K-Active Crossing is a premium-quality cross tape designed for versatile use across the body. Although the grid tapes are applied locally to the skin, they can provide support beyond the treated area through neurophysiological stimulation, myofascial connections, and targeted application on acupuncture, acupressure, and trigger points. A key feature of K-Active Crossing is its ability to positively influence functional processes in other regions of the body as well. When removed from the backing film, the tape generates a slight electrostatic charge. Combined with its special grid structure, this creates subtle, continuous impulses that can stimulate skin receptors and meridians, helping to support the body’s natural regulatory mechanisms. Thanks to their skin-friendly, latex-free, and waterproof properties, K-Active Crossing tapes are ideal for both sports and everyday use. They also serve as a practical complement to therapeutic treatments and traditional kinesiology tape, especially when, alongside larger tape applications, specific points need to be addressed with precision.

The Cross Tape Patch for Precise, Targeted Application
K-Active Crossing is a premium-quality cross tape patch for anyone looking to support their body in a targeted, drug-free way. These small, grid-shaped patches are applied with precision to trigger points, pain points, as well as acupuncture and acupressure points. Cross tapes are especially popular in trigger point therapy and holistic treatment approaches.
Whether it’s a tense neck, sensitive areas, or localized irritation, K-Active Crossing is placed exactly where support is needed. This gentle physical stimulation can help accompany the body’s natural regulatory processes. It is suitable for everyday use, sports, and therapeutic applications alike.
K-Active Crossing also serves as an ideal complement to classic kinesiology tape. While kinesiology tape is typically applied over larger areas along muscles or joints, cross tape allows for a highly precise, spot-specific approach. Thanks to their discreet size, the patches remain barely noticeable in daily life—perfect when you want focused support rather than full-area taping.
Drug-Free Cross Tape for Precise Support
K-Active Crossing works through purely physical stimulation of the skin’s receptors. Its special grid structure creates a subtle, continuous impulse on the skin that can help support the body’s natural regulatory processes.
When the backing film is removed, a slight electrostatic charge is generated as well. This can improve adhesion, especially on active points such as pain, trigger, or acupuncture points. making application particularly easy and precise.
Premium Materials for Comfort & Skin Compatibility
K-Active Crossing is made from skin-friendly cellulose acetate fabric and is completely latex-free. The patches are comfortable to wear and stay securely in place, even during movement. Thanks to their waterproof properties, they are ideal for everyday life, sports, showering, or sweating, and can be worn reliably for several hours up to several days.
The Cross Tape Patch for a Wide Range of Issues
K-Active Crossing is ideal for anyone looking to support their body gently, precisely, and without medication.
Typical areas of use include:
- Muscle tension and blockages
- Trigger points and overuse discomfort
- Headaches and migraines
- Arm and shoulder complaints (e.g., tennis elbow, shoulder tension)
- Joint, back, and neck problems
- Scar care and therapy
K-Active Crossing is also especially popular as a complementary tool in physiotherapy or in combination with kinesiology taping, providing precise, spot-specific support for both everyday use and therapeutic treatment.
Your Benefits at a Glance
Correct Application of K-Active Crossing
For K-Active Crossing to adhere properly and feel comfortable on the skin, correct placement and alignment are key.
Step-by-Step Guide to Proper Use
First, choose the appropriate size of K-Active Crossing depending on the body area and intended application. Next, locate the relevant pain or trigger point by gently palpating the area or moving the affected muscle or joint until you identify the most sensitive spot. For optimal comfort and long-lasting adhesion, the tape should be aligned with the natural lines of the skin. As a general orientation, one “tip” of the grid can point toward the head. Ideally, apply the cross tape on stretched skin or over a bent joint so that it adapts better during movement later on. Carefully remove the grid tape from the backing film, touching the adhesive surface as little as possible (ideally using tweezers). Place it directly onto the desired point without tension and press it down firmly. Thanks to the slight electrostatic charge of the cross tapes, interaction with the body is possible. Based on practical experience, the Crossing may be applied in different directions over the target point. Once the optimal alignment is found, the patch will visibly settle onto the skin on its own. Finally, rub the tape several times to activate the adhesive through warmth and friction. The Crossing can then be worn discreetly for several hours up to several days.
