Bunions - children

Application position

Lying down, the limb is supported.

Application procedure

Consult your physiotherapist or doctor regularly, pay attention to the children's feelings, the application should be repeated several times in succession.

1. Let's get two GEM tapes ready. Measure their length from the outer to the inner ankle and round the corners.

2. The anchor of the first tape is glued without tension above the outer ankle and continue gluing the tape without tension until the middle of the foot. Grasp the leg and perform leg flexion (right angle at the ankle) and point the leg inwards (perform internal rotation of the leg)

3. In this prepared position, apply the tape with 50% tension over the inner ankle. Glue the end of the tape without pulling.

4. To intensify the effect, we will also use a second tape. Glue the anchor of the second tape without tension in the area above the ankle and continue gluing the tape completely without tension until the middle of the foot. Grasp the leg and perform leg flexion (right angle at the ankle) and point the leg inwards (perform internal rotation of the leg)

5. In this prepared position, apply the tape with 50% tension towards the outer ankle. Glue the end of the tape without pulling.
