Applying the Evidence for Improved
Functional Outcomes
Kinesiology taping has taken the world by storm and can be seen being used on professional athletes as well as
weekend warriors! Kinesiology taping is a definitive rehabilitative taping technique that is designed to facilitate the
body’s natural healing process while providing support and stability to muscles and joints without restricting the
body’s range of motion as well as providing extended soft tissue manipulation to prolong the benefits of manual
therapy administered within the clinical setting.
This lab-intensive workshop will take you through the process of recognizing the pathologies that most benefit from
kinesiology taping techniques and how to effectively implement them. Kinesiology taping strategies will be taught in
a hands-on format to ensure that participants receive an effective modality that can be instantly utilized. Participants
will learn strategies to improve joint mobility, ROM and improve outcomes across the board for every patient
population by utilizing a full body approach to effective kinesiology taping. This workshop will teach participants to
effectively inhibit and facilitate muscle movement to meet the challenges and produce results for a wide variety of
pathologies encountered throughout the body.
