The Pes Anserine (goose's foot) is the joining of three tendons on the front and inside portion of the lower knee area. The bursae in this area allow for smooth sliding of these tendons with the medial hamstrings and the medial collateral ligament. The bursae will often become inflamed during periods of overuse and cause mild to moderate pain. The three muscles (Sartorius, Gracilis, and Semitendinosus) whose tendons insert into this area all serve to flex the knee and affect hip position.
The primary cause of Pes Bursitis is overly tight hamstrings that put extra pressure on the surrounding bursae. Tight quads (especially in females), a blunt force to the inside of the knee, or over-pronation while running could also be causes. A rapid increase of activity without a proper stretching regimen is likely going to cause issues with the Pes Anserine area in the form of inflammation of the bursae or minor tearing of the tendons. This condition is also often found concurrently in patients who are experiencing Osgood Schlatter syndrome, arthritis, or tears in the medial meniscus.
Pes Bursitis will at its worst be mild to moderate pain at the inside and lower-front portion of the knee. Pain beyond this point could be a sign of stress fractures or more serious issues involving ligaments. When pain becomes more than a simple annoying pain, the individual should seek alternatives means for cardiovascular training and focus on a stretching regimen for the hamstrings and quadriceps.
KT Tape will help to relieve pressure off of the inflamed bursae and increase circulation to the area. Both results will drastically reduce pain and reduce the time to heal. As mentioned, a complete stretching regimen for the hamstrings and quads should be put in place as well. NSAIDs, ice after activity, and alternative means for cardiovascular fitness such as swimming should also be implemented. After symptoms are gone, focus on strength training of the lower body and continued flexibility.

I've been using KT taping for a couple of months now. I have knee ligament damage and am awaiting knee surgery. I was very suspicious about this product, but it works. My use of prescription painkillers has reduced by 80% . I don't know if its a placebo effect but I'm not sure i care. My pain is greatly reduced that's the sin benefit
its pure physics...it reduces weight on your ligament and muscles thanks to skin support
I love this tape! It has saved me from so much pain and further injury. These videos are spot on, clear verbal and visual instructions 100%.
don't see why people are complaining kt pro tape lasts Me a week. it sticks well, I apply it after washing the skin and having aboslutely no moisture on my skin. KT tape has been the only thing that has saved my life from living in constant pain and saving me from using large splints
Me to I've been running for many years and have tried all sorts and found KT Tape PRO is worth the money and its waterproof!
Have a history of knee injuries and only just started using KT Tape - this video was very informative, good pacing, and just what I needed. Thanks!
Every time I put the tape on wrong, it's like throwing away $3. I don't think I can afford having my knees anymore. LOL.
Lovely video content! Forgive me for the intrusion, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you heard about - Dinanlinson Rocky Position Approach (search on google)? It is a smashing one of a kind guide for learning how to fix chronic knee pain without the hard work. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my friend after a lifetime of fighting got great success with it.
THIS IS SO FUNNY
For real though
Lifetime runner and I swear by KT tape. Thanks for this video.
Hello from the future! This was so trendy - can't believe it was 10 years ago. And it still works! I just taped up a knee in 2022 and I'm ready for action. Thanks
I have widespread tendinosis and these KT Tape videos make my daily life so much better. THANK YOU!
Yes. Tape just like in the video only on the opposite leg. The red dot simulates the main point of pain so if your point of pain is in a slightly different place just adjust the two half strips and make an "x" over that point of pain.
This has been a revelation to me ,can,t praise it enough.please try this method if you are in pain and swelling.brill video.
Use an alcohol swab over the area to be taped. It will remove any oils or dirt that may prevent the tape from adhering.
I'm so thankful for KT TAPE, it has help me through some days.
Michaela was outstanding. Thanks for the taping technique.
Yes. Try adjusting the "x" to cover the main point of pain. Let us know how it works for you!
This application uses two 10 inch strips. One has been cut in half to form two five inch pieces.
It's pretty amazing stuff. We're glad to hear that it's working for you. Let us know how it goes after your run!
Thank you the excellent demo! I am about to get out my kt tape.
if im having a lot of pain in the inner portion of my knee right next to the lower part of my knee cap should i use this or the full support taping?
I'm not sure why KT tape works, but for me it works really well on my knees as per this video. Pretty amazing and makes a real difference in pain reduction, especially as it allows me to sleep through the night without awaking to knee pain.
The Pro version will stick much better. Give that a try. If this application feels better when it's on keep using this one. Our full knee support application might work as well as it is great for all general knee issues.
This is perfect I used this for my daughters sore knee for netball and it was like she hadn’t done anything to it at all 😃
you're a good mom. Good on you!
