Common symptoms of the foot

Pain on the outside of the ankle

Pain on the outside (outside) of the foot or pain on the inside (inside) of the foot is generally caused by bone or soft tissue injuries, and arthritis may be the cause of pain on the outside of the foot. The solution is to use tape to support the ankle and relieve pain to promote recovery. For detailed tutorials, please refer to “How to Use Kinesiology Tape to Treat Lateral Ankle Pain“.

Heel-Achilles tendon pain problem

Achilles tendon disease is usually Achilles tendonitis, which refers to inflammation of the Achilles tendon connecting the calf muscle and the heel bone. Pain may occur at the attachment of the Achilles tendon. To deal with Achilles tendonitis, Achilles tendon taping should be used to support and strengthen the foot and Achilles tendon, reduce pressure, and promote recovery. See “How to Use Kinesiology Tape to Treat Achilles Tendonitis” for a detailed tutorial.

Pain in the Plantar of the Foot

Conditions that cause pain in the plantar of the foot are often categorized based on whether the pain is in the ball of the foot (forefoot), arch of the foot (midfoot), or heel (hindfoot). It is also often associated with plantar fasciitis.

Pain in the Arch of the Foot

Arch pain is often associated with flat feet, and the absence of an arch can cause more stress on the foot structures (including bones, ligaments, and tendons), leading to arch pain.

Heel Pain

Heel pain is a common condition caused by various factors, often related to strain or injury. Using tape will help relieve pain from persistently damaged heels and restore normal function. See “How to Use Kinesiology Tape to Treat Heel Pain” for a detailed tutorial.

How Kinesiology Tape Works on the Foot?

Relieves pain: Foot kinesiology tape can lift the skin, reduce pressure on nerves (e.g., plantar fasciitis, metatarsalgia)—triggers gating mechanisms to block pain signals.

Arch and joint support: Foot kinesiology tape provides dynamic support for collapsed or overpronated arches. Stabilizes joints (e.g., bunions, turf toes) without restricting movement.

Reduces swelling: Foot kinesiology tape can promote lymphatic drainage, relieve edema after injury or post-surgery swelling.

Improves gait: Foot kinesiology tape can promote correct foot mechanics, reduce ankle/knee stress.
