Low-Dye Taping (Arch)
Low-dye taping helps to improve foot
biomechanics by keeping the athlete from over
pronating (foot rotating inward). If low-dye taping gives significant relief, it is a
strong indication that functional orthotics may be
appropriate.
This procedure does not always provide relief. If
there is no relief after two to three procedures,
low-dye taping should be discontinued,

Turf Toe Taping
Turf toe, technically called a
metatarsalphalangeal joint (MPJ) sprain,
can occur after a forceful hyperextension(upward bending) of the big toe, causing
damage to the ligaments and joint capsule.
Taping can help stabilize the MPJ of the bigtoe, keeping it from hyper-extending.

Achilles-Tendon Taping
The Achilles tendon is the largest tendon inthe body, joining the lower leg
gastrocnemius and soleus muscles to theheel bone (calcaneus).
Most ruptures of the Achilles tendon occurwith the contraction of the calf muscles.
Taping is an effective way to relieve strainand overstretching.

Hyperextension of the elbow is normally
the result of falling on an outstretched arm

prevents hyper mobility, a body part from
moving beyond its normal range of motion.
