Patellar Tendonitis Taping | For Better Knee Pain & Function [Jumper's Knee + Patellar Tendinopathy]

How did you find the taping technique? Use some coverall/fixomul first if you have an issue with sports tape directly on your skin, and good luck taking it off if you have hairy legs!

Great vid with constructive explanations and detail. Really useful and helpful. Can we tape using kinesiology tape? Would it be better?

[@YourWellnessNerd]

Appreciate the kind words mate. The more rigid sports tape is often a much better tape to use as its structure can genuinely help support and guide tissue better. Kinesiology tape can sometimes be a little bit more marketing spin than structurally and mechanically helpful!

Thanks for your prompt reply! Because I will be playing sports today and was going to use kinesiology tape if you hadn't recommended the rigid tape 😁. And great point. Will do so. Ta!!

The base of the patella is the most proximal portion. The apex of the patella is the distal portion.

[@YourWellnessNerd]

Respectfully, it’s the other way around Brian! Proximal = closest to the top, Distal = furthest away from the midline

Is rebounding on a mini trampoline likely to make jumpers knee better or worse?

[@YourWellnessNerd]

Its often person specific, having said that its always best to seek in-person advice to make sure they can give you the best and most specific advice for you and your symptoms. Hope the video helped!

[@barbaraferron7994]

Before taping I was afraid my knee would give out while walking. After taping it still hurts but the pain is reduced enough that I can walk safely.

Hopefully things improve soon Barbara!
