One of the first videos made by Suzanne, practice principal of Wellness Embodied, this knee taping video shows a little known technique for taping the Iliotibial band, as well as one of our favourite taping techniques- a variation on the McConnell tape for patellofemoral pain.
There are many benefits of tape.
  • Pain relief
  • Offloading sensitised nerves (such as referred pain down the arm or leg, or following a whiplash injury)
  • Stimulating muscle activity in deep anti- gravity muscles- correcting the muscle imbalances that research now shows is responsible for many pains.
  • Postural correction.

In the early days of the practice, before we moved to our central physiotherapy premises at 53 Sheridan Street, Suzanne ran a series of ‘tape yourself’ workshops. While all of our physiotherapists offer sports taping as a quick and easy fix ( very useful if you know exactly what you want taped in 10 minutes before a game, event or training session coming up), it’s always useful to learn how to do it yourself. Contact the clinic if you’d like to organise a workshop, or come in for a treatment and we’ll assess exactly what you need and show you how to do it!
