Foot taping for plantar fasciitis

A technique for taping the foot to treat plantar fasciitis is illustrated. The 4 panels show the technique from left to right.

Panel 1: A strip of adhesive tape (the metatarsal strip) is applied in a circumferential fashion at the level of the metatarsal heads.

Panel 2: A strip of tape is started at the lateral aspect of the plantar surface of the metatarsal strip, is applied diagonally across the sole, around the heel, along the lateral border of the foot, and ends on the metatarsal strip.
