Kt Tape - Jumper's knee
Tip: Highlight text to annotate itX
This application is for runners knee, which is a general term
meaning anterior or front of knee pain,
and Jumpers knee which is a more specific term-
meaning pain at the inferior pole or bottom portion
of the kneecap where the tendon is, just below the knee.
For this application I'll have you straighten your knee all the way down
and have you tear off an I-strip off the roll,
tear the paper in the middle of the tape,
and as you are applying stretch in this technique to the tape make sure you apply even pressure
on the tape and not actually pinching the middle of the tape or one side or the other.
Just below the bottom portion of that kneecap I want you to lay the tape down with full stretch.
Then stretching that tape as you lay it down pinch off the tape really good right there,
and then bend the knee up and you are going to lay the tape down without any tension-
it's important that you don't put any tension on the anchor (the same thing on the other side).
Rub that tape on with the waxy side of the paper- pretty vigorously so you get that glue to adhere.
(ok, and then all the way down straight... that looks great)
