Your hallux valgus taping can relieve pain and take pressure off your foot. cut an approx. 30 cm long piece of elastic tape and cut the ends rounded. this prevents the tape from coming loose or peeling off. place the tape on the dorsum of the foot, about 1 2 cm in front of the metatarsophalangeal joint of the big toe. 1. strip. apply the anchor without stretch to the inside of your big toe and rub gently. apply the tape with 50% stretch across the inside of your foot. flex your foot upwards and wrap the tape around your achilles tendon with 25% stretch. apply the end of the tape without stretch just below the outside of your ankle. Corrective taping of hallux valgus in middle aged adults showed a negative effect on balance when walking or climbing stairs, which may increase fall risk. jeon et al. reported an improvement in hallux valgus angle and pain with 15 taping treatments in 15 participants during a four week period. Bunion taping step 1. using the 1.5 inch nonstretch tape, apply 2 anchors to the middle of the foot. spread the toes when securing the anchor. this simulates weight bearing so the foot is not constricted when the athlete stands up. using the 1 inch tape, apply two anchors, one overlapping the other to the big toe. ensure these are not too tight!.

Glue the second rein around the toe as well (without the pull) and glue the end back onto the base of the toe joint. lastly, apply the i strip over the metatarsophalangeal joint of the toe with maximum traction. finally, rub the tape again, this reinforces the adhesive strength of the tape application.
