2nd part to show both practitioners AND patients on how I tape the knee with kinesio tape for infrapatella and patello-femoral pain problems. The taping unloads the knee cap quite well which helps in cases where there is retropatella pain, inflammation under tendon, as well as when the quads are weak. Weak quads or VMO atrophy will mean the extensor mechanism is not as efficient in the PFJ - which can cause mechanical load and pain the joint. The taping offloads that issue somewhat which enables patients to do more of the rehab exercises to strengthen the quads and improve the cause of the problem. Sometimes the pain to too much to actually do the rehab and the patint gets stuck. The taping therefore is a temporary means to an end to rehab, not a fix in itself alone. Make sure the rehab work it done!
