[pct-l] Plantar fasciitis

[Eugene Leafty]

Wait, so is the adhesive reusable or a one-time thing?  If it's reusable, I
may try it out.  I think it's worth a shot if it helps my feet recuperate
faster and more fully.  My feet are by far my limiting factor on the trail,
so this definitely has my interest.

Kinesio tape works great for blister prevention also.  It has a heat
activated adhesive so it stays put better than most tapes.  It is a bit
expensive though.

I noticed a few post about this.  I am just a lowly section hiker but all it
took was 50 miles on CA-Section I for my first experience with this
outrageously painful ailment.  When I returned from my 75 mile section I saw
my doctor and PT.  Relief did not come soon enough so I did my own research
and found the solution-- Kinesio tape.  I already had some from an
experiement with my knee so I Googled and found the method for PF. I taped
at night and the very next morning I got out of bed with NO PAIN.  It is a
freakin miracle.  The method is very simple and I will never hike without
some strips of tape in my pack.  I will be on CA Section C this April, and
maybe at ADZPCTKO.  Will have tape.  Will demo.  BTW, I am always barefoot
around the house, even now.  No more problems.
