Say Hello to my 10 yr old Crew’s foot. He is a competitive soccer player who came in with heel pain that is restricting him from playing a full game.
I applied KT tape to the heel of his foot to provide gentle support and reduce strain on the plantar fascia — the thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot. When this area becomes irritated, as with plantar fasciitis or plantar bursitis, it can cause significant heel pain and inflammation.
The tape works by slightly lifting the skin, which helps improve circulation, decrease pressure on irritated tissues, and support the arch and heel during movement. This allows the foot to stay active with less discomfort, while giving the affected tissues a better environment to heal and recover naturally.
We are doing this every week while he is on a rehab program for his heel pain.
