Knee strapping for patella tendon pain

14 July 2016 | By Deborah Mooney

In this video we show a simple method for strapping the knee when pain at the patella tendon is causing issues.

As mentioned in the video, this strapping method will not fix the issue causing the pain – it simply allows for reduced symptoms on movement/loading of the knee.

Highly recommend. Staff are super friendly, and I was really impressed with how they treated my injury "holistically" (being a retired dancer, they understood how years of old dancing injuries were affecting the current one). So much so that after a recent accident, I already knew where to head for injury rehabilitation - Deb is already getting me on the mend!

I cannot recommend Inspired Physiotherapy highly enough!The expertise and dedication shown by Deb, Sara and the rest of the Inspired Team is truly second to none - they are knowledgeable, friendly, caring and professional.Our entire family has seen them over many years, and Inspired Physiotherapy is always our go to place whenever things need work. We always know that their compassionate, sensible and supportive approach will get us back on track in the shortest time possible and give us significant improvements in our mobility and pain levels.My wife and I also run a performing arts studio, and to have a resource like Inspired Physio that understands the physical and emotional demands of a performer and the best ways to create the best outcome at all times is so commendable.We send all of our students to Inspired Physiotherapy for their physio needs and pre-pointe assessments and totally trust the team's recommendations.5 stars all the way.

I have been seeing Deb for physio and Kristy for exercise physiology for some time now, and both are exceptional clinicians who genuinely care about their clients. Their treatments and exercise sessions have enabled me to keep on moving, and do the things I love, while living with knee arthritis. I have no hesitation in recommending Inspired Physiotherapy and Exercise Physiology for their amazing service. Many thanks 😊

Deb has been the most supportive and inspiring health professional over the past few years. From ballet pointe assessments to temporary relief from chronic back pain, she is thorough, genuinely cares for her patients and has always been a huge help. Thank you for all that you do :)

I highly recommend Deb and the team at Inspired Physiotherapy. I have been visiting the clinic for physiotherapy and exercise physiology for many years now. After each visit I always walk away feeling so much better than I first walked in. I have a passion for dance and even though I face some physical struggles the amazing team continually help me to stay on my feet.

I am so glad I finally bit the bullet to go and see Deb about my ongoing hip issues. Deb has been amazing getting me going again and I'm finally able to sleep through a night with no pain. I am a massage therapist, and only ever refer my clients on to people I have tried and tested. I never have any hesitation in recommending Deb and the team at Inspired Physio to clients, family, or friends.

Deb and the girls at Inspired Physio are excellent. They investigate the underlying cause of your issue and develop treatments that provide solutions to fixing the problem. It might hurt when you first visit but you can feel the improvement almost straight away. Highley recommended.

Always a professional and caring experience whenever I go. I have heard some clinics set you up on a machine and leave you. Not here! They are with you every minute you are there, giving you their full attention and care. Great support and great treatment.

I highly recommend inspired physiotherapy. I have been seeing Deb for many years now and she is extremely professional and knowledgable. She has continued to keep my body in good condition no matter the injury and works with me with programs to prevent further injuries. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

I have been taking my teenage daughter here for a couple of months to help with pains she has developed because of the amount of sport and dancing she does. Deb has been excellent in teaching her about strengthening certain muscles to support her back cope with the physical demands. My daughter can be a bit shy but feels very comfortable and trusting with Deb. She’s been a great help.

Best Physio in the area. I've seen Nicole for two serious injuries. An L5 disc and a Hamstring tear. I was back up and running in three months after the disc injury and the Hamstring is healing well. I can't recommend Inspired Physiotherapy enough. Five Stars every day.

I have come to Deb (and previously Chris!) for a variety of issues, from pec strains to lower back pains. Each series of visits I've come out recovered, but also with the knowledge of how to manage my body to mitigate the same injuries from occurring again. Couldn't recommend the Inspired team highly enough!

Best Physio in the hills! Deb has been my go to for many years if anything happened to me, She is always prompt to book me in and fix any issues I have with mobility or pain. She then gives an exercise/stretching plan which prevents future injury.

I've been going to Inspired Physiotherapy from a young age when I started high intensity sports. Each and every injury I came in with was diagnosed and treated perfectly with care. I'd like to say a special thank you to Deb and the rest of the team for supporting my health and wellbeing throughout the years, of injury myself over and over again. Without Inspired Physiotherapy I would not be walking. I could not recommend them enough, my entire family appreciates your services as well as your welcoming personalities and capability to treat every injury quickly and perfectly.

I highly recommend Inspired Physiotherapy because of the welcoming staff. I have been a client of Deb's for several years now and I have seen her for multiple dance-related injuries and she has always been able to resolve them.

