I started using a Hydrocollator heat pad to warm the gastrocnemius then the stretching was more effective. I also roll the arches. My Achilles are nearly healed.
I am a Massage Therapist and this is my professional opinion and should be taken as such. Speak to a physician for more details. Give it a two weeks to month of taping. Keeping the tape on for about 5 days and giving a couple days without taping . Do corrective excercises, ice, and take good care of the issue. I've taped clients for an excess of three months. It tends to take longer if your clients push harder because the tape makes the issue feel better or if the damage is more severe it will take longer to heal. LISTEN TO YOUR BODY and don't use the tape as a cure and if it hurts take it easy. The chances of it coming back has lots of variables. What are you doing that is exacerbating the issue. Are you keeping up with your corrective excercises. Are you icing when sore Are you stretching? Always remember the tape is a support system and it can be used for an extended period of time for as long as you want but it won't fix the issue just by putting it on.
The technique is only one tool in your toolbox and it can help reduce the patients pain so i wouldn't use the tape generally on its own as the technique is used in combination with other therapy modalities. regards JG
This is the best taping method I've found! Well done!
Thanks. regards JG
