TrailMed | K-Tape | Support | Neck + Shoulders
Whether you're a runner, cyclist, hiker, or swimmer, neck and shoulder pain can be a common issue that hinders your performance and enjoyment of activities. TrailMed's Kinesiology Tape (K tape) is an excellent solution for providing pain relief and support to these areas, allowing you to stay active and comfortable.
Follow these simple steps to tape your neck and shoulder:
Clean and Dry: Ensure the area is clean and dry to help the tape adhere better and stay in place longer.
Measure and Cut: Cut two pieces of K tape long enough to cover the neck and shoulder area. Round the corners of the tape to prevent it from peeling off easily.
Anchor the Tape on the Neck: Start by anchoring one end of the first piece of tape at the base of your skull, extending it down along the side of your neck. Apply the tape with a slight stretch, smoothing it down as you go.
Anchor the Tape on the Shoulder: Take the second piece of tape and anchor one end at the top of your shoulder, extending it across the upper back and down the shoulder blade. Apply with a slight stretch and smooth it down.
Secure the Edges: Make sure the edges are securely adhered to your skin, and gently press down the tape to ensure it sticks well.
Check Comfort: Move your neck and shoulder gently to ensure the tape feels comfortable and provides the desired support without restricting movement.
