The second strip goes around the metatarsal heads.http://www.nismat.org/traincor/achilles_tape2.jpgWith the foot in a position of slight plantar flexion, measure strips of tape from anchor to anchor.http://www.nismat.org/traincor/achilles_tape3.jpg
http://www.nismat.org/traincor/achilles_tape4.jpgOn a table, cross strips to form an 'X,' using 6-8 strips.http://www.nismat.org/traincor/achilles_tape5.jpgTake the completed series of strips and place it from anchor to anchor.http://www.nismat.org/traincor/achilles_tape6.jpgFinally, re-fasten the anchors to keep the support in place.http://www.nismat.org/traincor/achilles_tape7.jpgCompleted taping procedure.http://www.nismat.org/traincor/achilles_tape8.jpgThis will help restrict dorsiflexion and absorb some of the stress seen by the Achilles tendon.
