gout of the foot

gout of the foot

[music] hi, chris harper here with makayla, we're here to demonstrate an application forthe ball of the foot. this may be any pain of the forefoot, justbefore the toes. some causes may be from overuse, leading toinflammation, excessive running on hard surfaces, poor fittingor worn shoes, weight gain, or nerve issues. kt tape helps treat this condition by reducingpressure over the painful area. for this application, we're going to actuallygo ahead and cross your leg,

and we're going to actually take our firstpiece of tape, and we're going to fold that in half. what we're going to do is cut rounded cornerson the folded end to produce two smaller pieces of tape. the reason why we cut rounded corners is sothat the corners do not get caught on clothing, or socks, or things like that. so for this first part, we're going to twistand tear the backer paper on the tape, peeling that back. you're going to grab the tape with your thumbs,and applying nice even pressure,

we're going to apply this at eighty percentstretch just behind the toes. applying this down, and as we apply thoseends down we're going to slightly curve the tape up towards the ankle. and we're applying this anchors with absolutelyno stretch on those. great, we're going to rub that on there alittle bit. for our second piece, twist and tear the backer paper, peeling that paper back, and we're going to just handle the tape justholding on to the paper,

avoiding touching the adhesive part of thetape. we're going to apply this piece just behind,and slightly overlapping that first piece with eighty percent stretch, and then we're going to lay the anchors downon the ends with absolutely no stretch. so just taking that paper off and just layingthat right down. okay, and for our last strip, we're going to tear a full strip off the roll. we're going to twist and tear the backer paperdown near the end of the tape, down near the logo, creating an anchor point.

we're going to place the foot so that thetoes are in a little bit of extension, so pulling back on those toes. we're goingto place that anchor with absolutely no stretch just behind the toes, and then we're going to peel the paper backingoff, leaving a little bit on the end to hang on to, so you don't touch the adhesivepart of the tape. we're going to pull that tape back with aboutfifty percent stretch on this. so we're going to lay that down right overthe heel, and up behind the heel, and then the very end of the tape we're goingto take that paper off with absolutely no tension on the end,

and just lay that down, and now for the partthat's bowstringing over the arch, you're going to just tap that straight downto the arch, and then just rub that on there. great, we'll get a little friction and a littleheat. that creates adhesion to the skin. excellent, looks good. some helpful tips before applying this. cleanthe skin very well, removing any lotions or skin oils. you canalways wear socks to sleep if you roll around a lot while you're sleeping. that can catch on sheetsand peel the tape of prematurely.

some complementary treatments may includerest, ice, anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen,appropriately fitting footwear, light massage and stretching. please seek care if you're experiencing swelling,or extreme pain or discoloration. for more information, please see our websiteat www. kttape.com
