A member asked:
Have patellofemoral syndrome. rather than wearing brace on both knees when running where can i learn how to properly use athletic tape for knees?

Look up pics: of athletic strapping on the net. The idea is to compress the area just medial to the knee cap to keep it from sliding sideways toward the middle. Use Tr. of Benzoin on your skin if you are repeated taping and removing.
