First Aid and Recovery with TRUETAPE®

TRUETAPE is a kinesiology tape that has been optimised for easy self-application. Kinesiotapes are used very widely in medical practice and physiotherapy for general musculoskeletal complaints, for example muscle bruises, strains, tension or sore muscles.*

What is special about us: we want to simplify the self-application of tape for our customers and, in addition to pre-cut strips, we also offer over 50 free video and photo instructions for taping. All instructions have been developed by doctors and physiotherapists and can be safely applied at home in just a few minutes.

*The statements about the optimal areas of application of TRUETAPE are based on many years of experience of our experts and renowned therapists from professional sports. The effect of kinesiological tapes has not yet been clearly clinically proven and is therefore still controversial, despite being widely used in the German health system.

There are 4 TRUETAPES® to choose from, which differ in their configuration and material - the adhesive properties are the same for all tapes. TRUETAPE® and TRUETAPE® Basic are available precut with 20 x 25cm strips per roll and uncut as a 5m roll.

If you want to tear off the strips directly from the roll or if you want to tap directly on the go and without scissors, you should choose the precut strips. The handling of precut strips is great. If you want to customise and cut your tape anyway, it's best to take one of the TRUETAPE® Uncut versions.

If you don't want to compromise on performance, go for one of the two high-performance TRUETAPE® versions made of highly elastic synthetic silk. For the everyday taper and occasional jogger, our TRUETAPE® Basic Tape made of cotton is the ideal choice.

You can use the TRUETOOLS almost all over your body and roll out hard-to-reach areas without help. However, please note that you should not roll with high pressure directly over bony structures, larger blood vessels or nerves.

There are two areas of application for crosstapes. The first area of application is pain points/trigger points and tension. For this, stick your TRUETAPE® crosstapes directly onto muscular pain points and tension knots. 

The second area of application is for scars. In order to apply TRUETAPE® Crosstape to scars, it is important that the wound is clean and already closed and that the stitches have been removed after an operation. You apply our Crosstapes here for approx. 3-5 weeks and directly after the scar has healed. *
