Taping achilles tendon – tips
Step by step tape tutorial
Start with the blue tape strip first. Tear the tape approximately in the middle and attach it as a base to the calcaneus (heel bone). To do this, remove the paper from the bottom side.
Position the foot in maximum dorsal extension. Bring the lower part of the tape toward the toes with high tension (50%). Reduce stretch from the arch of the foot (25%).
Apply the end of the tape up to the base joint (toes) without tension. Rub over the tape to activate it.
Pull the tape in the direction of the calf and apply it with maximum tension in the area of the achilles tendon (75%).
Reduce tension to apply the tape laterally along the achilles tendon.
Apply approximately 50 percent stretch to the tendon area.
Apply the end of the tape without tension.
This is how the final application of the blue tape looks like.
Muscle technique
Take the pink tape strip and apply the base to the calcaneus (heel bone). Apply the first rein with a light stretch along the side of the calf.
Attach the second tape rein in the same way (25% stretch).
You're done with the pink tape.
Stirrup
Apply the base of the black tape strip to the plantar calcaneus (bottom of the heel bone) without tension.
Apply the corresponding tension (25%)to the two ends and fix them well.
Et voilà! The application is completed.
