Neck Pre-Cut Application

Kinesiology taping is a skill and takes time to perfect. Although the Neck 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

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.

Have the subject turn their head and look down towards the right armpit. Gently start removing the backing of the left side section 4 as you lay the tape down on the skin along the top ridge of the trapezius muscle without any stretch in the tape. Continue until the entire section of tape is applied to the muscle. Once applied, gently rub over top of the tape to activate the glue.

Then, have the subject turn their head and look down towards the left armpit. Gently start removing the backing of the right side section 4 as you lay the tape down on the skin along the top ridge of the trapezius muscle without any stretch in the tape. Continue until the entire section of tape is applied to the muscle. Once applied, gently rub over top of the tape to activate the glue.

Once the Neck Pre-Cut is applied, gently rub the tape to activate the glue.
