Description:

Kinesiology taping is redefining the role of therapeutic taping for rehabilitation professionals. Taping was once used to physically hold structures in place; now kinesiology taping is used to influence fascia and underlying neural tissues to cause functional changes in both the local tissue as well as the central nervous system. Often relegated to the athletic world, kinesiology taping has many orthopedic, neurological and specialty applications. Course content will include kinesiology taping for joint mobilization/manipulation and stabilization applications.

This seminar-on-demand is 5 contact hours in length (check your state’s approval status in the state specific course catalog for your profession).

FL MT's: This course is approved for 5 hours in the relevant to and focus on massage therapy techniques (includes demonstration by the instructor) subject area.
