BASIC Kinesiology Taping: Taping Movements, Not Muscles
This course introduces the learner to functional taping methods that can improve the movement and performance of patients and clients. It includes a review of current literature supporting the theories that describe and delineate specific techniques of applying kinesiology taping for enhancement of rehabilitation or performance outcomes. It is an evidence-informed kinesiology taping course that advances attendees’ understanding of the efficacy of elastic therapeutic taping as a rehabilitation and performance intervention for patient and client conditions ranging from pain mitigation to improving fluid dynamics and sharpening proprioception.
This course is intended for health professionals with all levels of prior taping experience. All supplies needed for the course and lab experience are provided.
Learning Objectives:
- Define and discuss the physiological effects of kinesiology taping on the body.
- Demonstrate, via application, functional taping techniques that are specifically designed to influence pain*, edema, and
- Understand and differentiate fluid dynamics taping applications for acute edema and chronic fluid dysfunction conditions using the jellyfish taping method.
- Discover and experiment with various tape application techniques for common Musculo-skeletal injury conditions.
- Understand do’s and don’ts, contraindications and important utilization strategies of taping.
