Pes Anserinus Bursitis

At Learn2Tape, we continually seek research that supports the clinical effectiveness of kinesiology taping for common running-related injuries like Pes Anserinus Tendino-Bursitis. A recent randomized clinical trial by Homayouni, Foruzi, and Kalhori compared kinesiotaping to NSAIDs and physical therapy for treating this painful knee condition. While the study suggests that kinesiotaping may be a valuable tool, it notably lacked information on tape tension, a crucial factor in any taping protocol.

Still, the findings align with what we’ve seen in our own clinical practice: when applied correctly, kinesiology tape can help reduce inflammation, manage pain, and support tissue recovery—especially when treating medial knee pain in runners. At Learn2Tape, we use our standardized K-Cuts Application Grid to guide evidence-based decisions, ensuring consistency and results.

Whether you’re addressing acute swelling or chronic knee pain, the right taping method—combined with massage therapy and training adjustments—can help your athletes recover faster and stay on track. This condition is especially common during running season in Boston, and proactive care makes all the difference.

Explore the full study and learn how to integrate kinesiology taping into your treatment of Pes Anserinus Tendino-Bursitis.

Pes Anserinus Bursitis: I’d Tape That!

When treating runners, a frequently over looked but common condition (especially in women) is what is known as Pes Anserinus Tendino-Bursitis. This is the area just below the knee where the Sartorius, Gracilis, and Semitendinosus, conjoin. The tendons insert onto the proximal anteromedial tibia about 5 cm distal to the medial tibial joint line. They do so in a way that gives the appearance of a “Goose Foot”, hence the Latin term Pes Anserinus.
