Foot taping for plantar fasciitis

This way of taping the foot sometimes helps with plantar fasciitis. Here are the steps involved, from left to right. 1) Wrap a strip of tape around the foot, at the level of the ball of the foot. 2) Wrap a second strip of tape around the heel, starting just below the pinky toe, around the sides of the heel, and back up to the first strip of tape. 3) Wrap a third strip of tape around the heel, starting just below the pinky toe, like you did in step 2. This time, circle the heel and wrap the tape in a criss-cross, so that it ends just below the big toe. 4) Repeat step 3. The tape does not need to align perfectly. The tape can stay in place for one week.
