Relieve Shin Splints and Calf Pain
If you’re an athlete or fitness enthusiast, you know the agony of shin splints and calf pain. That persistent, nagging ache can sideline you for days or weeks. But kinesiology tape, also called kinesio tape, can help get you back up and active again quickly.
Mueller Sports Kinesio Tape provides targeted muscle and joint support that can relieve overworked shins and calves. With proper taping techniques, the special elastic properties and adhesive pattern of kinesio tape lifts the skin slightly to promote better blood and lymphatic flow. This helps reduce inflammation, swelling, and pain in the target area.
Here are 15 tips to use Mueller Sports Kinesio Tape on your lower legs:
1. Prepare Your Skin
Before taping, clean and dry the skin thoroughly. Clip any hair that may get in the way. Apply tape directly to clean skin for best adhesion.
2. Tear the Tape
Tear or cut strips of Mueller Sports Kinesio Tape to your desired length and shape. Rounded ends help prevent peeling. The tape comes pre-cut or in long rolls for custom sizing.
3. Activate the Adhesive
