How to tape the big toe (MTP joint)

Taping for an inflamed or sprained big toe, to help improve activity tolerance.

[@KatelynStapleton1989]

Oh my word! Thank you SO MUCH! I fell down the stairs over a week ago and thought I broke my toe/foot. I had x-rays and they said it's all fine but it has been hurting bad since...I am babying it so much to walk and it still hurts with every step I take and every time I move it or something touches it. I just taped it like this and I IMMEDIATELY felt better! I stood up and put weight on it and it already felt 10x better, as though an extra week of proper healing had happened in the amount of time it took to wrap! I am so happy now that I will be able to walk with much less pain!

[@EricV206]

Has it healed fully yet? My girlfriend fell down the stairs too and has the same issues. We’re not sure if it’s a fracture but hopefully taping it will help with the healing process

[@sanpat2220]

How are you doing now?

[@hassanhassu3611]

Tapa name?

[@amberknemett1165]

Thank you very much.. I injured the big too on my right foot an hour ago. Now I know what to do. Your video was really helpful to me,

[@brennenscarborough2088]

It’s the year of our Lord 2022 and this video is spot on. Toe and pain area feel so much better just after a few hours of wearing it. Thanks for sharing it!

[@DepDawg]

I have capsulitis of the big toe because of hallux limitus. This helps with the pain by keeping it more stable.

[@DancerciseIn]

which tape as been used in the video...what is it called and which company makes this tape...

[@thitsureyadetvongsa344]

I know this is a year ago comment but I am glad to help either way. It is just regular athletic tape where you can find on Amazon. I do not know unfortunately what type of the brand it is called but there is all kinds of type. I am a ATEP major so this is how I know :p

[@rayskitten78]

Looks like dressing tape

[@anyachauhan1784]

It’s a rigid tape

This was so helpful, thanks so much for sharing!!

[@ColleenKitchen]

How long should you go before you redo it and how long should you have to do it altogether?

[@thesonhaslife]

Can this be used on a fractured big toe ?

[@hip9594]

If my sore toe got yanked around like that I wouldn't be just laying there n

[@vuxxa8481]

His is sprarined not sore if it was sore it would be a whole diff story edit: i know its sprained because hes at a doctors office and because he said its inflamed

[@ILoveSlippers43]

I banged my toe stretching on my floor. And I went to urgent care the other day and the dr didn’t even tape me up. I have no fracture thank God, but I have sprained ligament in my big right toe with bruising. (Mine is sore too cuz of bruising, u wouldn’t like my toe touched like that! 😁) So they were going to give me turf toe inserts but were $30 and I weren’t covered by insurance-couldn’t afford that so I couldn’t get those. But I’ve been using KT tape for other things and was like well I’ll look up and use that or sports tape instead. But it’s funny if I couldn’t get the turf toe inserts shouldn’t the dr have taped it? Dumb 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@byAlexiithonatzu]

Thank you, I'm fixing my toe right now, gonna update you later, it's 12am and I can't go to the doctor

[@randomvidz8742]

How is it?

[@randomvidz8742]

My pain is still hurting after 2 weeks

[@byAlexiithonatzu]

@@randomvidz8742 I´m good now, i have to add that i didn't put weight on my feet for 2 weeks straight, i work from home maybe that helped me too

[@byAlexiithonatzu]

tbh i just try to to move it and it hurts a little lol, but not as bad as before, still healing

[@francescrane9837]

I have a broken big toe below two joints and it has been recommended that I buddy wrap the big toe to second toe and use a low sqaure toe bootie. What size and type of tape are you are using?

[@elle-fk8jr]

do i wear this in my sleep as well?

[@qu13t_st4r]

I broke my toe at the knuckle part and how he brought that toe up I would be crying in pain😂 even tho it’s not broken for them

[@natalie123410001]

I have Arthritis in my big toe, will this work for boxing training.

[@carll1962]

Excellent. Thanks. Feels better already.

[@meganaugustus2659]

what type of tape is this ? can i use crepe bandage in the same way?

[@TheBelilu]

Could I use this for a fractured big toe???

[@rhysclanford-roberts2091]

I feel your pain 😂

[@InsurgentFrog]

@@rhysclanford-roberts2091 I also feel the pain

[@Ribbonnest]

I also feel your pain rn I’m on day 16 it sucks

[@anyachauhan1784]

I feel your pin

[@lorrie2878]

Holy moley I did my own and it's a mess compared to this! Too bad I will have to go to the store for wide tape when I am not supposed to walk...

[@jazzy777]

For tape type queries- use kinesiology tape.

