This taping method is really helpful if you’re having knee problems, like pain around the kneecap or trouble moving your knee comfortably. It gives your knee extra support, making it easier to walk, climb stairs, or squat without discomfort. By keeping your knee stable, it helps spread pressure evenly, reducing strain and making movement feel better. Using this taping regularly can also improve your posture and lower your risk of getting hurt. It’s a simple way to keep your knees feeling good and moving well!

Christina’s advice when taping your knee
When taping your knee, it’s crucial to choose a tape that provides strong adhesion and support. That’s why I recommend CureTape kinesiology tape. For regular use, CureTape Classic or Art is ideal. However, if you’re engaging in extreme sports or swimming, opt for the extra sticky CureTape Sports variant!
How to tape your knee for stabilisation
Tips for Effective Knee Taping:
- Make sure you understand what’s causing the pain or discomfort
- Check if there are any reasons why taping might not be a good idea.
- Before you start, read the instructions carefully.
- Choose a tape colour or print that suits your style!
- Round of all the edges to prevent peeling.
- Avoid stretching the tape at the beginning and end.
- Rub the tape firmly for better adhesion; warmth helps activate the adhesive.
- You can shower or swim with the tape on; just pat it dry gently afterward, avoiding vigorous rubbing.
- To remove the tape easily, use body or massage oil.
Preparation for taping the knee for stabilisation
Tape
Shape: I-Tapes.
Number of strips: 3.
Technique: Muscle technique (light pull) + ligament technique(maximum/full stretch).
Measuring and cutting the tape
Step 1:
- Sit on a chair with the knee bent and measure two tapes from below the kneecap to mid-thigh.
- The third tape should be approx. 15 cm long.
Application of the tape to the knee
Stap 1:
Stap 2:
Stap 3:
- The knee must remain bent during the application of the tape.
- Place the base of the first tape at the side under the kneecap without stretching.
- Apply the tape with a slight stretch towards the outer thigh.
- Repeat with the second tape, which begins on the inside of the kneecap and goes to the inside of the thigh.
- Rub the two tapes together.
- Tear the release paper from the third tape in the middle, and apply the middle piece with maximum stretch directly under the kneecap.
- Allow the two ends to extend without stretching, gently rubbing the tape. Make sure that the two ends do not end in the hollow of the knee.
This tape application is intended to support and relieve the knee. If the symptoms do not improve, you can alternatively apply the tape for knee pain in general.