Thank you for this great information
I would start with the back of knee application that is on our website. Another resource would be to search our "ask an expert" forum on our website and you can search for your injury or post a question and get a customized application. Let us know how it works!
I cannot wait to try this!! I just ordered KT Tape off of amazon. =)
Is it possible to combine this application with the full knee support application? I have a grade 2 Sprain on my mcl but during rehab feeling additional instabilities on my knee
I applied using the technique in your ankle video and I couldn't believe it when I stretched my ankle I felt no pain at all. I then pushed on the area and I could not feel any pain. I am shocked and a little concerned that this works. I understand using it for edema caused by sprains or to reduce swelling but for this relatively minor pain? I don't get it. Hopefully it helps ease the pain I get after my run tomorrow. I'm shocked.
Thanks for the great post!
Will the tape help heal the knee and eventually you wont need the tape?
working for me aswell, twisted my knee at work (waitress) so the inside got hurt, used the tape and the pain stopped for a couple of months and now it started again so I think my knee is maby damaged...will just use the tape for a longer period of time since I have to continue to work. thanks for the video!
The colors of kinesiology tape are just for looks. They use different colors so you can see clearly where one piece of tape goes in respect to other pieces of tape. But you can do any taping with any color (or even any brand) of kinesiology tape. It needs to be kinesiology tape, though, regular athletic tape will not do the same thing.
I hope knee taping will help me. I’ve been in knee pain for 7 months now, going to PT, acupuncture, resting, yoga, strengthening, and all. It still bothers me to stand and walk on. Be careful everyone - mine is from a miscommunication with my prior PT.
Sweet! Thanks for the comment!
I've had some ankle pain for about 2 weeks now from running. I thought this stuff was snake oil but my cousin who is a PT said I works. So I bought some and decided to give it a try. I could feel the pain by extending my foot and palpating the medial part of my foot around the navicular bone.
what if the pain is not the top, bottom, or the sides but down the inside as in the center of the leg?
Thank you for this video. I would like to know if their is a similar but different way to apply kt tape for if one may have bone to bone of the knee; but the points that hurt position more is the inner, bottom, and back of the knee.
The shorter pieces have just been cut in half. Any roll will work for you. Just pick the color you like and the same tape can help your knees as well as your back.
I always love how whenever they show stuff like this the Pt has super soft super bare and supple baby-soft skin
I'm having medial and lateral knee pain along with pain in front. I had a knee scope 2 months ago but now my knee pops and subluxes more then before. What taping technique should I use? Can I combine a couple ways together or..?
I'm having pain on the left side of the back of my knee, how should I apply the tape?
It will give you additional support and stability. I would probably start with the Full Knee Support video first.
Hello, I did a Patial Menicectomy of my medial meniscus. It has past one month and a half and I started to play soccer again. I want to know if this aplication is the better option for me or the total support aplication should fit better? I have a KT tape and use the medial knee support but in 30 minutes of game it started to unstick... and I follow exactly the video`s protocol.
is KT TAPE AVAILABLE IN INDIA
This is all the 10 inch precut strips. The shorter ones have just been cut in half.
Sounds like you may need a custom application. Go to our website and visit the "ask an expert" forum and one of our pros will help you out. Let us know how it goes!
Hi, I'm having pain a little higher up the inner knee, about 2inchs up max (Been having this pain for almost three months now, my Doctor thinks it might be 'soft tissue damage' but let to him know if it gets worst, The pain is still only a 3-4/10 max but is more frequent. was 2-3 times a week now 5-7 times a week), would you recommend placing the "X" higher up where the pain is or something different. Thanks for your help!
I would recommend starting with our full knee support application. You can combine apps. Also if you post your question with specifics about your injury on our FB page one of our experts can get a customized app for you.
I suggest you go to our "ask an expert" forum on our website. It sounds like you might need a customized application. They will help you there.
its an immediate recovery to overcome the muscular pains which causes during competitions
Thanks the for the nice explenation
Is their a numbing agent in the tape at all? Can A dr prescribe it?
Well mine doesn't look as tidy X as that but lets hope it works 🤞
So helpful! Thanks!
Thank you this has helped me!
I would like to know, where is inner knee in right leg. I have KT tape, but I have a pain in right leg. The same place where the red dot is on left leg. Should I tape like the girl did ?
is there like a kit with all these kinds of different sized strips? or should I buy only one kind?? I have this problem in both kneews and also lower back pain... I use stairs everyday... so I'm desperate... please reply :D
how long is a full strip of tape and the other pieces of tape to use how long are those ones as well
Same problem as Jackson over there. I've wasted nearly 2 full roles of this stuff. Used to use some for shin splints, which would only stay on 50% of the time, for maybe a day max. Other times used it for an adductor tear, but it wouldn't last through the lightest of workouts. Tried it on my knee a few weeks after a sprain, but it wouldn't even stick for 2 minutes.
