About the K-Taping^® Pro course

A two-day (16-hour) course that teaches the
basic function and effects of K-Taping Therapy

It covers applications for muscle, ligament, functional, and fascia corrections, as well as introducing lymphatic correction techniques. In this course, you’ll learn to apply combination techniques for a variety of conditions, from impingement syndrome to plantar fasciitis.

See schedule

Course Details

In the K-Taping® Pro course, students are taught Four Application Techniques:

Muscle Techniques: Functional disorders in the muscles often cause an imbalance between agonists and antagonists. Muscle taping techniques are used to correct these imbalances. They allow the muscle to return to its normal function and adaptations can be made to the loading capacity and the movement patterns.

Ligament Techniques: The ligament technique is used for injury and overuse of tendons and ligaments. It relieves pressure and pain, and improves loading capacity, resulting in quicker healing.

Corrective Techniques: Are divided into functional correction and fascia correction. The functional corrective technique is used for the correction of abnormal bony positions, such as the correction of an abnormal patella position. Functional correction requires maximal stretching of the tape before application. Fascia correction is used for adhesions within muscle fascia, resulting in a loosening of fascia and pain reduction.

Lymphatic Techniques: Lymphatic Correction techniques are used when lymph flow is disrupted. These techniques lift the skin, increasing the space between skin and subcutaneous tissue, so lymph fluid can flow more easily out of the interstitial space into the lymphatic circulation.

Who should attend?

Physicians, physiotherapists, physiotherapy assistants, chiropractors, athletic therapists, kinesiologists, exercise physiologists, strength and conditioning specialists, massage therapists, and rehabilitation therapists.
