Plantar fasciitis taping can be done in the following procedures:
- Place the foot in a neutral position.
- Attach the tape around the heel from the bottom of the big toe ending under the bottom of the pinkie toe. Keep smoothing the tape to avoid wrinkles.
- Attach an anchor tape from the bottom of the big toe across the foot to the bottom of the pinkie toe.
- Attach a strip of tape from the bottom of the big toe around the heel and back to the starting point.
- Attach a strip of tape from the bottom of the pinkie toe around the heel and back to the starting point.
- Attach a strip of tape from the bottom of the pinkie toe around the other side of the heel forming an X back to the bottom of the big toe.
- Attach a strip of tape from one side across the foot to the other side and again until the foot is covered.
The longitudinal arch taping is a taping technique that supports the plantar fascia. It is quite simple and efficient. Hold the foot in a neutral position. 3 tape strips are applied on the bottom of the foot from the bottom of the toes to the heel. The first is in the middle and the rest to the sides.
The arch brace taping is a plantar fasciitis taping technique that supports the longitudinal arch. It is the simplest technique of them all. Wrap a tape around the arch at the middle of your foot to perform a brace. The tape can also be applied over a sock.
