above the knee, strip towards the outside of the knee. Pull away the release paper, taping around the outside of the knee. Then finish inward, just under the kneecap.

For the second strip of tape, tear an end then anchor above the knee, strip towards the inside of the knee. Pull away the release paper, taping around the inside of the knee. Then finish outward, just under the kneecap.

Tear the center of the final strips release paper to expose the adhesive. With slight stretch, apply the tape just below the kneecap. Add a slight curve to an end then lay it down with no stretch. Repeat for the remaining edge, then rub to activate the adhesive.

Why didn't you give any tension to the bands? Will it still support the knee in the extension?

[kattlemenscatering]

so how is this better than older taping techniques

[michaelh]

Why do instructions say no stretch. Yet my physical therapist states to apply 50% stretch? This question is for RockTape

[sharhi]

they have the inside of the knee and the outside reversed!. No response to questions in the comments either. Shabby.

Can anyone tell me what is the purpose of this tape

[Arkturbettel]

This is very questionable. You shoud do that on the straight or at leas half-bent knee. If you do it as shown in the video it won't stabilize anything when you standing up (when you also need it), and it will look like a very old woman's vagina (sorry)). And it also won't hold, I also noticed, the rocktape only holds, when it's a little stretched or at list not crumbled.

Don't waste yalls money. Shit doesn't even stay on throughout a workout. Just take the pain.
