Plantar Fasciitis - Allergic to Strapping tape? Try using an underwrap!

Allergic to strapping tapes? Don't worry...Lots of people are. Pick up a roll of "hypafix" or "fixomull" from your local pharmacy to use as an underwrap before applying the strapping tape. Lots of individuals are allergic to the adhesive in strapping tapes. Hypafix and Fixomull provide protection from the strapping tape adhesive. This video shows one of the best strapping methods for offloading and splinting an injured Plantar Fascia ligament. This technique is called "Low-Dye". If you suffer from Plantar Fasciitis (mistakenly called Heel Spurs), heel pain or arch pain, then this technique will greatly splint and decrease your pain and assist with healing. The Truth About Your Heel Pain Plantar Fasciitis, also known as heel pain and commonly mistaken to occur because of a heel spur, is a musculoskeletal condition causing pain under the heel or into the inner arch of the foot. This condition is also commonly mistaken to occur due to excessive impact or a bruise to the heel. However, it is actually caused by a mechanical over-stretching of the fibrous tissue in the arch known as the Plantar Fascia. The Plantar Fascia is a ligament that supports the arch of the foot. Heel pain typically evolves slowly over time and usually begins as a niggle that progressively gets worse. However, heel pain can also develop suddenly. People of all ages can be affected, but most commonly it occurs during the 4th decade of life onwards. Those that have a higher incidence are individuals who have standing occupations, those that are overweight and those who are involved in regular strenuous exercise. It also commonly occurs in those who increase their exercise intensity suddenly and rapidly. Unlike many overuse musculoskeletal injuries, plantar fasciitis typically fails to improve with time and rest. Why? The reason is actually very logical and simple - it is almost impossible to stop standing and walking. With conditions such as a tennis elbow or rotator cuff injuries, it is generally possible to compensate and use the other limb or to completely rest and immobilise the injured area and keep functioning. With our foot…this is unfortunately not possible. It’s like applying tension to a torn rubber band…the tear keeps getting bigger and the rubber band eventually snaps. Most injuries have a compounding healing affect that can occur with repeated days and weeks of selective rest, this compounding does not happen with the foot. Do you wake up and the first few steps you take you experience extreme tenderness in the bottom of your heel? Most people suffering from plantar fasciitis experience this “first step pain”. What is actually happening? Well, internally, the body is attempting to heal the ligamentous structure you have injured, the plantar fascia, which runs parallel to the sole of your foot. This healing is like an internal scab but is unfortunately not yet strong enough to hold under any pressure and is instantly torn when the full force of our bodies weight is placed through it when we stand! Ouch! A simple analogy is if you ripped off a skin scab each day – obviously the graze won’t heal as it is consistently being aggravated. In the same way, the healing of the structure under the foot is aggravated every time you stand on it. Furthermore, the inflammation that results causes swelling under the heel that is compressed when standing also increasing pain. If you find that you still develop a rash or itchiness, even when using the underwrap, then, you should avoid using strapping tapes altogether. Remove the tape immediately and cease using them. You will need to rely on other products to achieve the splinting effect eg orthotic sandals, compression sleeves, plantar fascia splints. http://www.myfootdr.com.sg https://www.myfootdr.com.sg/shop/
