Taping Jumper's Knee

[jorisrrr]

just buy a knee strap, and try to take it easy until the pain goes away

[mrbrownie555]

All you smart ass people who think you know what your talking about can just shut the hell up. Its really annoying to see your long ass messages on this about a video... please :)

[MadStylezuk]

@turtlepress i have pains around my knee cap and it hurts when Bending down or doing any leg work ! i play rugby and lift weights ! could i use this technique on my knee without the tape breaking whilst playing sport ?

Thanks in Advance

[turtlepress]

@MadStylezuk Not sure whether it will help but you can definitely make the tape job strong enough to stay in place during activity. Many basketball players use this technique successfully during games/practice.

how to treat it ??? by using knee strap

[Aleksz44]

Hi!

I think I'm currently suffering from jumpers knee, I have like a swelling 2 inches below the knee. It feels like it is right on the bone. Any suggestion what it can be? I'm feeling a huge pain while moving, jumping so on. I haven't hit it into anything, (at least so far I can remember). Have any suggestion to treat/cure it? I'm grateful for a quick reply!

Hey!

I when i was in 8th grade at school for 4years ago i did suffer a knee injury while running training going to run 800m but after 700m it starts hurting really badly and my doctor told me i hade a injury i hade broken my ACL & MCL but now 4years later i can't even train because of the pain and i have kneepads and tape but nothing helps so some times it hurt's so badly i can almost not even walk.

[Filip1497]

can jumper's knee last for 2 years?

[chowdigg]

@Filip1497 I have had it for one year. I've been to physical therapy, had a cortisone shot, MRI, rest for months. Nothing has helped. :(

can jumper's knee last for 2 years??

[haidino06]

Thanks for the advice, I have had jumpers knee on my left knee for 5 years but it has worsened this year since I put more weight on my body. I bought a jumpers knee strap to use during basketball and can no longer do squats so I do leg presses instead.  It hurts when I walk sometimes, esp up and down stairs. I use this taping procedure before i go to sleep and take it off in the morning. Should i tape it all day to increase the recovery process?

[irtubboftw]

@haidino06 this doesnt improve recovery, its just a pain reliever when playing sports

[1ofmeNlotsofU]

so does jumpers knee go away or is the pain forever? Cause ive had it for months now.

[turtlepress]

@1ofmeNlotsofU It will go away if you treat it.

[pcorde02]

@1ofmeNlotsofU what you have sounds like tendonosis or a breakdown (lysis) of the backside of the tendon. You can tell this by pressing on the front of the tendon with the leg straight and then pressing on the tendon with the knee bent. If you have less pain with the knee bent it is because the tendon is not in contact with the bone behind it. See your orthopedic for an evaluation because at this point ice, rest and anti-inflams are not going to make a difference.

[mr666rock]

i have something with my knee which is called osgood slaughter, this is a growing disease and it hurts. it havent been hurting for a long time because i stopped with my sports. but now im doind freerunning and im feeling it is going to hurt again, does this trick help to stop that pain too?

[turtlepress]

@mr666rock no, jumper's knee is different from osgood schlatter - if you rest for 12-24 months, you should just outgrow it

[mr666rock]

@turtlepress can't live without my sport ;) ill just go on and see if it's hgoing to hurt real bad or not XD

[turtlepress]

@mr666rock Hopefully the time you took off helped it heal and you'll feel better this time around - good luck with it!

[doctormoo]

@mr666rock U better see a orthopedic surgeon. If ur bones have really come off, u need screw to put it back. It takes less than 1 yr to heal, not 12months.

[TXSTEPHENTX]

i need this for parkour, i just locked out my knee and maybe the tendon is the reason??? :0 need tape!lol

[isanedrummer]

@TXSTEPHENTX I did the same thing! It works so good!!! :)

[3rundisciple]

Does this ever go away?? how do i cure it, and how long do i have to wait? It seems to keep commming back

[RudyCortez2]

@3rundisciple I have the same problem and i saw a doctor, he told me to do the exact same thing and it will eventually go away. The other option is to just stop what ever sport your doing for a few weeks and take it easy. But this wrapping technique works for me. I also have a jumpers knee brace which you can get from the Pharmacy.

[kallostomika]

is knee sprain a jumpers knee ??

How long does it takes to recover 100%?

[matchew3194]

THIS SHIT DOESNT WORK.

