In this video I teach you how to tape anterior compartment syndrome. This taping technique is equally effective for the treatment of Tibialis Anterior Tendinopathy. 

Anterior compartment syndrome is a painful condition effecting the anterior (front) portion of the shin. Tibialis anterior tendinopathy is felt more local to the anterior of the ankle joint, whereas anterior compartment syndrome  is felt in the belly of the muscle usually mid shin or higher.

By using tape in the manner you will reduce pain and increase function in the area. 

In this video I am using RockTape for this technique. If the skin becomes itchy the tape should be removed straight away, Do not use taping if you are allergic to plasters. You should not constantly re tape. You need to give your skin time to breathe between taping. I recommend a minimum of 5 days between tapings.
