Keeping Magnets in Place: Using Kinesiology Tape During Therapy

Hands-free, secure placement for your Biomagnetic Pair sessions.

When practicing Biomagnetic Pair Therapy (BMP) one thing is certain: you need your magnets to stay put. That’s where kinesiology tape comes in—a flexible, breathable solution to hold magnets in place comfortably and securely during sessions.

In this post, you’ll learn exactly how to use kinesiology tape with magnets, what type of tape to choose, and our favorite tips for a smooth, mess-free application.

What Is Kinesiology Tape?

Kinesiology tape (also known as “k-tape”) is a stretchable, skin-safe adhesive tape commonly used in physical therapy and sports recovery. It’s:

  • Breathable

  • Latex-free (usually)

  • Gentle on skin

  • Easy to cut to custom sizes

  • Stays on even if you sweat a little

What You’ll Need

✔️ Red & black therapy magnets

✔️ Kinesiology tape (in roll or precut strips)

✔️ Scissors (or tape cutter)

✔️ Alcohol wipes or cloth to clean skin

✔️ Optional: tape remover or oil for sensitive skin

Step-by-Step: How to Tape Magnets in Place

1. Prep the Area

If placing the magnet on an area that is not covered by clothing it may be necessary to wipe the skin clean and dry. This is usually because there are oils or lotions on skin that will reduce tape adhesion and cleaning it helps avoid that.

2. Cut the Tape

Cut two small strips—long enough to hold your magnet securely in place. Some therapists use a “+” shape or an “X” pattern.  

Pro Tip: Round the corners of your tape to prevent it from peeling up during the session.

3. Place the Magnet

Position the red or black magnet directly over the targeted Biomagnetic Pair point. Make sure the polarity is correct (red = south/+ | black = north/–).

4. Secure with Tape

Apply the tape gently over the magnet without stretching too tightly. Press down the edges to secure.

5. Relax & Let It Work

Leave the magnets on for your session time (15–30 mins). Then gently remove the tape and store your magnets safely.

Tape Tips to Avoid Common Mistakes
  • ❌ Don’t tape over wet or sweaty skin

  • ❌ Don’t reuse tape (always use fresh strips)

  • ✅ Do label your magnets (red/black) to prevent placement errors

  • ✅ Do trim any excess tape for comfort

Final Thoughts

Kinesiology tape is an easy, affordable solution that makes a Biomagnetic Pair Therapy session smoother and more effective. Whether you’re taping magnets for a solo session or managing multiple clients, it’s a simple upgrade that improves comfort, control, and professionalism.

With the right tape and a little practice, your magnets will stay exactly where they need to, so you can focus on healing.
