The SpiderTech Full Knee Spider is a precut kinesiology tape for the knee joint and the muscles that stabilize and support it. It relieves pain, inflammation and swelling related to a wide variety of knee conditions. The elastic properties of the SpiderTech Full Knee tape allow it to provide pain relief and support without limiting range of motion. This allows many individuals with knee injuries to remain active as they recover, preventing the loss of strength and mobility that often occurs after taking time off. The Knee Spider can be used for acute or chronic conditions, as well as recovery from knee surgery.
Individuals with severe stability problems can wear the Upper Knee Spider under a hard brace. The kinesiology tape will enhance muscle activation to generate additional strength while the hard brace provides rigid structural support.
Wondering whether you need the Upper Knee or Full Knee? In general, the Full Knee Spider is recommended for acute trauma and degenerative conditions such as arthritis. The Upper Knee is suitable for overuse conditions and non-acute sports injuries, especially when returning to (or continuing) athletic activity.
