In theory, KT tape running on top of the Achilles tendon could create an ankle plantar flexion moment. The amount of that moment would be the frictional force from the skin attachment x lever arm the tape has on the ankle joint. It's hard to imagine the frictional force of the tape bei...
If the pain is more central at the back, near the achilles, or just below the largest part of the calf, you could be putting most of your weight on your toes when you run–the heels of your running shoes maybe not even hitting the ground at all. The result? Stiffness in the front ...
