Five shapes of physio therapy kinesiology tape

Physio therapy kinesiology tape is to use the elastic and adhesive force of the tape itself to produce traction or compression on the skin, and then produce the effects of fixation, support, promotion, and relaxation. The use of an physio therapy kinesiology tape can be divided into five shapes: I-shape, X-shape, Y-shape, O-shape, and claw-shape.

Generally speaking, the more branches of the tapes are cut out, the pulling force acts on the shallower skin. If more than two pieces of cloth are required to be overlapped, the cloth with more branches shall be pasted first, and then the cloth with less branches shall be pasted to maximize the pulling force.


I-shape: This is the most commonly used cutting method before sports. Just measure the binding length and cut it.

Y-shape: it is recommended to leave 3-5cm long for the fixed end of the tape, and cut along the dotted line in the center of the back Pro paper.

X-shape: fold the cloth in half, cut it from the middle of both ends, and remember to leave the middle part.

O-shape: first leave the length of both ends, then cut the folding cloth from the center.

Claw-shape: leave 3 to 5cm at the fixed end, and cut along the dotted line after back touching the paper to complete 4 or 6 branches.


In the process of kinesiology tape, the tape cloth should be cut according to the specific position of sticking. For larger muscle parts, we can cut a wider tape, for smaller muscle parts, we can also cut the internal effect patch twice to make it more suitable for the specific muscles of the body, so that the muscles can perform better in sports.
