Method to apply an orthopedic therapy apparatus to user skin

A method for applying an orthopedic therapy apparatus to a user's skin, the method comprising:

• folding a first adhesion surface side portion and a second adhesion surface side portion of the orthopedic therapy apparatus around a deformable textile body longitudinal axis by using a first pair of separating cuts and a second pair of separating cuts,
• wherein the orthopedic therapy apparatus comprises:
• a deformable textile body comprising an adhesion surface and a non-adhesion surface opposite to the adhesion surface,
• a first adhesion pad surface disposed on the adhesion surface at a deformable textile body proximal end,
• a second adhesion pad surface disposed on the adhesion surface at a deformable textile body distal end, and
• a first protective cover removably disposed on the first adhesion pad surface and a second protective cover removably disposed on the second adhesion pad surface, wherein the first protective cover and the second protective cover expose the first adhesion pad surface and the second adhesion pad surface when the first proactive cover and the second protective cover are removed,
• wherein the first adhesion surface side portion is disposed proximate to an orthopedic therapy apparatus edge along the deformable textile body longitudinal axis, wherein the first adhesion surface side portion is disposed between the first adhesion pad surface and the second adhesion pad surface,
• wherein the second adhesion surface side portion is disposed proximate to an orthopedic therapy apparatus opposite edge along the deformable textile body longitudinal axis, wherein the second adhesion surface side portion is disposed between the first adhesion pad surface and the second adhesion pad surface,
• wherein the first pair of separating cuts is disposed proximate to a deformable textile body proximal end, and the second pair of separating cuts is disposed proximate to a deformable textile body distal end,
• wherein the first adhesion surface side portion and the second adhesion surface side portion fold to contact and adhere to a deformable textile body middle portion to form a tension member, and wherein the deformable textile body and the tension member are comprised of a single length of a deformable textile material;
• removing the first protective cover and the second protective cover;
• and
• applying the orthopedic therapy apparatus to the user's skin by using the first adhesion pad surface and the second adhesion pad surface.
