Kinesiology taping is a skill and takes time to perfect. Although the Calf & Arch Pre-Cut makes it easier, please practice and be patient while applying until you are familiar with the handling of the tape.
Remember to:
- Tear all perforations before applying
- Do not touch the adhesive side of the tape
- Do not completely remove the backing of the tape until 90% of the tape is adhered to the skin
- Ensure each section is applied before moving on to the next section
- Rub over the top of the tape to activate the glue
Before applying the brace, tear all of the perforations. Place subject on their stomach and bend knee so that the bottom of the foot is exposed.
Peel of the backing of section 1 and apply to the subject’s forefoot just behind the toes. Gently rub over lop of the tape to activate the glue.
Position one arm of section 2 between the first and second toes, and the other arm between the third and fourth toes, adhering both to the top of the foot as you gently peel off the backing of the tape.
With the foot relaxed in a neutral position, peel off the backing of section 3 and stretch the tape over the arch of the foot approximately 2 inches more than its resting length anchoring the tape to the heel.
Adhere the tape to the arch of the foot and gently rub the tape to activate the glue.
With the subjects foot dorsiflexed and the calf stretched, peel off the backing of section 4 and apply to the Achilles tendon. Apply the remaining portion of section 4, above the Achilles, with no tension on the tape.
With the calf stretched, tear the backing off of the outside arm of section 5 and apply the tape with no stretch.
Equally spread all 4 projections over the calf. Rub the tape once applied to activate the glue.

Before applying the brace tear all of the perforations. Have the subject extend the arm downward, relaxing the hand. 
Place the middle finger through the opening on the support. 
Peel of the backing of section 1 and apply the tape to the palm of the hand with no stretch. 
Peel of the backing of section 2 and adhere to the back of the hand with no stretch on the tape. Gently rub over top of the tape to activate the glue. 
Hold the wrist in a flexed position with the fingers pointing down. Start peeling back the backing of section 3 and apply over the forearm with no stretching of the tape. 
Once the brace is applied, gently rub the tape to activate the glue.

With the subjects arm placed behind the back, stand peeling off the backing of section 2 and with a small amount of stretch, apply along the top of the shoulder blade.
With the subject's arm extended forward and the elbow straight, around the height of the shoulder, start peeling back section 7 and allow the tape to contact the skin along the tricep muscle.
To begin, have the subject seated or standing comfortably with the
head tilted forward with the chin towards the chest. Place the Neck Pre-Cut in
the approximate location with the upper ends 1 inch below the hair line to
identify where the base of the Neck Pre-Cut will be placed.
Once the location of the base is determined, remove the backing of
section 1 completely and apply. Gently rub over top of the tape to activate the
glue.
Peel the backing off of the right section 2 as you gently lay down
the tape on the skin without stretching the tape. Continue until the entire
section is applied. Gently rub over top of the tape to activate the glue.Repeat for the left side of section 2.
Gently remove the backing of section 3 on the left and lay down
the tape on top of the skin. Gently rub over top of the tape to activate the
glue.
Repeat on the left side of section 3.
Once the 
Before applying the brace tear all of the perforations. With the knee bent at a 90 degree angle, peel off half of section 1 and apply to the knee just below the knee cap. Once half of section 1 is applied, tear off the remaining backing of section 1 and apply. Gently rub over top of the tape to activate the glue. 
As you peel the backing of the inside arm of section 2, apply the tape with a mild amount of stretch around the inside border of the knee cap, crossing the thigh above the knee cap and ending up on the outside border of the thigh. 
As you peel back the backing on the outside arm of section 2, apply the tope with a mild amount of stretch around the outside border of the knee cap, crossing the thigh above the knee cap and ending up on the Inside border of the thigh. 
With the knee straight and the leg abducted, peel off the backing of the inside arm of section 3 and apply along the inside border of the thigh, with no tension on the tape, ending at the lateral border of the brace. 
With the knee straight and the leg abducted, peel the backing off the outside arm of section 3 and apply along the lateral border of the thigh, with no tension on the tape, ending at the outside border of the brace. 
Begin by tearing all of the perforations on the backing of the tape. After determining where the tape will be applied, remove the backing from the anchor end of the tape (Section 1), and apply it to the skin with no stretch in the tape. Rub the tape briskly from the center toward the edges to activate the adhesive. 
Stretch the underlying muscle group to its maximum pain-free range of motion. Begin removing the backing from the first “finger” of the tape, and apply it in a curve, along the outer boundary of the treated area. The tape should be stretched approximately 50% as it is applied, except for the final 1-2″ which should not be stretched. 
One at a time, apply the remaining fingers of this half of the application, following the curve of the first piece. Maintain a gap of approximately a finger width between each strip of tape. Continue to stretch the tape as it is applied, except for the final 1-2″. After each strip is applied, rub it briskly to activate the adhesive. 
Begin removing the backing from the outer strip of the other half of the application. Apply it in a curve along the opposite boundary of the treated area. The strip should cross over the strips that have already been applied. Continue applying the remaining strips parallel to the outer finger until all have been applied. 
The finished application should be symmetrical and completely cover the area of swelling or edema. Ensure that each strip has been rubbed to activate the adhesive. Return the muscle to a relaxed position. The tape should now appear somewhat wrinkled, indicating that it is lifting the skin and underlying tissues as desired.
