Duration: 1 Hour 27 Minutes
Format: Audio and Video
Description
Kinesiology tape is widely used in sports and rehab –but how does it actually work? What is it doing to the tissues? In this seminar, we’ll explore the theories of sensory, circulatory and muscle activation. You’ll learn how kinesiology tape applications can help to reduce pain and normalize movement patterns. We’ll also explore how to combine treatment modalities for improved outcomes.
