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

Attend the Massage Tools full day course for the chance to learn how Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) could be integrated into your patient care.  The Massage Tools course presents an alternate model for IASTM work – what we define as “Instrument Assisted Neuro Sensory Modulation” or IANSM.  This draws from current research regarding the way in which fascia behaves and the influence that manual therapy has on these tissues. The RockTape approach to using Massage Tools is typically very gentle, and the use of instruments can allow the practitioner to assess and “feel” the patient tissue in a different way.  Participants new to the use of tools are always surprised at the level of tissue information that can be felt through the tools.

The Massage Tools course outline is as follows:

·       Introduction to IASTM and the RockTape philosophy

·       “Driver’s Education”- using the various tool edges and grips

·       Exploring treatment variables – rate and depth

·       Using the Massage Tools for neurosensory modulation and influencing muscle function

·       Using the Massage Tools for pain presentations

·       Using the Massage Tools for “shearing” and treating nerve entrapments

·       Examples of use for commonly treated areas of the body

DMA Clinical Pilates has been inundated with huge demand for Full Accreditation since the recent Health Reform changes and thus we are entering an exciting stage in Physiotherapy.

The Health Reform changes have finally seen the distinction made between Clinical Pilates as an effective, evidence based treatment versus that of fitness/instructor led Pilates. The time is now to become accredited in the MBCT model and move forward with us! 

DMA pioneered the links between spinal stability, emerging motor control research and the work of Joseph Pilates over 30 years ago.

We have dedicated ourselves to establishing the gold standard of evidence based Pilates training for Physiotherapists publishing quality research to test its efficacy as a valid assessment and treatment tool for sub grouping patient’s presentation.
