KT Tape: Plantar Fasciitis II

CHECK OUT THE NEW VERSION: http://bit.ly/Ax3s66

The plantar fascia, or arch tendon, is a thick band of tissue that runs from the heel to the front of the foot and functions to support the arch of the foot. Heel spurs are sometimes associated with plantar fasciitis, but are a separate condition. Degeneration of the plantar fascia presents the same pain and necessitates the same treatment as plantar fasciitis, but is technically termed plantar fasciosis.
Pain is almost always felt on the underside of the heel and most often along the arch of the foot. Plantar fasciitis is an inflammatory condition that is brought about by overuse of the fascia due to athletic training such as running, bearing significant weight for long periods of time, or jumping and dancing.
Those who pronate (roll their feet in), are overweight, wear old or poorly fit shoes, or who have abnormal foot structure are at a higher risk of developing plantar fasciitis.
Using KT Tape for this condition has shown tremendous results in alleviating pain and promoting the healing process. The tape provides comfortable support for the fascia serving to relax the foot and reduce inflammation.
Proper diagnosis of the source of your pain is vital to creating a treatment plan to reduce pain and improve function. Your professional medical provider has the tools and expertise to diagnose and develop a treatment plan for your specific condition.

im trying to do this buy it doesnt stick! i tryed cleaning my foot with alcohol but that didnt work any tips?

[LumosInc]

@tommy1012007 The foot apps are harder because it's a hard place for tape- but make sure you rub your hand over tape once applied to get the edges down/ and activate the adhesive. Take extra time on this step- makes a huge difference. On average the tape lasts 1-2 days on the foot. Does that help?

[tommy1012007]

what if the pain is more on the hheel?

[LumosInc]

@tommy1012007 Great question. Just adjust the placement of the 2nd and 3'd strips over the point of pain on the heel. thx.

[LumosInc]

@alvarez8888 The easiest way is to watch the video's. they call out when to stretch and not stretch. If you have any other questions please let us know. thx.

[DownloadSyndrome]

As a LMT in sports medicine and KT tape certified (origin kinesio Tex.com) the trigger point for this ailment goes all the way up by the knee where the calf muscles originate.

[munimontana]

is there any difference between this technique and the technique where they tape all around the foot surface?
