All knee taping instructions

If you have a stretched anterior cruciate ligament or are recovering from ACL surgery and need extra support during rehabilitation, this taping method can help.
How to tape your meniscus
If you’ve sustained a meniscus injury and are looking for a taping method that provides a stabilising effect, this application is a great option.
How to tape Patellar Tendonitis
Is your patellar tendon irritated? This taping method helps relieve pressure on the inflamed area and can reduce pain effectively.
How to tape knee pain (Osgood-Schlatter)
Do you have a painful spot just below the knee? This taping method is a suitable option. The star-shaped technique lifts the skin slightly, helping to reduce pain and make movement easier. It’s often a great solution for children with Osgood-Schlatter disease, allowing them to walk or cycle with less discomfort.
How to tape for pain under the kneecap
Do you experience pain beneath the kneecap? This can be caused by several factors, most commonly from overuse of the knee’s flexor and extensor muscles, which increases pressure on the patella. Learn more about this taping method designed to improve kneecap mobility and relieve discomfort.
How to tape Jumper’s Knee — Tendonitis of the knee cap
Irritation of the patellar tendon? Sharp pain from overuse, after sitting for long periods, or when pressure is applied to the shin? This condition, also known as jumper’s knee or patellar tendinopathy, is common in sports that involve jumping and quick stop-and-go movements.
How to tape your knee for stability
Do you have pain around the kneecap or throughout the entire knee? This taping method is a suitable option, providing gentle support to the knee and making movement easier and more comfortable.
How to tape your Knee Ligament
Unstable knee? Pain on the inner or outer side of the knee? This taping method helps stabilise the knee by supporting the inner and/or outer ligaments. It can also be combined with other knee taping techniques for additional support.
How to tape general knee pain
If you experience discomfort around your knee but can’t pinpoint exactly where the pain originates, this taping method may help. It provides gentle support, reduces strain on the joint and helps your knee feel more stable during movement.
