Taping Techniques
Taping for Knee pain, Patellofemoral pain syndrome or runners knee
Runner’s knee also known as Patellofemoral pain syndrome is a common cause of knee pain. Taping can be a great way to reduce your knee pain for you to still do the things required at work and home. Tape can be found at Woolworths and Coles. And you want to find the rigid sports tape
Don’t leave the tape on for longer then 3 days and take it off if it gets itchy or burning. The taping technique does not replace a thorough examination by a physiotherapist or GP. If you have been experiencing knee pain for longer then 2 weeks or it has been getting worse. I strongly recommend seeing a physiotherapist. Taping is to help reduce pain, it is not going to help stop the pain.

Lower Limb Strengthening
Recovering from a leg injury? Wall Squats are a great progression for your exercises.
After a leg or low back injury, we often start off exercises that aren’t hard, helping the muscles to start activating to reduce pain in daily activities. Frequently when I treat people that have been suffering from these injuries for a long time, they have done those Theraband or leg lifts felt better and never gotten into body weight exercises. In order to reduce pain levels in body weight activities, such as standing up from a toilet or walking, you have to start doing body weight strengthening. Wall squats are my go to in terms of starting to do some body weight strengthening.
The advice in this video does not replace the assessment or advice by other individuals. It is suited for people that have been advised to do squats by a health professional. If you experience problems with the exercise, stop the exercise immediately and reach out to us or your local Doctor.