[@kittys5375]

This looks great, I need some foot tape asap 😎 well done my friend. 👌

[@sammygonzales5081]

Should i just copy this but apply it to my toe next to the big toe? Its bruised and can't really bend it don't think it's broken just hurts to walk

[@Plazmageco]

look up buddy taping

[@tumeks32.4]

Is this good if you have dislocated your big toe before and looking to get back into rugby again?

Has this helped anyone with sesamoiditis, I have chronic sesamoiditis from a bipartite sesamoid

[@deanna314]

Hi there, I have the same thing.. have been suffering for 6 months so far but it's gotten a little better. How long have you had it?

[@Shawn_DC]

@@deanna314 I've had pain on/off for 3years, finally got a diagnosis for it last year. I pretty much have to ice it every night to stay on top of it. I also noticed if I eat like crap the pain comes back with a vengeance.

[@deanna314]

@@Shawn_DC maybe yours could be gout possibly?

[@Shawn_DC]

@@deanna314 I've been tested 3 times for gout, 3 x-rays, and an mri. Finally got the answer, bipartite sesamoid. I also have extremely high arches on my feet. Having a poor diet increases inflammation in your body and my inflammation is my sesamoid.

[@MatthewsTrueShow]

Is this recommended for serious "turf toe"

[@diegen2364]

what type of tape is that

[@danielgeinosky9339]

I have the same question. I think it's zinc oxide rigid strapping tape.

[@SasssyRita]

I use rock tape

[@Dr-789]

Good ...but if u have sticking on TCP joint all around then why u have have huge band of sticking on foot proximal to joint...? And why not to use hard plint instead of sticking which has can cause irritation and excuriation of skin ? Thanx

[@ferngalindez6438]

Nice work. How long does the tape stay on.

[@rayskitten78]

I had to keep mine on for four weeks,it was checked after 2 weeks

[@davidclarke73]

What about a second Big Toe? Same procedure 🤔🤔🤔

[@theassasinboy13]

Could I play rugby with this on

[@jenniferlindsey2015]

I’ve been getting in my 10k steps/day and with increasing aggravation daily, after 8 days, my Big Toe now has a swollen joint at the base of it. Should I do this before every walk? With COVID, it’s near impossible to get to see a health professional, so I’m self-diagnosing Arthritis given my age and family history. What should I do?

[@randomvidz8742]

Unfortunate you didn't get a reply but how are you doing 9 months later

[@shyanacooper6701]

Could have had a stress fracture from so much walking. How you doing now?

[@Katieyogatarot]

Ok if anyone was that rough with my injured toe while taping it, I'd kick them in the groin. As I sit here with a freshly injured big toe, throbbing, it hurts to watch how much he's pushing and pulling on the toe!! Lol. Oh I can't bear 12 hrs in the ER for an X-ray esp during a damn pandemic.

[@condor2378]

Yes! My toe is currently throbbing as I've strained it, and I was flinching when he was moving that about!

[@grantgold7684]

The person in the video is bot injured though

[@swaira2]

Its not hurting while remove??

[@emmadavis4407]

I agree with your comments about how rough and unrealistic this video was spot on !!!

[@newsideas9892]

How long i should use bondages

[@bmags4188]

I’ll be honest I just taped it to the next toe to be straight but I’ll probably do this next

[@aminah761]

Thanks 😊

[@erickv8684]

This should help me with the use of medication. I'm ready for my 10 hour shift tomorrow .. yea.yea

[@hassanhassu3611]

Tape name plz?

[@nguyanh1559]

Sir , After taping are we able to train again immediately ?

[@jacklawford6452]

I heard somewhere I should do something like this before tricking so I don't injure myself. is that true?

[@KieraTheFangirl]

Jack's Knack let me know how it went bc I'm about to go tape my sprain and tumble

Can u do this with bandage

[@annaleedaughterofyhwh7767]

My daughter just sent this to me because I took a spill jumping over the puppy. My big toe was crushed during the fall and it hurts like the dickens! There is no need for me to see a doctor because if it is broken, and I highly doubt that, all they’re going to do is wrap it anyway. However!!! If I had gone in, and someone was repeatedly squeezing my toe, and whipping my foot around like this, we would have a problem 😵/😆 I am considering investing in medical tape stocks after having watched this, though. (And girllll, trim those claws!)

[@BigBen1994]

You know this is pre covid-19, but I would still be wearing gloves touching other people's feet 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@xsavalos]

A lot of tape

[@emmadavis4407]

This is NOT a good demonstration… Your touch is waaaaay tooooo rough to be taping a real broken toe! That tape is too tight and too much! Manipulation too much - Circulation too little - No thank you -

[@lindarobinson1821]

That will not be pretty in a sandal 😂😂

[@byerenny]

When you have foot pain on that level, pretty doesn't even come into the equation.
