TrailMed | K-Tape | Support | Wrists
Wrists can experience strain and discomfort during various activities, especially for runners, cyclists, hikers, and swimmers. TrailMed's Kinesiology Tape (K tape) is a fantastic solution for providing pain relief and support to your wrists, allowing you to stay active and comfortable.
Follow these simple steps to tape your wrists:
Clean and Dry: Ensure your wrist is clean and dry to help the tape adhere better and stay in place longer.
Measure and Cut: Cut a piece of K tape long enough to wrap around your wrist. Round the corners of the tape to prevent it from peeling off easily.
Anchor the Tape: Start by anchoring one end of the tape on the back of your hand, just below the knuckles.
Wrap the Wrist: Gently wrap the tape around your wrist, covering the area of discomfort. Make sure the tape is snug but not too tight to allow for natural movement and blood flow.
Cross the Tape: If you need additional support, you can cut a second piece of tape and create an "X" pattern over the wrist by crossing the first piece. Anchor one end of the second piece on the back of your hand, and wrap it around the wrist, crossing over the first piece of tape.
Secure the Edges: Make sure the edges are securely adhered to your skin, and gently press down the tape to ensure it sticks well.
