Summary

In this episode, Matthew Boyd discusses the common issue of runner's knee, specifically focusing on patellofemoral pain. He explains the nature of this pain, the role of taping as a potential relief method, and the mixed evidence surrounding its effectiveness.


Boyd emphasizes that while taping can provide temporary relief, it should be part of a broader rehabilitation strategy that includes strengthening and technique refinement.
