- In this video we demonstrate a taping technique to prevent blisters. This is great for runners, ultra runners, soccer, football and cricket players.
By placing a layer of rigid tape over the most frequent friction areas we allow the tape to take the brunt of the friction preventing the skin from being damaged.
Ensure you remove the tape carefully after your game or event as the skin will be moist and can be fragile as a result. Alternatively you could apply hyperfix below this to assist protecting the skin.

Big hiker. Leukotape-P and Joshua Tree Climbing Salve over it to prevent it sticking to the sock. It is an almighty godsend. Good video! I have found the tape sticks better if I round it. I usually take individual strips and put them on wax paper. Good placement you have for distance backpacking or running though!
Good point rounding the edges can definitely be helpful!
These videos would be much more helpful if there was a second person taking a close-up video of the foot rather than the foot taking up 1/40 of the screen of the video. Definitely requires a close-up on the toes. There’s too many videos that focus on the arch. Please post another one with better video technique and thank you for your content.
Thanks for the feedback @mr8966
Watch the video on your phone and then you can zoom in the video like when you zoom in on a pic.
Great video
Thanks so glad you found it helpful
great vid! But when playing basketball, a very multidirectional sport the tape covering the ball of my foot comes loose rather quickly. any tipps on how to prevent?
Couple of options:
Make sure you have a good quality tape - the ones you get from most chemists in Australia are not that great.
Heat the tape up before applying as this activates the glue.
There are some sprays that help with tape sticking.
What kind of tape is that? The tape that I use always falls off 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
This is 35mm ridged tape
Unfortunately you will find that there is a big difference in quality of tape. This particular tape is IDM but most of your large tape brands like Leuko etc (that’s in Australia) will be quite good. I personally wouldn’t but tape from a chemist as I have had similar experiences to you.
Another trick is to warm that tape roll in your hands or slightly with a hair dryer this helps to activate the glue better
Thanks 🙏
Glad you found it helpful
My toenail (toe next to biggest) formed a blister under the nail bed and eventually came off
What s name for this tape?
@@popvlad1630 this is 35mm ridged strapping tape
what do you call this kind of tape??
Hi d we use 35mm rigid tape. If used as a preventive this provides great coverage to friction blisters
Is 35mm rigid tape the same or better than KTape?
@@rickeysantosbetter. KT Tape is not designed for this purpose.
hai. asking. if we already use tape we dont need to aply petroleum gel such a vaseline, inst?
@@dikydwipermana if the skin is intact/not broken I find the tape without Vaseline works really well
But the tape needs to stick well to the skin to prevent friction so ensure your skin is dry/not sweating
Would this method work to prevent blisters during travel while a lot of walking is happening?
Thanks lili yea this would be helpful to prevent blisters when walking
@@BodyFitPhysiotherapy Awesome! Thank you so much!!
Hi, I tend to get blisters under the arch of my right foot when running. I don’t have orthotics so I’m not sure what my foot is rubbing against. It happens all the shoes I’ve ever had so it’s not the shoe. Do you think it might be my foot strike? Do you know of any way to prevent it besides taping?
It’s hard to say without seeing your feet and how you run. However foot strike and muscle control may have something to do with it but I have also seen this before with runners who have quite flat feet.
Additionally the quality of the socks you use can also contribute
Got new trainers got blisters on heal would this work
If I use sock tape does this work
do you also put Vaseline on ?
As long as there are no existing blisters I have not needed to use Vaseline at times I have found it causes the tape to slip
The important thing is that it is high quality tape and sticks well
Like hockey tape?
Hi Ian I am not sure what hockey tape is - we call this particular type 35mm ridged strapping tape
Where can i buy rigid tape?
@@darrylwolfe7359 often you can purchase it from a chemist but the quality is not always the best. You could also try a tape supplier or your local physiotherapist or podiatrist
I use the manual treadmill daily i am not taping my leg everyday.
Bro what XD
