How to wrap a hammer toe
How to wrap a hammer toe
- Start with the tape under the toes, with the sticky side up.
- Gently wrap the tape under the big toe (or the toe next to the hammer toe), then over the hammer toe, and then under the next toe and over to the toe you started with.
This method forces the hammer toe into a normal position. But it does not straighten the toe permanently.
