Knee Taping
Knee taping is used by physical therapists in conjunction with exercise programs to treat osteoarthritis. It is a simple process that most patients can learn for themselves. It involves grabbing the patella (knee cap) and pulling into a comfortable position.
In a recent study it was shown that patients were likely to experience a reduction in knee pain when their knees were taped as compared to a non-taped group of patients. Even patients who did not experience knee cap pain reported that their knees felt better when taped.
