The Hybrid Live Kinesio Taping® Foundations certification course is a 20-contact hour course consisting of two parts:

1. Four hours of self-study, video-recorded lectures and demonstrations providing an overview of the development of the Kinesio Taping Method®, fundamental concepts, assessments and screening tests, and an introduction to Kinesio Correction taping techniques, and an introduction to Dr. Kenzo Kase’s new Kinesio Medical Taping (KMT) techniques. Techniques will be introduced in step-by-step applications for chronic conditions, swelling, edema, scar and fascial management, nerve taping as well as acute and chronic pain management.
2. A two-day, 16-contact hour, live on-site, lab-intensive workshop. This live component teaches techniques and assessment, as well as clinical reasoning, conditions, and more advanced taping techniques. Participants will learn to problem solve clinical cases requiring the application of multiple Kinesio Taping® techniques. Lab sessions will provide time to practice assessments and screenings, while applying techniques to a variety of upper and lower body conditions. Instructor will provide personalized feedback to each attendee to insure an understanding of the key taping concepts and techniques. Upon completion of the course attendees will be able to discuss and apply the Kinesio Taping® Method to a variety of muscular, orthopedic, and medical/neurological conditions.

Participants will have ample lab time to practice each advanced technique guided by Kinesio Assessment for clinical decision making and optimum patient outcomes. Case studies are presented for designing clinically relevant applications within a treatment program guided by the instructor. Case studies and additional research studies over the years are introduced so students can practice a variety of assessment techniques and advanced taping applications.
