Tape Strips Needed: 2
TAPING INSTRUCTIONS
Thumb / De Quervain's
Step 1
Cut a centered, lengthwise slit approximately 3 inches into one end of the first strip, creating two separate tails while leaving the remainder of the strip intact.
Step 2
Position the uncut portion of the strip along the thumb side of the wrist and forearm, with the two split ends extending toward the thumb, as illustrated. Apply the tape and rub gently to activate the adhesive.
Step 3
Working with one split tail at a time, guide the tape diagonally around the thumb, crossing the two tails to create a figure-eight pattern as shown. Avoid wrapping the tape tightly or restricting thumb movement.
Step 4
Apply a second, shorter strip across the wrist, perpendicular to the first strip. Trim to fit, leaving a small gap between the ends to avoid creating a tight, restrictive wrap.
NOTE: For hard-to-reach areas, ask someone to assist with application to ensure proper tape placement.
If the tape increases numbness, tingling, pain, or causes changes in finger color or temperature, remove it promptly and seek medical advice.
