Below is a very useful video showing a foot taping we use in the clinic.
For this you will need:
| 38mm brown sports tape - you can purchase this from the clinic or from your local pharmacy or supermarket | |
| A sharp pair of scissors | |
| Some patience |
Some key things to note:
| Have the person pull their foot back at 90 degrees at the ankle to the leg and also pull their toes back to their shin | |
| You don't have to apply tension to the tape or twist the foot, just put it on firmly in the directions shown in the video | |
| The tape can be left on for showering - just let it dry a bit before putting shoes on. It may come off if you are swimming | |
| It can lose its effectiveness after 3-4 days | |
| Washing the foot is advisable between taping sessions | |
| If it gets itchy or uncomfortable remove straight away, wash the foot and call your Podiatrist |