Gillian Jovanovic

I was recommended by a friend to take my daughter to Deb and the team at Inspired Physiotherapy and I could not recommend them highly enough. As my daughter is extremely active and does multiple sports, Deb has helped resolve the initial injury issue and is now supporting her with exercises to negate future issues. I now take both my daughters as Deb speaks fluent dance and completely understands our needs.

High recommend Inspired Physiotherapy. We have been clients for several years for dance and non-dance related issues (ranging from fractures to muscle issues to rehab from ankle recon and knee replacement) and cannot speak more highly of all the staff, especially Deb and Nicole. They are extremely knowledgeable and always take the time to diagnose and create personalised programs and really listen to concerns no matter how trivial. We wont be going anywhere else and always recommend them to friends and family!

Pat Chen

I have visited Deb and her team several times for a couple of different issues. Thrilled with the level of knowledge, care, effectiveness of the treatment, and the after-treatment follow-up.One issue was even a, as others told me "that's not fixable, you'll just have to live with it" problem, that Deb proceeded to treat and correct, and, with careful management, I have been not suffering with since. Highly recommend.

Stephen Lord

21:29 12 Jun 23

I have known Deb Mooney for 10 years. I am very pleased to always send my family and friends to Inspired Physiotherapy. Deb is very good with diagnoses and setting up the best treatment. Always shows care but gets the right result.All the best Deb

Shannon McClure

07:04 23 May 23

Deb and the team are great! Deb identified an injury within our first session, an injury that another physio at a different clinic had misdiagnosed. Deb was able to reduce pain significantly and give me exercises, which meant I did not have to return - whereas the other physio had me coming on a weekly basis. I do aerials as a hobby, and I still see Deb when I have a performance or have pain from training – Deb’s expertise in dance/movement has meant she can understand what I need or what I am doing from an aerial point of view. I highly recommend Inspired Physiotherapy!

krystal Ng

02:56 16 May 23

Highly recommended for dancers and athletes. Deb and the team are dedicated at improving the wellbeing of their clients, especially giving personalised advice for strengthening dancers. I've visited multiple times when I've had strange pains and Deb was able to identify causes and help relieve them within the session. Thanks to the team!

Tiff Ng

00:49 16 May 23

So rarely you can find a physio that understands dancers and can treat pains and ailments from dance, while also giving you great tips to avoid injuries in future. The whole team are so wonderful and knowledgeable. They were able to take care of me after an injury as well as for maintenance.

Judy Barr

I have been seeing Deb and her team for many years and would gladly recommend Inspired Physiotherapy to anyone looking for a physio that really does care about their patients.I've had a few injuries over the years and can always rely on the team at Inspired to get me back on track as quickly as possible.They really have gone above and beyond with my rehabilitation and exercise planning/programming.They have kept me motivated when I have had setbacks in the past with my training and helped me see the bigger picture and the positive results over the long term.Oh yeah, another big plus is that parking is easy and free! You don't find that too much in Sydney :D

As a teacher I have been recommending and sending my students to Deb and the team at Inspired Physiotherapy for years. Every team member is so knowledgeable and have worked wonders for many of my students to ensure their bodies are strong and safe to achieve what they need to achieve. It’s amazing to have such a brilliant team of physiotherapists to rely on at any moment of the year.

I have been very successfully treated for various muscle and upper back issues caused by sport and other stresses by Deb Mooney of Inspired Physiotherapy for the best part of 10 years. Approximately every 8 weeks my back “seizes” and I am in agony unless Deb works her physio magic on me which enables me to function again. Deb totally understands my agony and I am always so grateful for the relief I feel after my physio sessions. I appreciate that Deb and her friendly and professional receptionists will always make a plan to fit me in for an appointment and even if Deb is not available they always manage to make appointments with her associate physiotherapists, Nicole or Sara, who also work wonders in relieving my back pain. Over the years my family have also had the need for physiotherapy by Deb and have always had any muscular issues very satisfactorily resolved. Deb’s weekly Pilates classes enabled me to graduate to Kristy’s HIIT classes. Kristy, Inspired Physio’s exercise physiologist, knows exactly which exercises are required to strengthen our bodies and although it is a group session she is able to tailor exercises for the individuals in her class, (never mind the fun and laughter when we try and work on Kristy’s boxing routines!). Just as an aside, the reception area, treatment rooms and exercise studio are clean, tidy and welcoming. I would not hesitate to recommend Inspired Physiotherapy – Janet Ferreira

I have been attending pilates at Inspired Physiotherapy for 5 years. Not only have the sessions been great for me and my daughter to improve our flexibility and core strength. We have made great friends in the class as well. I highly recommend Inspired Physiotherapy.

