My 15 y/o daughter has been dx w/ chondromalaciashe is very active athlete-probably overuse. I am looking for a good diagram of Mcconnell taping for unloading the ant/proximal patella,tracking is fairly good-slight lat tilt. symptoms are swelling proximal patella and crepitus after strong activity, esp running.Pain/tightness with full knee flexion.Positive apprehension test. What are the best exercises for her to do?
