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.
Technique matters — taping direction depends on the specific patellar mal-tracking pattern. Best taught by a physiotherapist. Useful for maintaining exercise while managing pain.
Finding a practitioner
Seek a qualified and registered practitioner. In Australia, check AHPRA (ahpra.gov.au) for registered health practitioners including physiotherapists, psychologists, and Chinese medicine practitioners.
