Upper Knee Spider
For the application of the upper knee, begin by tearing all of the perforations along the black lines. Tear all of the perforations first, before starting the application.
For step number one, peel back section number one halfway, and apply just along the bottom portion of the kneecap, along the patellar tendon. Gently rub the tape to activate the glue. Once that section is applied, peel the remaining portion of section one off, letting the tape come in gentle contact with the skin and lightly rubbing over top of the tape to smooth out if any creases, and also to activate the glue.
For step number two, peel the backing of section number two, avoid touching the adhesive, anchor along the base portion and pull up and around the outside of the kneecap and upper thigh ending at about the mid-portion of the thigh, just to be inside of center.
Allow the tape to come in gentle contact with the skin. With the final portion, approximately one inch being applied with no stretch on the tape. Gently rub the tape to smooth out any creases, starting from the beginning, all the way to the end of that section.
Apply each section individually to ensure proper application, before moving on to the next section. Peel the backing, anchor, pull up and around the inside portion of the kneecap, stretching the tape to end approximately the same level as the previous section, just to be outside of the center of the knee. Gently rub the tape from start to finish to activate the glue.
Then take the leg, straighten it out, bring it to the outside, stretching the adductors, gently peel back section number three, and let the tape with no stretch come in contact with the inside portion of the thigh, ending at the top outside portion of the knee. Gently rub the tape to make sure it's in full contact with the skin, and to activate the glue.
Then take the leg, bring it to the inside, stretching the lateral portion of the leg, tear the backing of the tape. As you pull the backing gently off, let the tape come in contact with the skin. No stretch on the tape. Once applied, rub vigorously to activate the glue. Once the upper knee spider is applied, rub all of the sections of the tape again to ensure that the glue is properly activated.
