What is Kinesiology Taping?
Kinesiology Tape is used to sports and relieve pain in muscles, joints and/or ligaments. It holds properties that support the reduction of swelling and it also aids recovery and mobility. This is a tape that has been around for ages. Initially, when it came onto the market people thought it was a complete gimmick. How can tape make such a big difference to an injury or bruising?
However, a tape that's been around for over 40 years can't be a gimmick -- it definitely works. If you've watched any major sporting event, you will find at least one athlete covered in a spider web tape of blue or pink or black. Top athletes use it to aid recovery, and so can you.
Here are some of the following brands of taping that I recommend:
MX Tape
Club Physio Tape
K60 d3 - HiTech Therapy
BSN
Kinesio Tex
If you look closely at a piece of kinesiology tape, you will see that some sections have glue and other sections don't have glue. These are done in wave patterns. The idea of kinesiology is to lift the skin every so slightly so that the body can do its own healing process. Injuries cause compression on your blood vessels, lymph and nervous system which limits the body from healing itself. The kinesiology tape relieves the compression to cascade the healing process.
There are many methods used to activate this correctly, with many different taping techniques and patterns. In our Sports Injury Management and Taping for Complete Beginners Course, you will be taught exactly what methods you need to use for different kinds of injuries.
In Module 1, Ankle Injuries would hold the main focus.
In Module 2, Lower an Upper Leg, Knees and Pelvis would be focused on.
And Lastly, In Module 3, Shoulders, Elbows, Hands and Fingers.
By the end of the course you should be able to tape, manage and help aid the recovery of some of the more basic sports injuries.
This course is designed for the Complete Beginner who wants to become knowledge in the field of Sports Injuries.
Most of the time in order to gain this knowledge you would need to do extremely expensive courses or first aid practicals which often only cater for people who are already working in Sports Injury Management Fields or even more, you would need to get a degree in Physiotherapy. That is why I want to make this information more accessible to the public so that you can help your clients, children, friends and family or even yourself when it comes to a basic injury.
No need to rush to the physio anymore. You can handle it on your own.
So, take the course. Become your own Physiotherapist.
