Runners Relief RunTape

RunTape from Runners Relief is a kinesiology tape that helps prevent and treat injuries while running, exercising, playing sports, or receiving physiotherapy.

Kinesiology tape is an elasticated cotton-based tape that attaches to the skin to give support to muscles and joints whilst also promoting movement.

RunTape is designed to minimise muscle swelling and ligament strain by enhancing blood and lymphatic circulation, resulting in speedier healing and injury prevention.

It will also improve posture and form while running to protect the spine, shoulders, neck, elbows, chest, wrists, hands, knees, and ankles.

This long-lasting wavelike adhesive has the same flexibility and bi-directional stretching as skin, allowing you to move freely. Incredibly soft and flexible hypoallergenic cloth outer layer. 

How do I apply RunTape?

Application of any Kinesiology tape varies depending on the muscle or joint being targeted – for this reason we don’t offer specific advice in this section, but we plan to upload manuals and video content to the product listing page in the future.

However, RunTape is usually applied in one of 3 ways; I Strip, Y Strip or a Lymphatic Fan. Directions for these can be found on the product page.

We recommend applying RunTape 30 minutes before exercise to allow the tape to settle and attached to the skin. To do this…

• Make sure that the skin is clean, dry and free of oils, creams and lotions

• Give the tape a slight stretch (no more than 50% of the maximum stretch) and apply directly to the skin

• Make sure the ends of the tape are not stretched

• Go and work-out!

How do I remove RunTape?

The easiest way to remove RunTape is…

• Apply baby oil, or warm soapy water, and leave it on the tape for around 5 minutes

• Pull the tape away from the skin slowly and carefully, keeping your skin taut.

• Be patient, don’t rip it off!
