Taping for Plantar Fasciitis

Step 1

• Starting on the inside of the foot apply a strip of zinc oxide tape as shown above.
• The tape should be about 2 cm in width. Note you should finish up at the same point you started from.
• Try not to get any wrinkles in the tape as this could cause blisters.

Step 2

• Next do the same starting on the outside of the foot and finishing on the outside of the foot.
• You should have a crossed pattern as shown on the left.
• Then repeat these first two steps overlapping with tape until you have applied two pieces of tape each side.

Step 3

• Finally cover what you have just done with a number of shorts strips of tape that go across the underneath of the foot.
• Again be careful not to wrinkle the tape or do it too tight.

Finally

• You might like to finish it off with a small piece of tape across the top of the foot connecting each side to secure it.
• This is what is should like like when finished.