Application on Scars (Only on Closed Skin)
Scars are a natural part of wound healing and reliably close an injury. However, scar tissue is always replacement tissue, differing in both structure and function from the original skin and the underlying tissue. For this reason, scars may not only be noticeable locally, but can also cause pulling sensations, tension, or movement restrictions long after the wound has healed, sometimes even influencing movement patterns and body awareness.
K-Active Crossing can be used here as a drug-free and everyday-friendly complement. Because it can be applied with great precision and provides a gentle, continuous stimulus through the skin’s receptors, it may help support perception in the scar area, reduce feelings of tension or pulling, and promote tissue flexibility
Application can be especially helpful when a scar feels tight, reacts sensitively, becomes hardened or adherent, restricts mobility, or disrupts overall body sensation. These positive effects are not limited to fresh scars. Older scars may also benefit significantly.
It is important, however, that K-Active Crossing is only applied to clean, fully closed, and irritation-free skin. Therefore, stitches should already have been removed before use after surgery. If the tape loosens on its own, it is recommended to remove it gently after no later than four days, peeling it off at a flat angle in the direction of hair growth.
Application for Headaches
For headaches, K-Active Crossing can be used as a drug-free, targeted form of support. A particularly effective approach is the combination of the temple area with an acupressure point on the hand.
To do this, apply one size M grid patch directly to both the left and right temple. Then place a Crossing on both hands at the LI4 (Di4) point, located between the thumb and index finger. If the headaches are also related to neck or shoulder tension, an additional Crossing can be applied in that area. Depending on the region, size M or L patches can be placed directly on the most painful point in the neck or shoulder area.
Tip: Make sure the skin is clean and dry. After applying, press the tape down briefly to ensure it adheres well.
K-Active Crossing for Tennis Elbow
For tennis elbow (epicondylitis), K-Active Crossing is applied precisely where the pain is most intense. The pain point is usually located on the outer elbow at the tendon attachment. The goal is targeted, drug-free support that can be easily integrated into everyday life and sports.
First, gently palpate the outer area of the elbow and identify the point that is most sensitive to pressure. This is typically the tendon insertion. As an additional option, you can apply another size M grid patch to the LI4 (Di4) acupressure point on the affected hand. This point is located on the back of the hand in the “V” between the thumb and index finger.
K-Active Crossing for Stomach Complaints
For stomach discomfort, K-Active Crossing can be used as a drug-free, targeted form of support. The cross tapes are applied to selected points on the feet, as well as additionally in the upper abdominal area.
First, apply one size M K-Active Crossing patch to each of the three foot points SP3 (MP3), SP4 (MP4), and SP6 (MP6). MP3 is located directly behind the base joint of the big toe. MP4 lies midway between the big toe joint and the beginning of the heel. MP6 can be found about three finger widths above the inner ankle bone. As an additional step, apply a size L grid patch to the point CV15 (KG15) on the upper abdomen. This point is located just below the rib margin and is often the area where stomach pressure or pain is most noticeable.
K-Active Crossing for Shoulder Pain
For shoulder pain, K-Active Crossing is applied directly to the most painful points around the shoulder and can be complemented with additional points on the arm or wrist if needed. This makes it easy to integrate targeted, drug-free support into everyday life, sports, or therapy.
First, gently palpate the shoulder and locate the area that feels most painful or tense. Then apply a K-Active Crossing patch in the appropriate size directly onto the pain point or affected shoulder region. As an additional option, place a size M grid patch on the LI4 (Di4) acupuncture point between the thumb and index finger on the back of the hand of the affected arm. You may also apply another cross tape in size M or L at the wrist to cover the points LU7 and LU8, located approximately two finger widths away from the wrist crease.
