PhysicalTherapistFor peroneal tendinitis, KT taping can provide support and reduce strain on the tendons during activity
Prepare the Tape
Cut two strips of KT tape one long enough to go from the outside of your foot just under the ankle along the side of the lower leg toward the knee, and a shorter stabilizing strip.
Apply the First Strip
Start at the outside of your foot near the base of the 5th metatarsal.
With slight stretch about 2550, run the tape along the outside of your ankle, following the path of the peroneal tendons, and up the outside of your lower leg.
Rub gently to activate the adhesive.
Apply the Second Support Strip
Place horizontally around your ankle, starting slightly in front of the ankle bone, wrapping around the back with light stretch to provide extra support.
This helps reduce ankle inversion and supports tendon stability.
Always make sure the tape is applied on clean, dry skin and avoid excessive tension to prevent skin irritation.
Since youre a dancer with Os trigonum, its also important to monitor pain and consider supportive footwear or orthotics.
For the best taping method, consult a certified athletic trainer or physical therapist who can show you the right technique for your movement needs.
