McConnell Taping

McConnell Taping is a therapeutic technique that uses specially applied tape, often called McConnell tape, to help improve knee function and reduce pain. The tape is placed on the skin around the kneecap to realign it slightly, which can improve movement, decrease irritation, and provide support without restricting circulation. This method is commonly used for conditions like patellofemoral pain syndrome or kneecap tracking issues, aiming to facilitate proper knee mechanics and reduce discomfort during activity. The technique is typically applied by trained professionals and can be part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
