McConnell Taping
What is McConnell tape
McConnell tape was invented by Jenny McConnell, a PT from Australia, who used taping to help patients with patellar tracking and was effective in reducing the pain. McConnell Tape is a rigid, highly adhesive tape that is applied for up to 18 hours or less depending on patient’s comfort.

The benefits
The benefits of McConnell taping include: reduced pain, aids in healing certain injuries, corrects joint alignment & improves joint loading, improves muscle timing and muscle activation patterns, and allows an earlier return to activity following injury.
