McConnell taping

what is it and what purpose does it serve? my dr recommended the taping and physical therapy together. he said my patella are at an angle going outward and that taping may releive some of the pain.

    : This taping technique can reposition the knee cap to take pressure off the back of it. It only works in conjuction with a very regimented quad strengthening program. The tape won’t work by itself. : Make sure your PT understands both the taping tech. and the exercises. Weakness in the quad/vmo, tightness in the hamstrings and foot problems can cause your knee cap to track to the outside. Also, and it may sound strange, but the way you breathe, can cause patellar pain.: Hope this helps.****Do you have any suggestions for subluxation of the shoulder??Jessica

      I have a patient with weakness in the scapular musculature and have been trying taping techniques. I would like to know the best way to tape the serratus anterior muscleShannon.
