Objectives

1. Investigate the physiological effects of kinesiology taping on the body.
2. Demonstrate, via application, functional taping techniques that are specifically designed to influence injury, edema, neurologic conditions, scar, and posture.
3. Demonstrate and discuss how the fascial system functions, and how kinesiology tape interfaces with the mechanical, chemical, and neurosensory sub-systems of fascia.
4. Differentiate fluid dynamics taping applications for acute edema and chronic fluid dysfunction conditions using the jellyfish taping method.
5. Experiment with various tape application techniques for common musculoskeletal injury conditions such as low back discomfort, shoulder strains, ankle sprains, and post-operative patient/client care.
6. Demonstrate and apply posture taping applications for correction of common chronic postural deficits of the upper and lower spine regions.
7. Evaluate kinesiology taping techniques for neurologic entrapment syndromes and scar tissue management.

Outline

• Evolution of kinesiology taping
• Directional — movement focused
• Comparing kinesiology tapes: stretch, adherence, longevity
• Current research

• Neurosensory - skin to brain connection
• Peripheral nerves
• Tactile acuity - sensory system/receptors

• Hands on with the tape!
• Where to cut? Tips for turning corners
• Does direction matter? How many pieces?
