Kinesio Taping® Advanced Techniques and Clinical Reasoning

This course offers a brief review of the basic taping and assessment concepts learned in the first 2 day course. Advanced taping techniques and assessments are presented as Lecture Tutorials to introduce step by step applications for chronic edema, scar and fascial management, nerve taping as well as acute and chronic pain management. Participants will be offered ample lab time to practice each advanced technique guided by the Assessment Flowchart for clinical decision making. Case studies are presented for designing a clinically relevant application within a treatment program guided by the instructor. Case studies are then introduced for small groups of students to practice the variety of assessment techniques and advanced taping applications.

• “The coordinators and staff were very accommodating. Overall, the learning environment was good, and the instructor made sure it was respectful by using language that was non-biased and culturally sensitive. I feel confident that I can use my new knowledge and skills immediately, and I plan to do so with orthopedic patients in outpatient settings, as well as circulatory/lymphatic/neurological techniques in both outpatient settings and inpatient rehab facilities.” – Teresa, Fairfield, NJ Day 3 11.3.19
  
  
• “This was a great course. The instructors answered all questions clearly, and were open to all clinical questions. They provided great examples and case studies to help us in our understanding. I feel confident that I can immediately increase my use of Kinesio Taping in the clinic, especially the lower resistance taping techniques.” – Emily, Dayton, OH Day 3 10.25.19
  
  
• “Although my class was mostly PTs and I am an OT, one of the instructors took the time to provide specific instruction that was relevant to my professional practice. I appreciated having her available to expand the techniques available for an OT scope. I plan on using Kinesio Taping to provide input for muscle activation required for alignment to facilitate functional participation in play.” – Lindsey, Dayton, OH Day 3 10.25.19
  
  
• “Both the coordinator and the instructor were well prepared and knowledgeable. The instructor answered all questions clearly, and demonstrated a thorough grasp of all the course material. After taking this seminar, I feel confident I can use the techniques I learned. I plan on practicing on my family and colleagues in addition to using it more in the clinic.” – Kathleen, Westlake, OH Day 3 11.1.19
  
  
• “The facility was great. The group was small enough to allow for learning, and the instructor offered feedback during the hands-on portion that was clear and helpful. The course content was relevant to my professional practice, and was able to help confirm the techniques I already had put in use. I plan on using the new techniques I learned for fascial correction, muscle correction, and functional correction.” – Rachel, Westlake, OH Day 3 11.1.19
  
  
• “The instructor was able to offer clinical examples that showed me how the course content was relevant to me as a Physical Therapist. I have a number of patients who benefit from me putting my hands on them. Kinesio Taping can replicate that, and as such I plan to start using it immediately in my professional practice.” – Kelsey, Westlake, OH Day 3 11.1.19

• “The instructor was clear and easy to understand. He demonstrated the Taping Application methods slowly and explained everything well. He gave several clinically relevant examples of taping that are applicable to my profession, and I feel I had the right amount of attention given to me during the lab section. I plan to use my new knowledge and skills to address patients that have appropriate needs relevant to Kinesio Taping.” – Anna, Tucson, AZ Day 3 10.26.19
