Event Description:  KT1 FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS, SCREENING/MUSCLE TEST, & MUSCLE APPLICATIONS (To be taken in conjunction with KT2) The 2 day course is designed to introduce participants to the science, assessment and step by step application techniques of the Kinesio Taping Method. The first day includes Lecture Tutorials of the history and development of Kinesio Tex Tapes and the Kinesio Taping Method. The science and theory regarding how stimulus is transmitted through the skin and the resulting therapeutic benefit across efferent and afferent systems is reviewed. Taping concepts are presented in a “superficial to deep” progression. Day One includes corrections for Epidermis, Dermis, Superficial and Deep Fascia, Space, and Muscle in case study format for a variety of conditions. During time, Participants then perform the Manual Assessments and Movement Assessments and follow the step by step instructions for correct taping technique based on the case study presented. Time is allotted for questions and group discussions regarding clinical reasoning for each correction and cut of tape as part of clinical services and intervention procedures concerning such disorders within the participant’s discipline and parameter of service.

KT2 ADVANCED CONCEPTS & CORRECTIVE TECHNIQUES (Pre-requisite, completion of KTA approved KT1 course)

Day 2 builds on the material in Day 1 completing the Muscle Correction with assessments and labs This day continues with instruction and demonstration of assessment and taping  procedures for  the Mechanical, Tendon, Ligament and Circulatory/Lymphatic Correction in  case study format. During lab sessions, participants will have ample time to practice new Manual and Movement Assessments and correct taping techniques for conditions involving head positioning, cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine, upper limbs, lower limbs and trunk. Time is allotted for questions and discussion of the assessment flow charts to determine correct applications and general progression of treatment clinically. At the conclusion of Day Two participants are required to participate in a practical exam of a basic taping technique. The participant must pass the exam to attain the CEU certificate for this course. All participants will receive a full color Kinesio Taping Workbook and a 60-day access code to the KTAI database.
