Today, before we started, I spoke with the therapist about my back pain after therapy and about stretching. She said that stretching was definitely in order, that tight muscles contribute to pulling my kneecaps out of alignment, and that stretching should also help my back.

Three sessions, three therapists, three ways of taping. Today my knees are taped lower down, directly over the kneecaps, and are restricting my flexibility less. Yea! As long as I stick to early morning sessions I should keep seeing the same therapist. I was sent home with stretching assignments.
