Kinesio Taping (Advanced Taping)

The Kinesiology Taping course is an advanced taping course teaching the techniques of kinesio tape. Kinesio taping can be used during sport as a preventative to injury, and post sport as a recovery tool. It lifts the skin and allows blood flow around the affected area, and in some aspects is a preferred option over rigid tape.

Participants who successfully complete this training will have the competencies and confidence required to apply kinesio tape as a preventative.

Course instructors are experienced Paramedics and Exercise Physiologists.
