The following video shows you how to tape for general knee pain. Do keep in mind that knee pain can be indicative of a condition that needs medical attention. Among athletes, common overuse injuries include inflammation and irritation of the patella or quadriceps tendons from poor patella tracking.
Other causes of common knee pain stem from injuries that strain or tear ligaments. Meniscus damage and arthritis are also major contributors to knee pain. Each of these conditions have their own well-established treatments that include rest, icing after athletic use, anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy and training and sometimes surgery.
Proper diagnosis of the source of your pain is vital in creating a treatment plan that reduces pain and improves function. Your medical provider has the tools and expertise to diagnose and develop a treatment plan for your specific condition.
KT Tape is helpful for general knee pain, regardless of its source. It has the ability to provide support without limiting mobility. KT Tape inspires large muscle groups such as the quadriceps to do their job in supporting knee movement. By creating surface tension on the skin over the area needing support, KT Tape creates a light, comfortable support structure that relieves pain and restores mobility.
