Thank you so much for this video. I am totally sold on the tape since my PT helped with my trigger finger. I'm 49 and in the last year have had both of these conditions arise. Much appreciated.

[@enoina]

Thank you for the feedback. I am very pleased this has helped you.

[@geewhiz8302]

Finally some relief. It was a little difficult doing it myself but i got it done. Make sure you don’t cut your triangles too big. I made that mistake 2x lol. Oh also make sure the area is clean and dry. I used a alcohol wipe to make sure I didn’t have any moisturizer on my foot. Thanks for this!!

[@Arian0027]

Wow, this is amazing, a little over a year ago I broke my second metatarsal at work, a blunt trauma due to tripping over exposed cables. I was in an air-boot for 8 weeks and then I discovered my toe wouldn’t straighten out and I had a huge bump under the ball of my foot 🤦‍♀️ I’ll be honest with Covid going on, I opted out of PT, and they wanted to send me an hour away for special inserts which I ended up getting Covid and canceled. Beyond frustrated that I had to work with light duty throughout and in pain, I wasn’t feeling it. I am now looking for work at home because my job was management and required a lot of walking which I liked but now I’m laying in bed, foot elevated and throbbing and burning underneath where that bump is. I will try this method and hopefully find some relief. Thank you for sharing.

[@enoina]

Thank you 🙏🏻 Please keep me posted on how you do with this

Hi ergasia PT! I have been trying out your taping technique for a few weeks, and I have been doing my usual activities, running swimming, I even a half marathon + 10km more on the same day. I think from what I have experienced that your taping technique does provide mechanical stress relief. It does need to be put on just right or it can be too painful (I am a more severe case than usual MN) and it's hard by myself. I have tried days taping alternative feet to experiment if pain results with and without the tape during activities ( I have two defined neuromas - one per side) and I have been using it without the extra band going across and under. I have been able to swim and run with less muscular tension and stress, it obviously doesn't resolve the typical 'nerve pain' but it does give my feet muscles less epileptic/spasm type problems that result from having neuropathy. I would put up a photo of my taped feet but I can't. The tape is great and lasts for about a week even when showering and swimming on the daily. Thank you for this video you have helped improve my quality of life, having peripheral neuropathy and moretons neuroma this severe can make life pretty poor. I might look into dry needling like you recommended when I can afford some better medical type care. Eventually the surgical removal is my goal. I hope this gives some insight to other MN people who have severe pain issues.

Thanks for the video. How do I tape for Morton's Neuroma between the 2nd & 3rd + 3rd & 4th as I have the neuroma in both locations on the same foot.

[@alexg5513]

The skin between our toes are very delicate and soft and having such super sticky tape stuck between the toes does it not irritate the skin as taping is usually done for many, many months? Last thing I need is yet another problem to fix.

[@enoina]

Rogene, pick the area that hurts the worst and tape. It's so rare to have TWO defined neuromas but tape the worst one. There is also an app on here for great toe. I'd suggest taping great toe and neuroma to decompress the nerve from more than one angle. Helpful?

[@sexygaaraofthedesert]

Would this work for pain in the joint of the toe? Like If I had a stress fracture along the 2nd and 3rd toe joints?

[@jondangar2910]

I think I may have a neuroma (it feels like a stone bruise but while running, I can feel the pain shoot into my second toe next to the big one). While I haven't had too much pain lately, last night's 12 mile run, I felt it bad in my right foot. I do have hammer toes on both feet. I was wondering, would you suggest that I use the method above to help alleviate pain on my metatarsals? More importantly, if I do tape my feet, can I run on them this weekend in a half marathon trail race or will it be too bothersome for running and is only for recovery? Thanks so much.

[@daynaluzuriaga710]

Does reflexology will help ? As I have such an uncomfortable feeling on my foot and I believed that it is also MORTON NEOROMA, BUT I am on my foot almost more than 10 hrs every day, and I always dreamed of having a reflexology to help the blood flow after almost being on my feet for long hrs every day

[@annacollie5496]

Wow I like the idea of this. I have two severe MN (one each foot) and aside from running I also get pain from swimming, so taping this way basically lifts the muscle off of the nerve and preventing aggravation? I am going to try it honestly and see how it goes in the water. I have rocktape I hope that is the same stuff. I can't find any health pofessionals who actually have any experience in successful treatment/management. I would like the operation but I can't afford it for a while. the day I can afford the operation will be a joyful day for me. I have experienced the neuropathic pains from MN since I was about 7 years old.

[@enoina]

Anna Collie Rock tape will do just fine. Please let me know how this works for you. Another thing that you may consider is depending on what state you live in you might find a physical therapist who is trained in dry needling. You can actually have them dry needled the intrinsic muscles which are essentially the muscles between the toes that are also inflamed a little bit that inflammation can actually make that MN exacerbated a little bit. You might try that in conjunction with putting the tape on your toe. Please let me know how it works for you.

[@annacollie5496]

@@enoina thank you so much for replying! I will look into dry needling where I live! :) I take a lot of pain medication every day to fight this horrible pain. Will reply soon.

[@dominiquerasso1334]

does the pain have to be in ball of foot? most of mine is actually in the second toe, but usually only occurs when running longer milage.

[@enoina]

Dominique Rasso pain can vary in presentation. But if between toes this can certainly help

Sorry, but what kind of tape do I have to use? Where do I find it? Thanks a lot! (I'm writing from Italy, btw)

[@enoina]

pit2ryan3 I use KTTAPE which does have a European market. I suggest their KT TAPE Extreme.

[@pit2ryan3]

ergasia PT - Many thanks for the tip! I'll try it for sure, this thing is incredibly painful, I never thought that a part of my body could hurt so much... Have you solved the problem (or got some relief) at the end? May I use this tape even with a swollen foot?

[@enoina]

***** you can definitely use the tape on something that is swollen because of the tape will literally left the skin to help reduce the swelling you speak of. With this specific condition you can help to reduce the inflammation coming off of the nerve for a while. In my experience with this weather I was taping at an event or taping one of my patients with this condition you can certainly reduce it

Don’t like the way the piece that runs east to west doesn’t allow the foot to spread.

I'd be very interested to know how you believe this taping technique works at a tissue stress mechanical level

I believe it does from testing it out :)

Ma dove si comprano scusate non capisco il cinese mi scriveye in Italiano?

[@cathyrowellmc8926]

What does that taping do for Morton's neuroma? I didn't see any stretch on tape at all

[@enoina]

That’s actually an excellent question! What it does is very literally lift the skin which intern will lift the fascion and intern lift pressure off of the nerve from between the toes. One of the misconceptions of the use of kinesiology tape is that because it stretches you should use stretch when taping. In fact the idea of stretch is to allow normality of range of motion.

[@cathyrowellmc8926]

I Will try taping tomorrow...hope it works thank you

Não sei se você já comprou, mas encontra fácil em lojas que vendem equipamentos para fisioterapia e reabilitação. Se sua cidade for pequena e não houver uma loja dessas, as lojas maiores vendem pela internet. Procure por kinesio tape ou kinesio band.

[@DY3VERSITY]

Would his also work well for metatarsalgia?

[@enoina]

Yes, dependent on how high up foot

[@DY3VERSITY]

***** Thanks! Also, when you do the second piece around the foot, do you want to cover the balls of the feet or just behind them?

[@enoina]

Depends on the angles of the toes but as typically I look at covering them.
