This tape is a super way to control stability, pain and disability to a great extent. It gives the medial joint support and offloads the pressure medially reducing pain and gradually regaining full activity. Remember exercises are the keys to long term goals.

This is Patella Tendon Offload Taping Technique which can be effectively used to offload the patella tendon and fat pad. Patella Tendinitis and Fat Pad Impingement is commonly seen in runners and conditions like chronic Osgood Schlatters. Constant friction and rotational torque causes inflammation and pain. Try it on patients who need this. As we always say, exercises play an important role in recovery. Tape is just adjunct to treatment. Exercise and addressing the bio mechanical fault is the main aspect to long term management.

This is Patella Femoral Taping introduced by Jenny McConnell. It's a great taping technique used mainly for Patella tracking issues. It aligns the Patella in different positions, here we have shown the internal rotation patella correction tape. We can also use it for Chrondomalacia Patella, Fat Pad Impingement patella, OA patella. This technique brings the patella to neutral (external rotation as it's tracked into internal rotation). This is usually done with the lateral glide correction position of the patella. It thus activates the medial quads better, loosens the lateral structures and offloads the fat pad and thus reduces pain whilst climbing stairs, squatting etc. A good tape to help reduce the pain and activate the inefficient medial muscles for better function.

This is Patella Femoral Taping introduced by Jenny McConnell. It's a great taping technique used mainly for Patella tracking issues. It aligns the Patella in different positions, here we have shown the lateral tilt correction tape. We can also use it for Chrondomalacia Patella, Fat Pad Impingement patella, OA patella. This technique brings the patella to neutral (medial tilt as it's tracked into lateral tilt). It thus activates the medial quads better, loosens the lateral structures and offloads the fat pad and thus reduces pain whilst climbing stairs, squatting etc. A good tape to help reduce the pain and activate the inefficient medial muscles for better function.

This tape is good for Dequervain’s Synovitis which is typical of wrist pain on the base of the thumb.
The explaination with video has been shared in one of our earlier posts. It can also be used for osteoarthritis of the metacarpal phalanges joints. This technique helps reduce pain and improves function and rehab by offloading the tendons of EPB and APL and supporting the CMC and MCP joints (wrist joint area)
Eventually we need to retrain movement and muscle control for long term benefits Share it with people who need it 🤟🏻

I love this exercise!
It’s a total body exercise challenging the upper body stability(scapula and shoulder), core strength and stability (obliques and lateral abdominals) and lower body muscles (glutes and legs). The single arm side plank position and lifting the dumbbell with the other arm not only works on the shoulder strength but also challenges the core muscles a lot more to stabilise when you move the arms up and down with the weights.
It’s a really feel good exercise 💪🏻

This tape for the ankle works really well post ankle sprains (ligament injuries) to provide ankle stability, better proprioception, improve rehab capacity and thus prevent recurrent ankle sprains. However, as we always mention that tape is a temporary solution. Rehabilitation and exercise are an important aspect for recovery and a return to activities. They may vary depending on the injury.
Recurrent ankle sprains may cause loss of joint integrity at the ankle due to inefficient passive control. It can cause excessive opening of the inferior tib-fib joint or increased taker movements within the ankle mortice. This may result into pain, stiffness or reduced mobility maybe even impingement. This tape helps to keep the talus into the mortice (alignment), increases stability and gives better proprioception so that rehab can be done efficiently
Please note - taping without exercise is a waste of time and gives false proprioception leading to recurrence. Try it for those who need this.

Here’s one of my favourite stability challenge exercises. It’s super challenging for the core and the legs while kneeling on the Swiss ball
The weights in the hand adds to the challenge and also helps working the upper body. Challenging, yet fun!

This is a good taping procedure to align the Glenohumeral Joint (shoulder joint). Most of us have the shoulder positioned anteriorly due to poor posture, slouched and forward shoulders, head of the humerus more anteriorly placed. This taping method is used for anteriorly placed shoulders and shoulder impingement. It can also help in controlling the anterior instability to some extent so that you can work on its rehabilitation program. It gives you some security and allows the muscles to work better. However, it isn’t a solution of anterior instability. The anterior displacement of the head of the humerus caused by the bio mechanical disadvantage leads impingement and tendinitis. The tape aligns this humerus head position thus improves the alignment, better going proprioception and helps in pain and shoulder rehabilitation.

This is a great exercise for improving shoulder rotation control with patients suffering from shoulder pain especially due to scapula downward position, humerus anteriorly placed, impingement, poor posture -protracted, internally rotated and rounded shoulders
The exercise helps you to externally rotate and keep the scapula in optimal alignment.
It’s important to lift the shoulder slightly up, off the mat into a neutral position, keep the elbow supported and then lift the forearm and wrist towards the ceiling. The challenge is to control the shoulder and scapula in neutral alignment whilst you externally rotate the shoulder. It is also important to keep the wrist relaxed and not compensate the movement with wrist extension and deviation.
Extremely effective as you will feel the rotator cuff burn 🔥
Try it on people who need it!
Constantly monitor to check if there is any aggravation in your symptoms. Do check with your physiotherapist
