Navicular Lift
McConnell Technique
Stability and deceleration
of pronation moment
during stance
Similar to a chopat for
the foot
Step 1: No stretch from
lateral dorsum to
navicular tubercle
Step2: Maximal stretch from
tubercle to anteriolateral
tibia

Mortons Neuroma
Space correction to relieve pain
from Mortons neuroma /
Metatarsalgia
Step 1: Place with maximal stretch
across site of most pain (usually
between 2nd & 3rd or 3rd & 4th MTP
on plantar surface, but can be used
on dorsal surface if neuroma is on
the superior aspect)
Step2: Lie down ends without stretch

Peroneal Facilitation
Kinesio Technique
Lateral Ankle Sprain
Peroneal Strain
Mod to max stretch from
lateral fibula to 1st MET
(longus) or 5th MET
(brevis)
Tape with ankle in IV & DF
For active control of
peroneals for lateral
stability to correct overpronation
Great for ATF sprains with
navicular lift and/or EV
stirrup

Eversion Stirrup
Biomechanical Correction
Athletic Taping Technique
Lateral ankle sprain
Can be used with peroneal
facilitation and/or
navicular lift
Step 1: begin at the medial
calcanceus and lie tape
down on plantar aspect of
the calcaneus
15
Posterior Tibialis
Kinesio Technique
Medial ankle sprain
Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome
Tape with moderate
stretch (facilitation) or
minimal stretch
(inhibition) in EV and DF
16
Tibialis Anterior
Kinesio Technique
Facilitate DF
Inhibit with space
correction for shin
splints
With foot in EV and
PF, mod to max for
facilitation and
minimal to no stretch
for inhibition
17
Tarsal Tunnel
Space Correction
Space correction of tarsal
tunnel
Can be used with
posterior tibialis
facilitation and/or
navicular lift.
Step 1: Stretch maximmally
over tarsal tunnel, no
stretch on ends
Step2: Can repeat 2-4 times
in different directions

Taping Toes
As with fingers, tape for what you want to accomplish
Extension of DIP maximal stretch dorsal joint
Normal motion of PIP no stretch
Flexion of DIP maximal stretch volar joint
Collateral ligament protection / Unload one joint X
strips on either side of joint, anchor the ends
Decrease strain on flexor tendon tape with
moderate stretch on volar surface of digit up muscle to
origin
Immobilize a digit Buddy Tape two fingers
together with two 1 strips
Space correction over entrapment site
21
Edema / Lymphedema
Kinesio Technique
Edema Reduction
For acute ankle sprains or post-surgical foot/ankle.
Anchor distally and lie strips without stretch around
edema area without stretch.
