Things You'll Need:
- Sports Tape
- Razor
-
Step 1
Shave the area of your leg from your upper calf to lower thigh. This will prevent the tape from pulling your hair when you remove it and help keep the adhesive strong.
-
Step 2
This type of adhesive-backed sports tape is perfect for taping knees.Wrap the tape around your upper calf until it is just below your knee. Use a circular pattern to cover the top several inches of your calf. The tape should stop at the joint of the knee so that it can still bend.
-
Step 3
This is what your knee should look like at the end of step 3.Wrap the tape around your lower thigh, stopping just above your knee. Using the same circular pattern, wrap the lower several inches of your thigh. Again, the tape will stop at the joint of the knee so that movement is still possible to some degree.
-
Step 4
Place several lengths of tape lengthwise from the top of the lower thigh wrap to the bottom of the upper calf wrap. These strips should be placed on either side of the leg. These will help support the knee and keep it in position while it is in use.
-
Step 5
Wrap both the upper calf and lower thigh again. This will help hold the lengthwise strips in place and support the knee joint.
