Achilles-Tendon Taping
The Achilles tendon is the largest tendon in
the body, joining the lower leg
gastrocnemius and soleus muscles to the
heel bone (calcaneus).
Most ruptures of the Achilles tendon occur
with the contraction of the calf muscles.
Taping is an effective way to relieve strain
and overstretching.

Circumferential elastic taping is a common
method for providing some relief, giving
gentle compression that relieves some of the
discomfort of MTSS.
