Kinesio Taping Specialty- Pediatric

The Kinesio Taping Specialty Pediatrics Course is an in-person elastic therapeutic taping course presenting advanced concepts and techniques of elastic therapeutic taping for the pediatric population. Attendees who have not taken a previous Kinesio Taping Fundamentals or Foundations courses will be required to complete a four hour virtual Kinesio Tape Fundamentals course online prior to attending this course.

This course will be held over an 8 hour period with a 4 hour online pre-course. The Kinesio online Pre-course must be completed prior to attending the course. The pre-course will present an overview of the development of the Kinesio Taping Method, Fundamental concepts, assessments and screening tests.

The Kinesio Taping Specialty Pediatrics Course will present advanced Kinesio Taping techniques and clinical reasoning for the pediatric population. A review of developmental biomechanics, as it applies to assessments for taping will be presented.  Attendees will problem solve clinical cases requiring the application of multiple taping techniques. Lab sessions will provide time to practice assessments and taping techniques for a variety of trunk, upper and lower body issues. Instructors will provide personalized feedback to each attendee to insure a thorough grasp of the taping concepts and techniques.

• List the best uses for the Kinesio Taping® Method for the pediatric population.

• Identify the impact of muscle imbalances and biomechanical alignment on posture and function.

• Describe and demonstrate cutting at least 4 different application tape shapes: I Strip, Y Strip, Web Cut, X Cut and describe when these might be beneficial for use in the pediatric population.

• Demonstrate the appropriate use of KMT, EDF, and Kinesio Taping Method Assessments for the pediatric population.

• Demonstrate a method of safely removing elastic therapeutic tape from skin and explain options for taping application duration in the pediatric population.

• Demonstrate the proper application of two Kinesio Taping techniques for the trunk, upper extremity and lower extremity for the pediatric population.

• Describe the difference between an underactive and overactive muscle correction application.
