1

• The NEUTRAL technique is used to create small lifts in the skin over a large surface area.


• This is predominately used for muscle strains and tightness.


• Stretch the MUSCLE but not the tape.


• Rip the backing paper at both ends.


• Stick the whole length of tape down without stretching it.

2

• The STRETCH technique is used over specific points of pain.


• This creates the greatest possible skin lift on that area, reducing pressure on the pain receptors and relieving pain.


• Rip the backing paper at both ends.


• Remove the centre section of backing paper.


• Use the tabs at each end to stretch the centre of the tape and apply over a point of pain.

3

• REMOVE the tape by stretching the skin underneath.


• Peel the tape with the direction of any hair.


• Round the edges to prevent fraying or catching on clothes.

Remember to seek medical advice first and whether you’re a seasoned taping pro or a first time taper, always fully assess before applying.
