The pathology I have had some of the best and most astounding results with (believe it or not) is the symptomatic HAV. As far as anecdotal evidence is concerned, in the last few weeks I have taped 7 patients bunions, and 6 of them absolutely loved it (one of which reported he could play 5-a-side football without pain the following morning for the first time in years). The one patient who didn't like it took it off as she experienced a cramp like sensation in Abductor Hallucis.

Not exactly how I do it (I don't find that the third piece of tape [purple in this vid] is necessary), nor the brand of tape I prefer/use, but pretty close and gives you an idea. Will try and record one myself if I get the chance.Last edited by a moderator: Sep 22, 2016 -
Hi Ian
What do you think sets rock tape apart from the other brands?
I have tried a few others not for bunions but other problems with limited success so remain scepticle, haven't tried rock tape as yet though
Cheers -
In my experience RockTape is far more 'robust' (if thats the right word to use?). Although most of the brands will all claim to stay in situ for 3-5 days and easily withstand showering I have found that the only one which achieves this with lower limb taping is the RockTape. Having tried several of the different brands on myself I can confirm that it feels different to the others too. Not sure (not looked into) why.
Definately keen for others to try it on HAV and see if they get as good results - I'd be really interested to hear. Certainly not suggesting it replaces first line treatments, but it's perfect for those patients who have exhausted all other conservative strategies and are reluctant for a surgical referral. -
Thanks so much for passing that along.

And what is it that you think this tape is influencing: The hallux abduction angle? The subjective symptoms?
-
Psychological influences aside, I wonder if the tape is altering intra-articular kinetics (reduces internal abduction moment). But I'm guessing.
I've been mulling over the design for a small study, which I could probably benefit from your help with at some point. -
Hi
remember you are reducing the motion of skin
the longest distance in golf is the 4 inches between your ears and it applies to many other things as well.
Look at the a delta fibre pathways in skin.
This I believe is the pathway

Did 2 last week because Ian said it was great;)
Both very positive in terms of symptom reduction and one had a distinct improvement in HAV angle in static weight bearing.
I did use the tape running perpendicularly in the second one and the patient seemed to find this better than without. Can't remember the brand of tape I used but it only lasted 2-3 days
If I'm honest, I sort of wished they hadn't worked and I could stay doing things the way I have done for years without investigating something new but hey ho. Griff if you design a study and need patient numbers, give me a nod

Just to add another two bob worth in: I've applied the "Rock Tape" brand taping a couple of times throughout the footy season for my own corks, bruises etc and found it to be pretty beneficial (1-2 days pain upon palpation instead of 3-4). I don't think it's 100% placebo because I was expecting it not to work! I used what was referred to as the "Octopus" technique in the corse. -
This clinical trial was just registered ... even though its been completed!

Hi Ian,
I've had a lot of success with RockTape, but I usually only use it to aid with healing injuries, I've never used it for bunions, I'm looking forward to giving it a go.
How long does the pt usually experience symptom relief? Is your aim to help them in the long term, or does the tape only help while they're wearing it?
Kate -
Thanks for the info Ian, very keen to put the taping to use for the short term benefit of bunions worldwide!
-
Only just picking up some questions from this - apologies for the delay [nearly 2 years in the case of the first one!!]
As an aside if using kinesiotape I mainly use Rocktape H2O nowadays. Designed for water sports but found the extra 'stickiness' pretty handy when dealing with feet/ankles. -
I haven't done the same numbers as Ian but I have several patients who are runners and apply the tape themselves to maintain symptom reduction. Most feel the benefit but give up once the pain has reduced a little. The others stop using when the novelty wears off because the difference in symptoms does not outweigh the hassle factor
Always go to great pains to tell people that it might be completely useless and that there is zero evidence supporting its usage other than Ian's footballer ;)
Just my 2p -

agree Craig it might be Kinesio tape but the Technique is not, so structural style with a more flexible tape, some big changes reported though, got to wonder how long the changes remained if the patient stops taping
-
Were the post treatment X-rays taken with the tape on or off?
Bill -
I'm all for colorful straps and tapes .... or silicone wedges, or exercises, or orthoses ....or whatever a patient wants to try out - eventually that patient gets fed up and will need, and ask, for surgery. A bunion, if it's bad enough, will likely always require a surgical solution for the great majority of patients, as a definitive remedy. At least in our lifetime.
