The human foot must have proper posture to prevent any tissue overloads. The objective of this study is to analyze the effects of Kinesio Taping on the plantar arches on normal and flat feet. A pilot study, with a sample number of 12 subjects was developed. That were considered individually by feet posture: normal feet and flat feet. An electric podobarometer and AutoCAD software were used to evaluate the arch index, before and 24 hours after the Kinesio Taping application. Data analyze was done with Shapiro-Wilk, T-student test, Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney. The measurements were considered significant when p < .05. The group with flat feet showed a reduction in the arch (p = .036) after Kinesio Taping, and the group with normal feet didn’t present any alterations (p = .9). The comparison between the two groups confirmed the initial difference of the height of the arch (p=0,01) and after the Kinesio Taping application, it was shown that the arch had changed (p = .01). The Kinesio Taping with low tension along the medial longitudinal arch was capable of modifying the arch in flat feet, but not in normal feet.
