Should i feel something?
Some people feel a tingle from the menthol, and some people don’t, and that’s ok. The tape can still work even if you don’t feel a tingle.
For most people, it takes 1-2 hours after applying the tape to start to feel some results. Rubbing the tape after application helps. Remember, Menthol and Magnesium will be re-activated when wet (ie. Shower, Sweat)
(If you want to feel the tingle, consider doubling up on strips in the area, without overlapping the tape. **If this is your first time using Heali Tape, only use one strip for the first 24hours).
What should i do if i have long body hair?
Applying kinesiology tape over long body hair is not recommended as it can pull the hair with movement and create some minor discomfort. For best results and comfort trim or shave long body hair before applying HEALI Tape.

Do i have to wear the tape for 4-7 days?
The tape can be removed at any point – please see removing tape section on the website for tips to help make removal easier.
Is it ok to remove tape in the shower?
For best results, avoid removing tape in the shower. Please see removing tape section on the website.
What are best tips for applying tape?
For best results apply the tape one hour prior to activity. Immediately rub the tape to activate its ingredients. Try and avoid taping over sensitive areas like the back of the knee or front of the elbow. Plan your tape application – you do not want to have to peel off and re-stick. If you must peel and re-stick, use a new piece of tape for best results. Stop stretching tape when you reach the anchor zones (last 2 inches/5 cm of tape). If you are using more than one piece of tape, avoid layering tape except where required. This will help improve the stick.
Can anyone use HEALI Tape?
Heali tape is safe for ages 12 and up and is good for almost anyone at any level of activity. Please review precautions on website.
Can I use heating pads or ice or other creams on top of HEALI Tape?
No. Please remove tape first.
What about wearing HEALI Tape over peeling or very dry skin?
Heali Tape should not be applied over any open wounds. If Heali Tape is applied over extremely dry or peeling skin, a slight itchy sensation might be felt under the tape. If this occurs, wear Heali Tape for a shorter time period. Exfoliating dry area or moisturizing the day before the tape application might help. (For best stick, apply tape to a clean dry area free of oil and creams).
Why is taking magnesium transdermally (through the skin) beneficial?
Magnesium has many amazing aspects that can help the body. Please review the website to learn more about magnesium and how it can work. Did you know? Transdermal absorption of magnesium in comparison to oral application is presented as being more effective due to increased absorption and for having fewer side effects (due to the fact that transdermal magnesium bypasses the gastrointestinal tract). Please see research link on our website for more scientific information. (Watkins K., Josling P.D.
