Thank You for allowing the patient to do the taping. Most videos have the speaker of doctor doing the taping. Sometimes I cant get my foot in the position to properly tape it.

With the pain I was feeling on the top of my foot, this was a shot in the dark after extensive googling and a best guess at extensor tendonitis. I honestly can’t believe how much it helped. It makes sense as to why it does, but the pain didn’t seem like it could be fixed by doing something this easy. So happy I picked up some KT tape and tried it because I finally don’t feel any pain when I’m walking-after days of waiting for it to subside and realizing it wasn’t. Thank you so much!

This video is 11 years old….this same company/channel has a new video that’s now 4 months old that has a slightly different method as to which sections you apply in what order and the 2 pieces that go across are at more pronounced angles. I wonder which one is better or if this method is obsolete?

Walked the Camino De Santiago last year and had about 3 days of Top of Foot pain (on the tendon). I had to stop for about 20 mins every hour which wasn't very practical at all! Was walking with my cousin and she pulled up this video so I gave it a try ... pain subsided, and I completed the rest of the walk pain-free!! Absolute godsent for anyone struggling with this on longer walks. Thank you!

Getting ready for my first Camino next week and get this pain when power walking to train... am surprised I don’t hear more about KT on Camino discussions! Trying it out today.

Personally have experimented with both the old and new method and found that a reverse of the new method- applying the vertical strip with stretch first then the 2 horizontal strips, seems to work better for pain relief and stays on longer - Registered Nurse

The original KT Tape is made from cotton and comes in a black box and has the I and Y strips. The KT Tape Pro is made from synthetic fibers, comes in an orange box and only has the I strips. This is what is featured in the video.

I’d like to see a demo of taping for muscle imbalance of calf and foot to relieve the tension of the back of calf and bottom of foot. In this case the dorsi are weak, so that claw toes develop. Please! ;-)

is the blue and yellow tape any different from each other? or is it just the color

Good tip about rounding the corners

I think I have tendinitis of my extensor digitorum brevis and longus. Can this method with KT tape be used for this type of foot pain as well? I play tennis 4-5 days a week and need some relief.

My point of pain is on the outside of the foot. How exactly would I place the tape?

thank you

Will this help my severe arthritis in the feet - especially top of foot.

Would this help a lesfranc injury? I can't have surgery. Also have extensor tendonitis and advanced arthritis ankle among other foot deformities.

Does this work for mid-foot sprains?

You have two videos for pain on top of the foot with conflicting techniques. Could you please clarify which one is the correct one and why? In this video, the vertical strip is stretched and goes over two lateral strips. In the other video the vertical strip is not stretched and goes under a single lateral strip. Thanks Jesus

Does this tape job work with the original KT tape?

If I was to do this maybe twice a week or less how long should a roll of KT tape last? I'm a student so I'm not one with lots of money to spend... and what's the difference between the KT tape Pro, and the original, other than the I and Y? will it work the same way?

Jackie, The Original is made of cotton and the Pro is made of synthetic fibers. This makes it stay on much longer. We stopped making the Y strips because we found that more support is better and when you use the I strips there is 2 inches of glue holding down each piece of tape rather than 1. The Original should stay on for 1-3 days and the Pro should stay on for 3-7 days or more. So I would recommend using the Pro and Taping once a week. You should get around 6-10 weeks of tape on each roll.

What about pain on the outer edges of the foot where the pain on the inner edge goes under part of the foot? How would u apply that correctly?

If you don't have precut tape what is a full strip?

and all the rolls have i strips and Y strips or are 2 different rolls ?

+KTTape I'm a professional taekwondo martial artist and it's be great to see videos aimed towards taping for blunt force injuries to the feet and legs (injuries that may be less common in other sports)

CAN you show how to do this for help balancing the tension between the dorsal muscles and plantar muscles that is usually the cause of claw toes? Stretching the soleus and gastrocnemius muscles has been recommended while strengthening the muscles on the top of the foot are recommended, but it seems this tape could be used on top of the foot to offset the tension of those on the bottom of the foot. I'm hoping that while claw toes are just beginning, the tape on the top of the foot could help, but I have never seen it done even by a physical therapist. Any thoughts? Thanks.
