If you want to know how to wrap an ankle with kinesiology tape? You must know what kinesiology tape is, and how to choose kinesiology tape ankle?
Cos'è il nastro kinesiologico alla caviglia
Il nastro kinesiologico alla caviglia is actually a nastro adesivo per kinesiologia, which is cut into a fixed size and is specially suitable for wrapping the ankle, so we call it the kinesiology tape ankle, which has all the characteristics of the muscle tape. Breathable, sticky, and soft, it is a tape suitable for skin use.
Come scegliere la caviglia del nastro kinesiologico?
Esistono molti tipi di caviglie con nastro kinesiologico, uno è pretagliato, la maggior parte delle persone lo chiama nastro muscolare pretagliato e l'altro non è tagliato, un rotolo intero, questa è la normale caviglia con nastro kinesiologico.
So you should first choose the muscle stickers you need. Already cut or uncut. If you are using it outdoors or on the sports field, I suggest you choose a pre-cut one, because it can be used directly by tearing it off without cutting it. After all, it is very inconvenient to bring scissors on many occasions. Of course, if you don’t find it troublesome, you can also choose the one that has not been pre-cut, and the price will be slightly lower.
Se acquisti un nastro muscolare non tagliato, puoi anche scegliere di acquistare le nostre forbici per nastro kinesiologico, che sono molto affilate, con angoli arrotondati e sono più comode da trasportare.
After choosing the style of kinesiology tape ankle, you have to choose the material. There are generally three types of materials: the most common is pure cotton material. Pure cotton muscle tape is breathable, comfortable, and has a higher affinity for the skin, just like pure cotton. Like cotton clothes. The disadvantage is that long-term intense friction will cause fluffing, but this problem is not too big, because the ankle tape is usually not worn for a long time, and it is usually replaced with a new one after exercise, so it has no effect under normal circumstances.
The second material is rayon. This material has better gloss, looks more beautiful, and will not fluff. The air permeability is the same, and the waterproof effect is better. Therefore, rayon is usually a little more expensive.
The third type is made of nylon. The kinesiology tape made of nylon is softer and more delicate to the touch. It can be stretched in any direction, unlike rayon and cotton, which can only be stretched vertically but not horizontally. So nylon material is also the most expensive. The disadvantage is that because the stretching effect is too good and too soft, it is not easy to fix, it is not easy to position when used, and the support is not as good as the other two materials.
Quindi, oltre allo stile e al materiale del tessuto, a cos'altro dovremmo prestare attenzione? Esatto, colla! !
The material of kinesiology tape ankle is very simple; it is divided into three parts: the base fabric, which is made of pure cotton or rayon with 5% spandex yarn, and the other material is glue.
Glue is also the most important material because it is in direct contact with the skin. Aupcon generally uses Japanese acrylic glue, German Henkel glue, and UV glue. If you have lower requirements for kinesiology tape ankle and are more sensitive to price, we can also provide domestic acrylic adhesive and hot melt adhesive.
There is no problem with the product itself, but it is used on different occasions. If your skin is more prone to allergies, it is recommended that you choose German Henkel glue and UV glue. Among them, UV glue has the lowest allergy, and it is a kind of Biological glue; the price will be relatively high. In addition, the kinesiology tape ankle using German Henkel glue is also a hypoallergenic tape, but its disadvantage is that its viscosity is slightly worse than that of acrylic glue.
If you have high requirements for adhesiveness, for example, if you are using it on some parts that are not easy to fix, then I suggest that you choose Japanese acrylic glue tape, because its adhesiveness is the greatest and it is not easy to fall off.
Allo stesso tempo, se lo usi solo per poco tempo e vuoi abbassare il prezzo, puoi scegliere l'adesivo hot melt. Sebbene la sua viscosità non sia buona, è economica e adatta per un uso a breve termine.
In addition to the above factors, there is also the thickness of the tape, which also needs to be considered. The thickness of each manufacturer’s product is different. Aupcon’s kinesiology tape ankle is divided into two types: one is thick, and the other is thin. The thicker base fabric is thicker, the stitches are finer, the texture is better, the air permeability is slightly worse, and the price is a little higher; the thinner base fabric is thinner, the air permeability is better, the texture is slightly worse, and the price is relatively low.
How to wrap ankle with kinesiology tape?
Ora che sai che tipo di nastro kinesiologico vuoi, come avvolgere la caviglia con il nastro kinesiologico? Per prima cosa guardiamo un video:
This is the easiest way to stick kinesiology tape ankle; it does not need to cut many strips, it only needs one strip to complete.
First, you need to clean your feet and your ankles. It is very necessary because it may affect the stickiness of the glue; if there is dirt, water, or oil on the feet, then it will come off easily. So you need to wash and dry your feet before using it.
Passaggio 2: se si dispone di un nastro pretagliato di lunghezza adeguata, è possibile utilizzarlo direttamente, ma se si dispone solo di un normale rotolo intero di nastro, è necessario prima tagliarlo a una lunghezza adeguata, se non si sa come lungo che ti serve, puoi tenerlo contro la tua caviglia e poi devi raccordare ogni angolo, in questo modo.
In the third step, you need to tear off the adhesive paper of the tape you have cut, and divide it into three sections. The two short sections of adhesive paper at both ends are for your convenience, so you can decide the length yourself, as long as your hands can hold it. If you don’t know how long it will be, you can just start tearing it from 5cm. Aupcon’s kinesiology tape ankle has a grid line on the back adhesive paper, a grid size of 1cm, and there are 5 pieces. The grid is 5CM.
The fourth step is to stick the tape. You can choose any end to start, determine the position you want to stick, and then tear off the short backing tape at that end, stick the end with the backing tape on the skin, and rub gently to ensure that the tape and the skin are completely fitted. The starting point in the video is the position of the ankle bone, then wrap around the direction of the heel, return to the starting point, and then circle again. During the whole process, hold the tape with one hand, and gently rub the tape with the other hand to ensure that the tape is stronger.
This is the simplest method of ankle sticking. The function of this sticking method is to fix the ankle and prevent ankle sprains. There are other posting methods, such as preventing inversion and valgus, etc. We will update them one after another. Please pay attention to our website.
