Knee pain
We can’t function without our knees – because they are the fundamentals supporting our bodies. However, knee pain is a common pain symptom in different age groups. It can occur suddenly or be long-term. Often there is a pulling or stinging sensation in the knee, possibly due to overuse or misuse. But sometimes falls, injuries or incorrect movements can be the trigger. No matter how knee pain manifests itself, it’s important to do something good for your knee.

Taping knee – Tips
Step by step tape tutorial
Musculus quadriceps
Apply the base of the blue tape strip to the upper third of the thigh.
Bring knee into maximum flexion and remove release paper gradually until incision is made.
Apply the tape up to the incision with a slight stretch (25%). At the same time, pull off the remaining area of the release paper to the ends.
Place the first rein along the edge of the patella (kneecap).
Repeat step 4 for the other side.
To activate it, rub over the tape. The first application is ready!

After steps 1 to 6, attach the base of the pink tape strip to the tibial tuberosity (tibial prominence).
Pull off the release paper up to the incision.
Stretch the small area between the tibial tuberosity (bone process at the upper end of the tibia bone) and the tip of the patella. You can apply slight stretch (25%) on it.
Let the tape ends run out without tension.
There you have it, the application of the pink tape!
Measure the black tape strip while the leg is fully extended.
Stretch the tape according to the position of the knee joint. The first contact occurs at about 80 degrees of flexion.
Apply the tape with light tension (25%). Apply the ends without stretch.
Hold the tape on the side of the knee at the right place.
Place the second black strip around the knee with a slight stretch (25%). Attach the tape ends without tension.
You did it! Your knee application is completed.
