RockTape - Kinesiology Tape Instruction - Tennis Elbow
Posted by Alfie Tatnell on
Here we’ll detail the steps on applying RockTape Kinesiology Tape for tennis elbow. This application is a simple and effective way to reduce pain and support elbow flexion. This application can also be done on the opposite side of the elbow for golfers elbow. Start with our standard 2 inch tape and measure from mid-forearm to just passed the elbow. Measure a second strip, 4 to 6 inches in length. Round the tape’s corners to avoid catching on gear or clothing. With an extended elbow and palm down, stretch the skin by flexing the wrist, fingers down. Tear an end then anchor 2 inches above the elbow, outside of the arm. Pull away the release paper towards the wrist. Rub to activate the adhesive. For the second strip, tear the center of the release paper to expose the adhesive. Then with some stretch, apply to the painful area perpendicular to the previous strip. Lay down the ends with no stretch and rub to activate the adhesive. Thanks for watching!
