How to tape heel pain?

Athletic tape can get quite expensive if you use it daily. Instead of buying rolls of tape every week, invest once in a pair of silicone heel cups or orthopedic slippers. It costs around 300 to 500 rupees and works out much cheaper and more practical in the long run.

My heel pain actually started when my thyroid levels went completely out of whack, which caused joint inflammation. While taping your heel can give you temporary relief, please go get a basic thyroid and vitamin D test done to see if there is an underlying issue.

Ah, waking up and feeling like you stepped on a nail! Welcome to middle age, my friend. I tape my heel in a nice 'L' shape every morning just so I can walk to the kitchen for my morning coffee without crying. Definitely try it, it keeps the joints together!

For heel pain, I use a 'low-Dye' taping technique with rigid tape to lock the arch and relieve heel pressure. If your doctor clears you for light workouts, this taping will let you do some low-impact cycling or swimming without placing too much stress on the heel.
