Kt Tape - Foot pad pain
Tip: Highlight text to annotate itX
This application is for forefoot pain, which could be from a variety of causes
including mortons neuroma, or connective tissue issues,
and this is a taping technique you can try for it.
For this application what I'll have you do is tear off an I-strip off that roll,
and go ahead and tear the paper right in the middle of the tape.
We are going to use the middle portion of the tape with fairly good stretch,
and when you stretch it- stretch it evenly using your forefinger or thumbs
to actually stretch the tape evenly versus pinching the middle or the side of the tape.
What we are going to do is place that on the bottom of the foot
as close to the toes as you can get without squishing the toes and apply full tension
on the bottom, and once you come around to the sides of the foot-
you are going to ease that tension off and lay those ends down on the
top of the foot with no tension on that tape.
Then lay the other end down with no tension, and rub that on with the paper-
and that will create a little friction, a little heat-
causing that tape to adhere better to the skin.
once you start moving yourself- that will warm up even more, and adhere even better.
That's how you tape for forefoot pain.
