The full day introduction (level1) courses remain our principal method of introducing the concept of kinesiology taping to the majority of practitioners.  This course provides the basics of kinesiology taping: regional taping for pain, taping for swelling and recovery, taping for posture and useful taping applications for pregnancy.  In addition this course includes an introduction to the concepts of “Fascial Chain Taping”: utilising the benefits of kinesiology taping to tape the muscles associated with a particular activity.  For example, linking the muscles of the appropriate kinetic chain, ie lower back, hamstring and calf muscles that make up the posterior chain.

Course Outline:

1. Theory of kinesiology taping
2. Regional taping - muscle and joint applications
3. Oedema / inflammation taping
4. Scar taping
5. Posture taping
6. Pregnancy taping applications
7. Introduction to Fascial Chain Taping

1. Introduction to Stick Mobility principles:

•           Leverage

•           Stability

•           Proprioception - feedback and co-ordination

•           Irradiation - recruitment of neighbouring muscles

•           Isometric strength

2. Instruction, demonstration and practice of exercises – joint mobilising, isolated strengthening, fascial mobilisation and combinations of the above

3. Introduction to the concept of partner exercises

4. Run through of 2 x 1 hour Stick Mobility class examples for those who wish to run Group Exercise sessions

5. Practice teaching Stick Mobility exercises to fellow attendees

The Stick Mobility course is a physical course and the majority of the two days are spent doing practical exercises.  Attendees can work at their own pace so it is suitable for all fitness levels.  Following the course, the attendees should be competent to teach Stick Mobility classes or incorporate the Stick Mobility principles and exercises working 1:1 with individual patients/clients.

Completion of the course enables access to 112 online instructional videos, plus 12 video examples of 1 hour classes, plus another 22 videos of more advanced mobility, strength and stretching exercises
