Taping for the ITB band is no simple task from the standpoint that your ITB muscle pain could be the result of any number of issues including pronation, being bow legged or having knock knees (genu valgus).

SpiderTech Hip has a good precut kinesiology tape application for the hip joint and the muscles of the outer thigh and gluteal area. It is designed to reduce pain, inflammation and spasms in the hip, and outer portions of the thigh.

To apply from a kinesio tape roll you’d need a long ‘Y’ strip about 12-14” long.

The value of the Hip Spider is that is provides pain relief and functional support while still allowing full range of motion

The outer thigh muscles are heavily involved in activities that involve running, cycling and jumping. If using the hip spider, athletes with hip or gluteal injuries can remain active as they recover, so they don’t lose the strength and mobility from taking a break from an injury.

The Hip Spider or Kinesio ‘Y’ tape application is appropriate for many conditions

The Hip Spider works for both acute or chronic hip conditions, and is an excellent restorative tool for those recovering from hip surgery. One SpiderTech application lasts 5 days.

What Kinesio tape and SpiderTech tape can do:

• SpiderTech Hip Tape or kinesio ‘y’ strip tape can relieve pain from acute and chronic hip injuries
• Reduce swelling and inflammation
• Relieve fatigue and accelerates recovery in overused muscles
• Provide protection during healing from hamstring injuries
• Improve strength and contractility of injured muscles
• Provide support without restricting range of motion
• Support strength in weak, injured or poorly-toned muscles

SpiderTech Tape or kinesio cut in a ‘Y’ strip can Relieve Hip Pain Associated with these conditions:

• Iliotibial Band, ITB, Syndrome
• Strained Gluteal Muscles
• Bursitis or Arthritis of the Hip
• Muscle Imbalance in the Hip/Gluteal Area
• Enhanced strength via restoration of normal muscle activation in injured muscles
• Accelerated recovery/return to activity after hip surgery
