Thank you. I have PTTD and if I do one thing wrong it flares up. I've tried other taping techniques as well--I really like this one, feels completed supported and the tap isn't running up my leg. Feels greatly supported but not "exposed" (no need to explain PTTD to everyone). Planning a 4mi run today, looking forward to how it feels then...would be nice to forget about it and just enjoy running.

Thank you! Saying all of the details like how much to stretch the tape is very helpful as that isn't intuitive for many of us!

wouldn't you want to start at the finish and pull up from the arch? this direction doesn't seem intuitive to me.

Yes you totally could. This technique does work though. Give it a try and report back.

I pulled it doing heel raises on Tuesday. I have a hiking trip scheduled for 7 days later- how long do I rest the ankle/leg to help minimize injury? Thx for taping technique, I’ll tape it as well

Likely one week will not be enough for an injury like this. So if you choose to go on your hiking trip, I would suggest trying to immobilize as much as possible. Wear a good fitted boot with arch support. Best of luck.

Will it work for stage 4? I wear orthotic braces, but they need replaced badly. I'm seeing one on the 22nd to get fitted since its been since 2015. I'm in a lot of pain right now as I'm waiting. The process takes about 3 months.

Great question! Yes, it is likely to help some. But it will not take the place of a properly fitted orthotic for a stage 4 tear. But if you're in pain and have to wait on the orthotic, then I would definitely recommend giving it a try. You can use the tape and an orthotic at the same time. All the best!

"Ordinary Girl" DId you get a good new orthotic? I am struggling with my orthotic and interested in what is working for others.

Does this also work for tenosynovitis of the posterior tibialis tendon?

Great question. Yes I have used this technique as a way to help support the area and provide some symptom relief. Try it and see if it works for you.

It would be useful if you also showed the other side of the foot so we can see precisely where you put the tape.

I just want to say thank you! I tried this wrapping technique for my 8 hour work day. I’m on my feet all day and struggle with arch/ankle pain. It felt so comfortable throughout the day and relieved my symptoms by a lot. Thank u!! 😊

I have PTTD from an adverse reaction from antibiotics a year ago. I tried physical therapy but this doesn’t seem to be a “repairable injury” and more of just a chronic condition. Can physical therapy still help? I use red light therapy as well. When it first happened I immediately taped it. I have been using tape since 2003 for everything. I’m going to try this technique. As I of now I just have the tape following along the tendon but this seems like it would add better support

Yes PT can still help. And taping along the tendon can also help. How has that worked for you so far?

I recommend seeing a podiatrist or physical therapist so they can fit an appropriate brace to you.

You say once the arch has fallen surgery is most likely indicated. Can you reverse a fallen arch without surgery, by healing and strengthening the tendon(or some other non-surgical way)?
@ThePhysicalTherapyAdvisor
Жыл бұрын
Great question. Once the arch has officially "fallen" that typically means the tendon has torn and the bone has actually moved and rotated downward. This would only improved with surgery. However, that is not the same thing as someone having "flat feet" where there is a reduced arch present that can be impacted by strengthening. Hope that clarifies the difference. One is an actual pathology from injury, the other falls within the range of norms and can be impacted.
