Kinesiotapes for the knee

Kinesiotapes can also be used to improve knee pain, for example after long runs or sports such as basketball or sprinting. It is important to apply the tapes correctly following good instructions to achieve the desired effect. Kinesiotapes are available in different colors: red pink, green, black, beige, blue, orange and green.

The color of the tape determines the predominant effect. For example, if the knee is swollen and painful, blue tape should be used instead. If the blood circulation in the knee is to be promoted, red or pink tape is used.

Beige tape can always be used, since it is said to have a neutral effect. There are many different manufacturers of kinesiotapes. Which one fits best, must therefore unfortunately be tried out individually. In preparation for taping, the knee should be cleaned and if possible, hair should be removed so that the tape can stick properly. More about this under:
