What Does KT Tape Pro Do?
KT Tape is an elastic sports tape that can be used before, during and after workouts. When stretched and applied to the skin, it is designed to help prevent and alleviate pain, as well as boost blood flow to affect pain perception and reduce swelling.

Due to the tape design of KT Tape Pro, it is applicable nearly anywhere on the body for specific, highly targeted support wherever you need it. The KT Tape is supplied in a 5 metre long roll that can be easily cut to perfectly fit the body part that it is applied to.

How Do I Apply The KT Tape Pro?
KT Tape is designed to be as easy to apply as possible and a detailed guide is also included to help you get the most out of the kinesiology tape. We have also provided some simplified instructions below:
- From the roll, cut however long a piece of KT Tape you need with a pair of scissors. Cut the corners of the piece into a rounded shape for better adhesion.
- Before applying, make sure the skin is clean, dry and free from any creams or oils (e.g. sun cream or moisturiser). You can also trim the hair for better adhesion. For best results, apply tape an hour before athletic activity.
- If applying KT Tape to a joint, move it into a fully bent position. If you apply the kinesiology tape to an extended joint, you risk pulling off the tape. Maintain bent position during whole application.
- When applying the tape, the ends of the piece you are using should be applied directly to the skin without stretching, otherwise it could pull up and not stick.
- The middle part of the tape can be stretched over the selected area but do not overstretch, as this can lead to skin irritation or abrasions.
- Finally, make sure the adhesive is set by firmly going over the tape with your fingers, making sure that all edges are down.

Sticks To Your Body For Up To a Week!
While the KT Tape Original is made with very strong adhesive that sticks to your body for up three days, the KT Tape Pro is engineered for even higher performance and can stay in place for up to seven days. With its new synthetic design, the KT Tape Pro can withstand daily showers, multiple trips to the gym or pool and still be ready for the next workout. The KT Tape Pro is made for people who exercise hard, everyday.
Engineered with Secondskin Adhesive to perform in the harshest environments, the KT Pro kinesiology tape performs in both cold and humid environments as well.
100% Synthetic Build
While other kinesiology tapes on the market are made of cotton, the KT Tape Pro is made completely from synthetic microfibers that are engineered for performance. The material offers far superior strength to weight ratios and is anti-microbial to keep you fresh even if you wear the KT Pro for a full seven days.
The Very Best Kinesiology Tape For Swimming
Due to the synthetic build of the KT Tape Pro, it does not absorb water, and is accordingly moisture wicking and super fast drying. This makes the KT Pro kinesiology tape ideal for swimming, surfing, triathlons and other water sports.
Uncut Roll Ready to Cut
This model of the KT Tape is supplied in an uncut 5 metre long roll. This allows you to cut as long or as short of a piece as you need, depending on the body part you want to apply the tape to.
Prefer Precut Strips?
KT Tape Pro is also available in conveniently precut strips, ready to apply straight out of the box. The strips are ten inches (25.4cm) long and 2 inches (5.08cm) wide. The strips also have rounded corners to make application easier and avoid fraying edges.
Unbeatable Brace-Like Support
The KT Tape Pro has a completely synthetic build and features a long elastic core that supports your muscles, joints and tendons like a brace. It does so without compromising flexibility or comfort and unlike a traditional brace, kinesiology tape is not limited to specific body parts.
Stay Safe At Night With Reflective Safety
Running at night or even in the day during winter can be dangerous because of low light conditions. The KT Tape Pro features accents across its surface that reflect light to keep you safe, even when visibility is poor. Don't let winter stop you being your best!
Latex-Free and Kind To Your Skin
The synthetic design of the tape is breathable, moisture wicking and quick drying, keeping your skin fresh even after multiple workouts covered in tape. It is also completely latex-free and the adhesive used is medical-grade and acrylic-based so is non-itchy and gentle.
Are There Any Other Colours Available?
Along with stylish Jet Black model, the KT Tape Pro Roll is also available in Stealth Beige.