Rosalie Brice

06:52 13 Feb 23

I have been a client of inspired physiotherapy for numerous years and I could not recommend them enough. As a dancer, Deb’s knowledge and background of dance ensures that I am always provided with the best treatments and exercises to help me individually. I have been treated by numerous of their staff and they all are extremely qualified and knowledgeable. I could not recommend them highly enough to everyone!

Kate Gibbs

06:41 10 Feb 23

As a dance studio owner, I recommend Inspired Physiotherapy to all our dancers who have injuries or require pre-pointe assessments for their ballet training. Deb and the team are extremely knowledgable and thorough. Thank you for all your guidance and expertise Deb !

Catherine Stewart

04:28 18 Jan 23

I have been a client of Inspired Physiotherapy for several years, and over that time I have seen several of their physios and cannot speak more highly of any of them. All are extremely knowledgable and always take the time to really listen so that they can correctly get to the heart of the issue. They are very caring and never make me feel stupid with my many questions. I would have no hesitation in recommending them for any age group.

I just had my first visit to Inspired Physiotherapy - which is something I should have done years ago. Nicole was excellent! She was very thorough and took the time to understand my scenario. After my first treatment and consultation, I had the best nights sleep that I have had in years. I have a program that will ease my pain, and am feeling the results already. I know there is a bit of work to do on my part, but I am sure that my recovery will be accelerated because they listened to my time line of events that caused my injury and gave me a program to work to.

I've been to a lot of physios, and Sara is one of the best I've had. She takes time with you and gives you all her attention, explains everything really clearly so that you understand what's going on with your body and how to fix it, and will go through lots of different things with you to check that you've properly understood and can make the right changes to how you move. And she's not pushy. She helped me immensely with an arm injury and lower back pain from running.

Would highly recommend them.

Last week I hurt my back on Friday lifting weights. I tried to sleep it off but this strategy did not pay off. Firstly - I hate people touching me and I also dislike visiting medical professionals. Saturday morning at 8am I called and had a last minute booking at 11am. Today I'm back at the gym writing this because I'm back to 100%. Love your work Inspired Physio! x

I’ve been to Inspired Physiotherapy over the past 3 years and each time had a great experience. I have the utmost confidence in their abilities, and since going a couple of sessions I haven’t needed to return. I have tried both of their physic’s - and they both treated me to a high standard. I did return at one stage for a sport massage, which was good too. The premises is squeaky clean with a nice fit-out, well equipped and the waiting room (which I wasn’t waiting in for long) has enough material to keep me occupied. I would highly reccomend giving inspired a go!

07:47 10 Nov 14

I went there for physio treatment after reading so many positive feedback on google. The treatment I received was not worth money they charge for first visit neither it is worth giving 5 starts.My current physio was on holiday so I thought to go to nearby physio and thought so many people are giving 5 star so there must be something good here. Disappointed with expectations.

Drew Steel

06:00 22 Jul 14

I first met Deb and Chris in 2012 when I began to lift at PTC Sydney. I saw Deb's posters around the place and really hoped that I wouldn't have to ever see her. Well, turns out you really can't be a lifter without the injuries, and it didn't take long. In August 2013, I sustained an injury at work to my right knee and immediately went and began treatment with Deb. The treatment worked wonders and I was back on full duties in only a few weeks after doctors had told me I wouldn't be able to for months. Just a week after I finished my treatment, I sustained my worst injury to date with MRI scans showing I had two bulging discs in my lower spine. Again, I sought treatment from Deb at Inspired and was back lifting to near pre-injury levels less than three months later after being told again by doctors that I wouldn't be capable of doing so for at least six months. In fact in January this year, only 4 months after the injury, I not only matched, but beat all of my previous lifting records with no pain in my back. Today I am pain free and continue to make progress with my lifts.The good thing about Inspired is that it is run by people who understand the sport of powerlifting, whereas many physiotherapists and doctors do not. Many can't give advice not only on recovery, but prevention as well. Deb is incredibly knowledgeable about powerlifting, and during treatment is capable of pinpointing the exact reason for an injury during a lift and advise on how to prevent future injuries while lifting. I would recommend inspired to anyone who needed their services, and I myself would not seek treatment anywhere else.

Vanessa Verrell

08:59 17 Jul 14

The team at Inspired Physio are the best! Hands down the best physio in Sydney! As an ex dancer i've been to a few!!! Deb's dance background gives me confidence in her knowledge and treatment of bodies that have been put through everything you can throw at them! The whole team always have a smile for you when you walk in the door. Its a safe and relaxing practice and I refer anyone in need without hesitation.