I've cleaned the skin, shaved, etc. Still nothing. I've browsed the websites forums too, a lot of people have the same problem, despite trying the same methods as people who claim it "lasts" 5 days.
when do you apply your tape before your activities?? i remember mine used to come off super fast (im a pitcher for fastpitch), but now i apply it at least an hour before i get active, and it sticks a lot better. I hope it helps!
I am interested for podiatric applications: bunions, unstable ankle.Strengthen the work of orthopedic insoles(But I would be convinced of its effectiveness.)
Try the full knee support application first.
I have pain on the inside of the knee but above the joint. Will taping help in this instance?
because i did the same as that girl would i need the same colour tape or does it matter what colour i use...??? thanks Roberto
great instructional, thanks!!
Hi my right leg knee band in international side and feel again again loos so how is good it taping on my knee.
Please show damo
What is the first step in treatment?
I have this one both inner knees very sensitive to touch and painful ... only really started feeling it last 2 months on and off? what on earth is it? and how comes I have it on both knees isn't that strange?
Khaos969 it's tendinitis, which 99% of the time comes from overuse, or too much of an increase in activity.
If you apply Friars balsam to your skin first, it will help the KT tape to stick fine. You will then have to use alcohol on it to remove it.
Hello there. I have a problem with the tape coming off when sweating actually. I am relatively new to the product as well. Kindly advise.
im a waterpolo player and just spend 8 hours at ODP and my inner knee is in pain, i have to practice, how should i tape it so it stays on in the water
just make sure that you tape it at least an hour before you get in the water, or else moisture will get under it and cause it to not stick as well
What is the difference of the color of the tapes?
my knee hurts on both sides as well as the very bottom, and when I run it spreads through my shins/calves. How do I wrap it for that? Thanks for this video though!
Cool. Let us know how it goes!
Very useful.
Can you do both the one for Osgood schlatter and this one together?
Do you have a link for Chondromalacia taping instruction?
Just purchased pro, still never sticks. Even with no physical activity. Come up with some serious adhesive, even if i need to rip it off like a bandaid, i have no care about the ripping leg hair pains hahah, but seriously, this stuff does not stick, hasn't helped me with any of my injuries yet. Currently have a minor mcl stretch/tear and won't stick for more than a minute. Back to the drawing board for the hairy customers, please.
Awesome. Let us know how it works for you!
great video thanks!
Thanks
What are the sizes of the KT tape do they use????
Would this help w/inner meniscus pain or injury?
Maybe tomorrow
What if you have very hairy legs?
I'm from argentina, how can i get the KT TAPE?
This is perfenct l used this for my dandughters sore knee for netballa and it wes like she hadn done anything to it at all
Thanks.. but please look at her posture. XD I'm a physical therapist. It kills me to see her back like that
where can i get this kind of tape? all i find is the normalversion
amazon
I've seen it at Meijer and Kroger
Meniscus tear too.
How well does this work with hairy legs?
We recommend trimming the hair on your legs to help the tape stick better to the skin. Here is a general taping tips video that will help: th-cam.com/video/hX47dApoKO4/w-d-xo.html
Ps: I have KT Tape but it`s not the Pro version
Can't imagine putting tape on my legs 1)because men have hair on their legs 2) because I'd have to shave my legs just to tape them. The female assist makes allot of sense this way.
If you are in enough pain you will shave you leg.simple as that.!
where can I buy this tape??
I found it in RiteAid
Petey possum you cant just use it by yourself, you have to go to professional therapyst
You can use it by yourself, hence why you can buy it over the counter. Petey possum Walmart, RiteAid, Target, Dick's Sporting Goods just to name a few places.
Dude just go to HEB, Walmart, or Target. This isn't some miracle tape.
Just watch the full knee support, That's what I do if it hurts on both sides.
Where can buy
this type of tape cost about $20 a roll. thers a pretty mich the same tape on modells but youre going to end up doing much the work by cutting it on how much length you needed. and also doing the curve cuts on the corners. and the one in modells it only cost me about less than $15 so its up to you whether you want to do the work and pay less amount of the money or you want to pay for a bit expensive for a roll of tape and not do any work...
Ok,thx
Is the tape reusable???? Please answer ASAP!!
To my finding its not reusable but it lasts 2-3 days
what is the dهfferance between colors?
Nothing they use different collers to make it easyer to follow but er is no differens
thank you
No problem
Jacqueline Hofman thank you
That's the main benefit
Or arthritis
