Lower Back Support
Whether you're a runner, cyclist, hiker, or swimmer, lower back pain can be a common issue that hinders your performance and enjoyment of activities. TrailMed's Kinesiology Tape (K tape) is an excellent solution for providing pain relief and support to these areas, allowing you to stay active and comfortable.
Follow these simple steps to tape your neck:
Clean and Dry: Ensure the area is clean and dry to help the tape adhere better and stay in place longer.
Measure and Cut: Cut two strips of TrailMed K-Tape, each about 12-14 inches long. Round the corners of the tape to prevent peeling.
Anchor the Tape: Bend forward, apply the strip vertically parallel to the spine, starting from the base of the back and extending upward with a moderate stretch. Repeat with the second piece of tape on the other side of the spine.
Smooth the Tape: Ensure the edges are securely adhered to your skin, gently press down the tape to ensure it sticks well and check comfort by moving gently to ensure the tape feels comfortable and provides the desired support without restricting movement.

Adductors Support
Whether you're a runner, cyclist, hiker, or swimmer, pain can be a common issue that hinders your performance and enjoyment of activities. TrailMed's Kinesiology Tape (K tape) is an excellent solution for providing pain relief and support to these areas, allowing you to stay active and comfortable.
Follow these simple steps to tape your neck:
Clean and Dry: Ensure the inner thigh area is clean and dry to help the tape adhere better and stay in place longer.
Measure and Cut: Cut one piece of K-tape long enough to cover the length of your adductor muscles, typically running from near your groin down towards your inner knee. You might need to experiment to find the exact length that works best for you. Round the corners of the tape to prevent it from peeling off easily.
Anchor the Tape: Position your leg slightly outward with your knee bent. Start by anchoring one end of the tape on your inner knee. Apply the tape with a light to moderate stretch (around 25-50%) as you extend it down your inner thigh towards your groin.
Smooth the Tape: Ensure the edges are securely adhered to your skin. Gently press down the entire length of the tape to ensure it sticks well and check comfort by gently moving your leg in different directions to ensure it feels comfortable and provides the desired support without restricting movement.
