Wrap Right, Every Time

How to apply

  • Prep the area: Clean, dry skin; remove oils, sweat, or lotions.
  • Anchor + wrap: Start with a light anchor, then wrap or lay the tape in smooth, even lines with controlled tension.
  • Follow the shape: Move along the muscle or joint in the direction of support, avoiding wrinkles or gaps.
  • Secure the finish: End with a firm but comfortable anchor; check circulation and adjust if too tight.

Once it’s on, you’re supported, secure, and ready to move with confidence

Your Running & Fitness Tape Guide

Everything you need to tape with confidence and move at your best.

You get three essential performance tapes:

  • Zinc‑Oxide Tape for firm joint support and blister protection.
  • K‑Tape for muscle support, mobility, and reduced fatigue.
  • Cohesive Bandage for quick compression, fast fixes, and securing gear

Runners, gym athletes, HIIT lovers, and anyone who trains regularly and wants extra stability, reduced strain, and better support during high‑volume movement.

Common running and fitness zones include:

  • Ankles for stability on uneven ground or during explosive movements.
  • Knees for patella tracking and joint confidence.
  • Arches & heels to help with plantar strain and impact.
  • Calves & quads for muscle support during long sessions.
  • Fingers & wrists for lifting or functional training.

Yes - they’re designed to complement each other.

  • Zinc‑Oxide gives rigid joint protection.
  • K‑Tape supports muscles through movement.
  • Cohesive handles compression, swelling control, and quick adjustments.

Using them together creates a full‑body support system.

Absolutely. It’s built for:

  • Long‑distance runs where fatigue and repetitive impact build up.
  • Gym sessions with heavy lifts or dynamic movements.
  • HIIT and circuits where stability and quick changes of direction matter.
  • Recovery days when you need light support or swelling control.

Not when applied correctly.

  • K‑Tape is designed to move with your muscles.
  • Cohesive offers flexible support.
  • Zinc‑Oxide stabilises joints without unnecessary bulk.

You stay supported without feeling slowed down.

  • Zinc‑Oxide: Strong, sweat‑resistant hold for long sessions.
  • K‑Tape: Designed for extended wear and high mobility.
  • Cohesive: Ideal for quick fixes; can be reapplied mid‑session if needed.

Yes - the tapes follow a simple prep → anchor → wrap method, making them easy for first‑time users while still delivering pro‑level performance.

Yes.

  • Zinc‑Oxide grips hard through sweat and friction.
  • K‑Tape is water‑resistant and built for movement.
  • Cohesive sticks to itself, so sweat doesn’t affect its hold.

It can support areas affected by:

  • Shin splints
  • Runner’s knee
  • Ankle instability
  • Plantar strain
  • Calf tightness

It’s not a medical treatment, but it helps reduce stress on vulnerable areas.
