The taping technique has been utilized more and more not only in professional sports treatment but also in regular sports clinics to help individuals better recover and get rid of pain (well, in this case, foot pain, as soon as possible). What does the taping technique do and how does the taping technique help foot pain?

The taping technique is often used in conjunction with physical therapy and manual adjustment to the foot to treat such conditions.

The most common condition of foot pain seen in our office is sports-related overuse type injuries of the foot which create a significant amount of inflammation in the bottom or heel portion of the foot that prevents our athletes from continuing their sports, better known as Plantar fasciitis. Many causes can lead to pain in the foot area. This arch heavily relies on its muscle, innervation, and blood supply to carry out its function.Ĭongenital anomalies (flat foot) or acquired trauma (for example, stepping off on rocks wrong or heavy objects dropped onto the foot by accident) to any element of the medial longitudinal arch can result in mild to severe foot pain or dysfunction in the foot. The medial longitudinal arch of the foot allows for the proper function of the lower extremity during the gait cycle. There are three arches in our foot: the medial longitudinal arch, the lateral longitudinal arch, and the anterior transverse arch, which are shaped by the metatarsal and tarsal bones and braced by tendons and ligaments of the foot. While de-load taping is useful for initial pain relief and a reduction in symptoms, it is important to note that complete rehabilitation will only occur when all potential causative factors are addressed (as in the below diagram).To better understand foot pain, let’s take a quick review of foot structures:

Signs to look for: pain on the sole of the foot close to the heel bone that is made worse with running, pain with getting out of bed in the morning, or ‘start up’ pain after prolonged periods of sitting as the first steps are taken.

Chief Causes: tight muscle surrounding the foot (calves, tibilais anterior), restricted fascia around the heel, weakness of the hip muscles, training loads suddenly increased, inappropriate footwear, flat feet or dropped arches, excess body weight, poor running technique.

The sufferer will experiences a proportionate and gradual increase in the pain on the sole of their foot. Rather the fascia undergoes a gradual decline in its strength and tissue quality. Similar to the tendon changes that affect the achilles tendon the plantar fascia itself does not tend to get inflamed as the Latin suffix ‘it is’ denotes. See video below for a demonstration of the low-dye foot taping technique. In this video I demonstrate my favourite way to tape the foot to help relive the pain associated with plantar fasciitis, and to de-load the plantar fascia. It is my favourite way to tape as it is the easiest tape for a runner to apply to their own foot, and typically easier to remove than other taping techniques used for plantar fasciitis. There are several common different taping methods used, my favourite being ‘low-dye taping’ as demonstrated in the video below.

There are several ways that plantar fascia pain can be decreased through tissue de-loading. What is de-loading? As the term suggests to de-load means to take excessive ‘load’ off the irritated area, the theory being to help create: (1) pain-relief, and (2) a more conducive local tissue environment to heal. One of the best strategies for initially ‘settling down’ the irritability and associated pain and physical limitation produced by active plantar fasciitis is to ‘de-load’ the symptomatic area.
