Therapy
Patellar Taping
for Knee Pain
Patellar taping and knee bracing modify patellofemoral joint mechanics, providing immediate pain relief for patellofemoral pain syndrome and some forms of knee OA.
How it works
McConnell taping aligns the patella medially, reducing lateral compression on the patellofemoral joint. Modifies muscle recruitment patterns and may reduce pain via skin mechanoreceptor stimulation.
What to watch for
Technique matters — taping direction depends on the specific patellar mal-tracking pattern. Best taught by a physiotherapist. Useful for maintaining exercise while managing pain.
