how do u tape a knee for additional support for sports?

There is only one true pathology and way to tape the knee for sports.  It is called McConnell taping and it is for lateral tracking of the patella.  If the outside portion of the quadricep (vastus lateralis) overpowers the medial portion (vastus medialis) then your patella goes to the outside over the larger condyle of the femur.  This is a painful grinding called chondromalacia patellae.  If you have a problem with this talk to your doctor and see your athletic trainer or a physical therapist.\n\nIn terms of overall support, any wrap or tape you place around your knee has not been shown to be effective (not to mention restrictive).  You may get a brace to provide medial and lateral support, but in terms of support for the ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) 95% are torn with rotational stresses which there is no known support.  Braces can be inhibiting during athletics so you may want to think about it.

Go top sports authority and buy a little kit with the lacing and the tool to do it with.  There should be some instructions in there.

Contact the coach and he/she will help you! It depends on what team.

There are many components to the knee making it vulnerable for various types of injuries. Many injuries are successfully treated conservatively, while others require surgery to correct.  You should see a doctor as soon as possible as this is essential in case you may have suffered a ligament tear.  A tear would most likely require surgery if you are looking for a good long-term outlook. \n\nIn the meantime, follow a RICE program (an acronym which stands for rest, ice, compression and elevation).\n\nMore info on the treatment of knee injuries on site below.

from one basketball player to another. I learned how to jump playing volleyball. stand against the wall and jump as far as you can, have someone mark it and then try to touch it again and again. as time goes on move up the mark and try to touch it. you have to do this about 30 times I'd say about three times a day. You can put ankle weights on too, just wear shoes.

as a physical therapist,i recommend u to have hotpacks for 15-20 mins on the affected area for pain relief..secondly do some joint mobilization exercise x 10 reps x 2 sets .And lastly you should use a single tip cane on the unaffected knee for the reason to reduce weight on the affected area..

Well, I'm recovering from a broken kneecap. My Doctor told me to lay on my back on the floor.\nDraw my one knee up so it points to the ceiling while the foot is flat on the floor. Keep it there.\nThe other knee? Keeping your leg straight, lift that leg about 10 inches off the ground & hold for 10 seconds. Do 100 daily. This strengthens the knee.

A good sports bra helps keeps things under control a little bit.  You could use an Ace bandage and bind them down but that's probably not the best idea if you're playing sports.

I play basketball all the time, too, so I suffer from knee problems. I have a weak left knee because of it. I suggest wearing a knee brace when you play the actual game. Keep taking Advil. Use that Icy Cold stuff that Shaq and Mia Ham advertise on TV. That really works. Take a bath and soak your knees. And stretch well before the game. Hope you play well tonight! :)

(m)\n\nthe immediate treatment protocol for many sports-related injuries, including hamstring pulls or strains. \n\n\nRest the affect area. \n\nIce the injury. \n\nCompress the injury (Apply a bandage or other compressive device) \n\nElevate the injury \n\nIf the muscle is completely torn, surgery may be necessary to repair and reattach it. No treatment is complete without proper rehabilitation to strengthen and stretch the muscle. \n\nPreventing hamstring injury \n\nThe best way to prevent a hamstring injury is to stretch, both before and after an activity. Weak or tight hamstrings can contribute to low back pain, so doing exercises to strengthen and stretch the hamstrings may also reduce your risk of low back pain. \n\nSit down and straighten your left leg. The sole of your right foot should rest next to the inside of your straightened leg. Lean slightly forward and touch your foot with your fingers. Keep your left foot upright with the ankle and toes relaxed. Hold for 30 seconds. Repeat with right leg.

Treatment involves rest, ice, anti-inflammatory medications, and taping. Taping can supply immediate pain relief and helps correct abnormal positioning of the patella. It is continued until stretching and strengthening exercises re-balance the patella. Soft tissue therapy and stretching help loosen tight structures. The exact stretch depends upon which muscles are tight. Once pain has resolved then strengthening exercises can be started to prevent the condition from returning.