[D0ch0lliday1]

@matchew3194 i was watching this and was wondering how does that help? then i scrolled down and read your comment and laughed out loud for real haha. cracked me up

[biggelove09]

Just get a knee strap for 5-10 bux. This is an informative vid though

[edscottable]

my experience is that these straps and taping are a waste of time. basically your knee is too weak for the stress you put it through. start with icing. often. then hit the pool. get your leg workout that way till the pain subsides. then incorporate leg extensions into your regimen. very little weight. squeeze the muscle at the top of the extension. as that area becomes stronger, your knee will be able to track itself. no modifiers.

[keepermichelle]

helps against the pain pattelofemoraal symdroom?

because I have that, and I do a lot of sports

it hurts when I run and bike

[GREALDO21]

i hate jumpers knee it has completely ruined my playing abilities.

[turtlepress]

@imjustpassinthru Pre-wrap is something you put on under tape so it doesn't pull the hairs out of your skin. You can use it for this taping technique instead of regular athletic tape.

[imjustpassinthru]

It sounds like she's saying "pre-rap" as the type of tape.

[eVidHibaziW]

Hello  everybody,

does someone know the name of this tape (manufactor), thanks!

[JBRagneey]

i got diagnosed with patela tendonitis 18mths ago, and cant get rid! ive had to quit soccer coz of it! ill try anything now!

[jkdhoward]

@JBRagneey APPLY A CHINESE HERBALIST REMEDY CALLED "ZHENG GU SHUI" ON AFFECTED AREA TO SPEED RECOVERY. PURCHASE FROM CHINA TOWN I GUESS.

[owuzakif]

tell me more!

I was in china town today.

Would this product really work? Has it worked for you?

[krakheadmon]

If your knee is hairy in any way ... dont forget to shave. I had to find out the painful way ... shave the knee where the tape will go. :(

[dankar10]

Me too=)

[EliasJordan3]

@krakheadmon damn, i thought i didn't have hairy knee... at least it doesn't look hairy.

[ilovecoke23]

i have jumpers knee on both legs and it kills. i had it for 3 years now but the pain hurts the most at this age(14). any tips or adivce to make this pain go away?

[ColosiKilla]

how do i fix myn lol i got it from doing front flips

[ajtricker]

me to man how do i get rid of it man i also got it from front flips haha

did u try this tape thing ?

[PfcViksdalen]

haha, me too :P

[FA45FCD]

I'm afraid you are wrong, because the tendon above the patella is called the quadriceps tendon, and the tendon underneath is actually the patella tendon (or ligament). And this is where your pain is located when you have a jumper's knee.

What confuses me, is that she seems to be afraid of a rupture of the tendon directly at the tibia, while the pain is directly beneath the knee cap..

What confuses me, is

[Menla1]

here wtf?the patellar tendon attaches ABOVE THE PATELLA, she's taping the patellar ligament? im horribly confused is she wrong about the anatomy or where she put the tape?

[nbs4879]

What is a better of suspecting any sweeling above the knee cap , i mean, mri or something like?

since most of these are very closey associated,

[imakethingsgoBOOM]

wow she obviously dosnt know much about anatomy, the tendon is above the patella (knee) not on the bottom where shes point at. their all ligament around the knee because ligaments hold bones together, tendons attach to muscles (the tendon above the knee goes to the quadricep). She even says so herself that "you have a small tendon that runs down the knee cap and attaches to the bone here". so much for her being an "Athletic Trainer and Strength and Conditioning Specialist ..."

[HHHHGGGGG111111]

Will this work for a football player RT

[alex3346]

If you have hair on your legs you will want to shave it off, or purchase a ready made jumpers knee strap or else you will be in for a painful surprise.

[greenbeef9]

Hahahaha good to know, I did this before a game yesterday and when i ripped it off it was one hell of a suprise

[maxbaseball3]

haha dude i wish you would have told me this like a year and a half ago haha that was a bad experience

[crashthepopularkids]

i have this too

but i already knew how to threat it.

this is kinda wrong to do.

you have to cut 2 pieces of prewrap and apply it from the right side of your knee to the left side of your knee.

then take some heavy duty wrap and put it next to your kneecap.

now you've got to pull the heavy duty wrap into the direction between your legs.

make sure you actually move the kneecap a bit.

if you taped everything right the kneecap would be more directing between your knees and it would hurt less.

[qbanita02]

If you have jumper knee you got to stop playing it will get worst and worst trust me stop for like 2 or 3 m

[pokerrich9]

this is osund advice, i have had re occurring pain for maybe a year, I am now crippled by it after an intense few weeks of playing. I am looking at now sitting out 2 months :-(

[maxbaseball3]

dang dude i feel bad for u. i hate when i have to miss one practice cuz of it

[anatole2323]

cool thanks

[killme8222]

thanks you very much i need that

[Graziella2006]