K-Active Crossing for the Jaw Joint and Its Possible Effects
The jaw joint (TMJ) is much more than just the joint used for chewing. It is considered an important control hub in the body, as it is connected to many other areas through muscles, fascia, and nerve pathways. Especially during stress, high workload, or emotional tension, the jaw often reacts unconsciously, through clenching, grinding, or constant baseline tension. This tension may not remain limited to the jaw itself, but can spread to the neck, shoulders, and even the back.
K-Active Crossing can be used effectively in this area when the jaw feels tight or when pressure pain is noticeable around the joint. To apply it, place the cross tape just in front of the ear on the spot that moves most strongly or reacts most sensitively when opening and closing the mouth. Through this targeted stimulation, the muscles in the jaw region may relax and local circulation can be supported. Relieving this key area can have a positive effect on the body’s overall tension balance. Jaw tension is often linked to neck and shoulder issues, which can extend through tension chains down into the lower back or pelvis. As a result, the sacroiliac joint (SI joint) may also respond indirectly. Reducing tension in the jaw area can help the body release strain along these connections and support a freer overall regulation.
Find the Right Size for You:
When choosing K-Active Crossing, size can make a real difference, as the patches are designed for precise, spot-specific application. That’s why we offer three different sizes, each suited for specific areas of use.
Size M (180 pieces per pack)
Ideal for use with children and for sensitive areas such as the head and neck. Also especially suitable for adult hands and feet.
Size L (120 pieces per pack)
Perfect for larger muscle areas and medium-sized joints, for example on the arms, neck, wrist, or elbow.
Size XL (40 pieces per pack)
Best suited for very large muscle groups and large joints, such as the back, thighs, knees, or ankles.
Häufig gestellte Fragen:
Kinesiology tape is usually applied over larger areas along muscles or joints. K-Active Crossing, on the other hand, is designed for the precise treatment of specific points. This makes it an ideal complement when, in addition to classic taping, certain trigger, pain, or acupuncture points should be targeted more directly.
K-Active Crossing works purely through physical stimulation of the skin’s receptors. Its grid-shaped structure creates a gentle, continuous stimulus on the skin. This can influence tissue perception and help the body regulate tension more effectively, without the use of medication or active substances.
The slight electrostatic charge occurs when you peel the cross tape (grid patch) off its backing film. Many users consider this an important part of its positive properties, as it allows K-Active Crossing to adhere especially well and interact effectively with active points such as trigger points, pain points, or acupuncture points. In holistic applications, these subtle impulses are described as potentially helping to regulate tension and support the body’s natural self-regulation, without medication or active ingredients. The grid patch is applied directly to the desired point and remains there for an extended period, creating a steady, continuous stimulus over time.
K-Active Crossing is best applied directly to the point that feels most sensitive or tense. Typical areas include the neck, shoulders, back, elbows, or temples. Precise placement is important, as cross tape patches are designed for spot-specific application rather than large-area coverage.
A trigger point is usually a spot that is:
- Sensitive to pressure
- Feels like a small knot or tight band
- Can reproduce a familiar pain when pressed
The best way to locate it is by gently palpating the area or by moving the muscle or region and paying attention to the point that reacts most clearly or feels most affected.
Important: Some trigger points are only locally sensitive, while so-called active trigger points can be much more pronounced. These may not only hurt at the spot itself but can also cause referred pain or radiating discomfort in other areas of the body.
Yes, that can be beneficial. For optimal comfort and adhesion, it is often recommended to align the cross tape with the natural lines of the skin. As a general guideline, one “tip” of the grid can point toward the head. This may help the tape feel more comfortable and stay in place more reliably.
Yes, if possible. Especially in highly mobile areas (such as the shoulder or elbow), the tape often adheres better when applied on slightly stretched skin or over a bent joint. This helps it adapt more comfortably during everyday movement.
K-Active Crossing can usually be worn for several days, depending on skin type, body area, and activity level. If the tape begins to loosen or the skin becomes irritated, it should be removed and replaced if needed.
Yes, K-Active Crossing patches are waterproof and usually stay securely in place during showering, sports, and sweating. After contact with water, they should be gently patted dry with a towel.
K-Active Crossing is latex-free and generally very skin-friendly. However, as with any adhesive product, people with very sensitive skin may still experience irritation.
