Do you know how to relieve your “Turf Toe” pain?

We love KT Tape’s Youtube Channel because it explains how to use adhesive tape to prevent injuries or to reduce pain. In this video we can see how to improve a “Turf Toe” injury which is chronic hyperextension of the big toe. This injury can happen to hockey players because they  perform on artificial turf and dense surfaces.

There are many instances wherein the toe can become hyperextended such as kneeling abruptly or repeatedly, breaking into a sprint, or any instance in which one pushes off of the forefoot and the toe stays flat. The condition can happen all at once if the force is great enough, or can develop over time with repeated extension of the toe beyond it’s normal range of motion.
