How to tape for Posterior Tibialis Tendonitis

This is what I do. It works for me.
I use Kinesio Tape, which stretches lengthwise only.
1. Use Kinesio Tape. Cut 2 strips about 4 or 5 squares long
1. Use Kinesio Tape. Cut 2 strips about 4 or 5 "squares" long		 2. Peel about half the backing off and affix to the outside of the midfoot and pull across the arch
2. Peel about half the backing off and affix to the outside of the midfoot and pull across the arch		 3. firmly pull over the posterior tib tendon, just behind the ankle bone
3. firmly pull over the posterior tib tendon, just behind the ankle bone		 4. Wrap around and affix above outside (lateral) ankle, smooth out. Tape should be snug but not restrictive.

Thanks so much. Instant relief with this method. Holds rhe entire area tight but still able to walk with no pain.

Good taping trick, combined with a double tape under the arch crossed over the top of the foot wrapped around the front of the ankle works like a charm.

This totally worked for me. Remember that tendon injuries take a long time to heal anyway. Rest and ice and stretch, but this taping helped take the pressure off of the tendon attachment site during workouts (I wore it for intense cardio-high impact stuff and for long walks with the dog). I've had injuries before and this taping technique really helped speed recovery.

I dont think it works...because you stop the bleeding...it is not free...you put frictions on this muscle..it cannot be without of pain.....

I have had this problem for over two years. The only thing that really helped was total rest, but every time I walked for any distance, I'd undo the healing and be back to pain. Recently I tried Nature's Way Bone, Flesh & Cartilage Herbal Ointment. I am totally amazed at the results. The pain is almost totally gone, and I can walk without suffering the results. I've used one jar and have more on order. I will never be without this stuff.
