KB Tape is extremely useful to wear any time that you're going to be exercising, or using the area that is injured a lot. KB Tape works by holding the groups of muscles and skin together, forming a sort of "armor" for your injury, and preventing aggravation.
It is designed to last at least 24 hours per application, but may be left on for up to three days. Wearing the tape may also help with pain during the night. It provides light support and compression, as well as having a stabilizing effect on your injury.
To apply the tape, I'd recommend taking a look at a website called "howtotapeinjuries . com." It shows photos and step by step instructions for how to apply the tape onto almost any body part. Link below!
