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 using your hands a lot on a daily basis, opt for the extra sticky CureTape Sports variant!
