This taping technique is very helpful for those with plantar fasciitis, heel pain or ankle and knee pain. It provides structural support to the arch and sole of the foot and therefore helps alignment of the joints of the foot, ankle and knee. It may even be useful in patients with hip and low back pain. The best thing about it is that it’s quick and easy to apply, and you can even learn to do it yourself.
We recommend a trial period of 48 hours to see if works for you. If it’s effective you may want to go with a longer term solution such as orthotics, but these can be expensive so we recommend giving this a shot first!
