As long as it is used correctly and scientifically, pediatric kinesiology tape is suitable for almost all ages, from children to older people. It is often used in pediatric therapy, sports injury treatment, and physical rehabilitation for various diseases. However, special care should be taken when using it on young children, older people, or people with sensitive skin, as their skin may need to be tested for adverse reactions or allergies before it can be used safely. You can also consult a professional or WEMADE kinesiology tape manufacturer for advice on using the tape correctly.
