Heel Pain is usually blamed on plantar fasciitis, and this is a very common cause. But your heel pain could be coming from FAT PAD SYNDROME!
If you are suffering with heel pain from fat pad syndrome this taping technique will be great for you. Jen had heel pain for three days and this taping technique from Dr. Bradley helped relieve pain immediately when she walked.

You saved my life!!! I had been very sedentary for 20 years after a back injury and only became active 2 years ago, since then I've had excruciating pain in my heel. Podiatrists and gp's told me it was "mild" plantar fasciitis but the plantar wasn't tender to the touch and the orthotics I was prescribed did nothing to alleviate the pain. Today I taped my foot up just like you demonstrated and instantly the pain was reduced.
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing
Amazing. My gp, Physio, podiatrist all said it was plantar fasciitis. However all the exercises and orthotic shoes were not helping and I was still getting lots of pain. I only started taping this way a week ago and I can see so much improvement. Thank you for this.
Thanks for sharing! That's great!!
Thank you very much for this wonderful and useful demonstration. I have had heel pain for four months. After doing this procedure by myself, the pain disappeared straight away. You are the magician. All the best from Adelaide, South Australia!
Wonderful news! Thanks for watching and for your feedback 😀
bloody genius! Thank you so much for sharing
You are welcome
Thank you so much!!! Just physically pushing my fat pad together already gives me some relief. I can't wait until my tape comes in. I have been going crazy with this heel pain not being able to run. I have tried treating it as plantar fasciitis, achilles tendonitis, and at one time I even thought it was a stress fracture. Now I finally have figured it out and can get some relief. Thank you thank you thank you!

@@prochiropracticcan I play Pickleball and ride bike with heel fat pad atrophy?
You can do almost any activity, but the key is in managing the load, that's where the taping helps you to gain progress with this condition!
This sounds exactly what I have. This treatment, i’ve tried kinesiology tape but not with the plaster tape over the top.
Should this tape remain on as a permanent solution or just when exercising ?
Permanent. Tape for four days. Remove for one.
Most of the videos I have seen show the fat pad on the heel. My problem is the fat pad on the peds just under my toes. Have a tape technic for that part of the feet?
We don't have a video for that, but could shoot one!
I suffer from the same condition but I have it after an impact that have ripped the fat pad. It was a year ago. Is it possible to heal ripped fat pad using this technique? I'm also considering a surgery but would like to give it a try. How long does it take to validate taping approach?
Hard to say how much the Fat Pad would heal and regebron it's own
How long do you need to tape it for the tissue to come back?
That is unique to each case
If it takes 6 wks to 6 mos to heel, how often do you reapply the tape and is it best to leave it on all the time?
Give your skin 1-2 days rest for every 7 days tape is on!
Is it possible for this problem to last for months? Fat Pad Atrophy?Is the taping something that will have to be done for many years?
Yes and yes
Do heel pad syndrome symptoms continue when the foot is not loaded? And if so, are we looking at neuritis?
Yes they will, as overloaded tissues are damaged.
How long the tape last? Do I have to do this every day?
3-5 days when properly applied, and you should rest your skin for 1-2 days every 10 days
What kind of tape are you using?
Rocktape base, and Leukotape for the rigid pull
What tape are you using? The black stuff?
Custom RockTape @rocktape
How long can the tape stay on? Should one do it every morning or can you go 2 days?
As long as it stays on. 2-3 days and I redo mine
Should stay 3-5 days, even with showering. If applied properly.
Chronic problem but it can be fixed with tape to build up the fat pad?
The impact if offloaded by the taping, allowing the body the best chance to heal.
@@prochiropracticwill this taping help the fat pad to be rebuild?
The load must be managed for the fat pad to heal and regenerate. This taping helps manage the load.
What's the timeline on recovery for fat pad syndrome?
6 weeks to 6 months. Varies alot depending on activity, weight, genetics, etc.
@@prochiropractic Activity is better or worse for this condition?
I'd like to know this as well.
Movement is good, loading needs to be moderated.
Thanks for watching
Thank you. What kind of tape is the beige one?
Leukotape. Just shot another video of this for our Instagram!
@@prochiropractic Thank you!
Is there a certain way to tape the ball of the foot that suffers from fat pad atrophy?
Yes, a longitudinal arch taping may offload this area.
Pro Chiropractic I believe I might have the same issue. The ball of my right foot has significantly less padding than the left and I’ve now had pain in that area for over a year. Doctors I’ve seen say “it looks fine” but I can feel every bone very easily. Can you be more specific on how to tape that area?
@@ryanmckenzie1922 would also love to know
How long should the tape stay on?
3-5 days!
I mainly wear my slider sandals and put my heel off to the side so I can walk. This thing has tortured me for over 1 yr. I tried ice baths and i power massager it 1-2 hrs a day. I pray I can break apart that fascia and knots which seem to cause the pressure. There so dense. I tried ice baths too. Your technique could offset it I’ll try it.
Sounds like there may be a number of issues contributing to your pain. An evaluation is in order, but yes this treatment may be part of the solution 😀
How long should ghe sports tape be? I boight a roll but am not sure now how long to cut
4-6 inches
@@prochiropractic thank you
is this curable or just temporary solution?
both! :)
@@prochiropractic How can taping your heel be both a permanent cure and a temporary solution? Do you mean that if you tape your heel everyday for the rest of your life, then taping is a permanent cure?
@@lisanakagawa1071 Id like to know this as well.. Hoping for an answer.
The goal of the taping is to manage load. If properly managed, then the irritation can be mitigated, and relief is found. If this is done for long enough, then the fat pad may regenerate. This this can be both for relief and rehabilitation.
Thanks for watching!
How many inches are the tape?
5-6"
@@prochiropractic thank you
What was the s econd tape you used? Couldn't catch it. Going to do this.
Leukotape. More rigid.
What if you are sensitive to the tape.
About 2% of people are highly sensitive and can't use the tape
I found a sensitive skin one for the bottom tape. I'm one of the lucky 2%...
Bummer!
