KT Tape: Back of Knee

Back of Knee

Pain at the back of the knee can be caused by many issues including hamstring tendonitis, a baker's cyst, popliteal tendonitis, and other conditions causing swelling or inflammation.

These conditions have many causes ranging from genetic to overuse. In any case, continuing to engage in extensive physical activity without rest or treatment would exacerbate the problem.

Use this application to increase blood flow to the area and relieve the pressure. Increasing blood flow will help to reduce inflammation, and reducing the pressure will help with the pain and aid in avoiding compensation injuries. As the pain subsides, light progressive stretching should be implemented along with massage.

Whatever the cause of your pain at the back of the knee, the effects of KT Tape will benefit you. Use this application in combination with the full knee support application for maximum effect.
