Therapeutic Taping

Question  My husband has severe pain in his knees from arthritis. We just discovered the idea of therapeutic taping today and would like to know how or where we could learn the technique? My husband had already said that, maybe, wrapping the knee in an ace bandage would help. He feels that this may help him tremendously. He performs physical labor for his livelihood. He's on several medications, but doesn't want to be so dependant on them. They do have their limits. Thank you for your help.

Sincerely,
 
Answer  Taping of the knee is particularly effective in patients who have patellofemoral (under the kneecap) arthritis. Seek a physical therapist for help.
