    THANK YOU SO MUCH! About a month ago my wife injured her heel walking about a mile in the soft sand of a Cape Cod tidal flat. The pain at its worst was an 8 out of 10. It's since calmed down to a solid 3. Not disabling but a solid nuisance.
    She just got it diagnosed a couple of days ago; insertional calcific tendonosis. Her doctor recommended different shoes and other things but never mentioned KT tape. I've had a lifetime of sports injuries and as I"m getting older degenerative changes in my knees, shoulders and hips but I remain very determined and active in my sport. Anyway I've had great success with KT tape on whatever joint I used it so I taped her heel according to your video and her pain within 15 minutes went to zero and has stayed that way.
    Thanks to whoever developed this simple, non-invasive, safe and cost-effective treatment modality and thanks to you for demonstrating its application.

    Ive had achilles tendonitis for the last 6 months due to a pretty strenuous running schedule. After long run days I could hardly walk down my stairs in the morning. I ran a 12K yesterday with KT tape for the first time and this morning there is very minimal pain. Its not a cure by any means, but it helped tremendously. I'm very pleased with this stuff. I'm definitely going to keep using it, because my assumption is that it will help make that tendon stronger over time and the pain will continue to decrease.

    • @lexwaldez

      Agreed. My doctor recommended it, and it's a huge help with controlling pain after you've overdone things a bit. Helps keep me from quitting the regimen and keeps me on target.

    Id like to throw in my 2 cents real quick. Ive been starting to deal with the achilles tendonitis thing for only a couple of weeks, not knowing that was what I had. I work as a steel worker and its just a lot of up and down ladders and carrying heavy objects. In trying to find a solution to my pain I came across this video. I dont have any KT Tape, (yet) but because of my job I have a bunch of electrical tape. I fallowed the same instructions and the pain just went away. I never thought it would be so immediate! As a quick solution my electrical tape saves me until payday, when im actually going to buy some of this tape. Thanks!

    Be careful if you tape the bottom of the foot if you are planing on running or hiking. The tape pulls back and your toes want to pull the muscles in the opposite direction. Can feel like you tearing something. Maybe trying minimal tension could help...

    THe advantage of the tape is that it does not create bulk or wrinkles, but beside that the use once, throw away tape is expensive and I don't see how it has any more support than a regular wrap or a velcro tape system that can be reused over and over. Again, please cite studies to show the advantage of this system over other reusable systems. Thanks!

    I'm no doctor, however I was advised not to use anti inflammatory medication. I had a grade two tear of my achillies tendon right where it meats the soleus muscle in the calf. Personally I would seek a very well known sonographor and an orthopaedic doctor to help in recovery. Once the orthopaedic surgeon has given you the all clear that is the recommended time to start rehabilitation.

      I use rock tape. I've heard they have a waterproof version, but the one I buy isn't. I do still wear it swimming. Generally it will survive an hour in the pool but you'll definitely need to replace it at the end of your swim.

    • @KTTapevideos
      @KTTapevideos  6 років тому +1

      The tape will stay applied in water, but on body parts that are exposed to high forces of water can sometimes be difficult. The flow of the water creates lifting on the leading edge of the tape that is overlapped. Once this happens, it does not take long before the water continues to lift the tape up.

  • @magickfighter
    @magickfighter 11 років тому

    The idea behind the taping is to help provide support, or in other words take some of the load off of the tendon to help recovery. That is what the first strip is for. Then you can use the last two strips near where it hurts. Those second strips also keep the first strip in place.

    I have been using KT tape for my achilles tendonitis but with a different cut method. (where you cut the tape in half up top and the two sides go up each side of the calf muscle in a V pattern.) I'm extremely impressed with the results so far. It almost eliminates my pain entirely when I play basketball. This works even better than my achilles compression brace (which I don't think reaches quite low enough to where my pain resides). I will be trying out this new application method on my next taping since it seems to use less tape than the other method.

    @JackFultzBMC76 10 років тому

    Why would you dorsiflex your foot and tape in an elongated position. The objective of the tape is to reduce the amount of stretch and workload the Achilles does at impact. And the only way taping increases circulation is if it holds in body heat - there's nothing magical in the tape itself, unless it's coated similar to a back plaster.

    • @spenspuma
      @spenspuma 10 років тому

      Its NOTHING to do with support...its so the tape ripples and pulls the skin away from the tendon and lets more blood in..so heals quicker.

    • @mizzymike21
      @mizzymike21 10 років тому +1

      The tape has stretch on it, so fully elongating the muscle and then applying the tape allows the tape to assist with plantar flexion, thus taking stress off the tendon

      There are several factors in plantar foot treatment. One resource I found which succeeds in merging these is the Fergs Foot Formula (check it out on google) without a doubt the most helpful treatment that I have ever seen.look at the amazing information .

      I overdid the running thing, ruptured the achilles, and had to cool it for a couple months. Doc recommended your tape to help me cope with pain associated with rehab'ing and getting back to 100%. Thanks doc! So, Zara, I'd recommend making sure your doctor has checked you out and okayed you getting back into sport, but the tape definitely helps.

    Can i put this on before a run? Will sweat cause the tape to lose its grip?

    Was doing this as I played the video. The cleaning and shaving part would have been wonderful to know at the start, not afterwards

    Do I want to point my toes down or up when applying the first piece of tape from the heel to the back of the calf? I always thought it was best to point them down, bit in the video is says up.

    It s best to massage and relax the calf muscle. First because that could treat the problem as it did to me

    i have torn yet repaired achilles bilaterally. i am still active in sports that require ankle stability. so could I tape for achilles tendonitis and ankle stability? Is there a hybrid between the two.

    Where is the empirical proof this stuff works? I have some minor Achilles stiffness in my left but had Achilles surgery in my right recently. K-Tape didn't do anything I have noticed that would relieve or help stiffness. This seems a Placebo at best.
