    The calf muscles are responsible for extending the foot during running and are often subjected to soreness and overuse injuries like inflammation. KT Tape can help treat calf pain by relaxing the muscles, increasing circulation, and reducing pressure. The tape is applied in strips using 25% stretch around the medial side of the calf and without stretch around the lateral side to form a V shape. Up to three strips can be used for additional support. The tape should be removed if skin becomes irritated.
