RockTape Education Live webinar FMT Kinesiology Taping

Foundations of Kinesiology Taping

Foundations of Kinesiology Taping is a clinically focused course developed in collaboration between Dexterity PD and RockTape, designed to enhance your ability to use elastic therapeutic taping for movement support, pain modulation, and performance. Built on the principle of taping movement, not muscles, this course goes beyond basic application and focuses on how kinesiology tape interacts with the body through neurosensory input and the fascial system. Youll strengthen your clinical reasoning while learning practical, movement-based techniques you can confidently apply in real-world practice.

FMT Basic

by Dr. Steven Capobianco

Until now, choices were limited if you wanted to learn how to use kinesiology tape.You had to read a book or attend an expensive class that locked you into one way of applying tape.Not anymore.FMT Basic introduces functional kinesiology taping methods that can improve the movement and performance of patients and clients. It includes a review of current literature supporting the theories that describe and delineate specific techniques of applying kinesiology taping for enhancement of rehabilitation or performance outcomes. Evidence based chapters in this course include topics of technique, theory and practical lab experience in areas such as pain management; edema/swelling control and proprioceptive guidance to enhance postural positioning. Kinesiology taping for scar mobility and symptoms associated with nerve entrapment are introduced in this course. FMT Basic is an evidence-informed kinesiology taping course that advances students understanding of the efficacy of elastic therapeutic taping as a rehabilitation and performance intervention for patient and client conditions ranging from pain mitigation to improving fluid dynamics and sharpening proprioception. FMT Basic methodically examines the research-influenced content basis for a practical framework of taping movement, not muscles replacing an outdated model of taping techniques which was focused on directional taping, specific percentages of stretch applied to the tape and the concept of activation or inhibition of musc...

FMT Advanced

by Dr Steve Capobianco

Until now, choices were limited if you wanted to learn how to use kinesiology tape.You had to read a book or attend an expensive class that locked you into one way of applying tape.Not anymore.FMT Advanced expands on the concepts taught in FMT Basic Kinesiology Taping and explores strategies to enhance human movement and performance through evidence-based functional taping methods. The anatomy and physiology of myofascial lines will be covered, the fascial lines are used in conjunction with kinesiology taping techniques to support efficient human movement. Sport-specific taping techniques are introduced, and students will have opportunities to assess dysfunction in specific anatomical planes of motion. Tape application techniques are explored and practiced with an emphasis on taping fascial chains to improve movement and enhance function. Students will learn techniques in a hands-on laboratory environment where they will have ample practice and instructor feedback on their techniques. These courses are intended for health professionals with all levels of prior taping experience. Functional Movement Training (FMT) courses are taught by industry leading experts in movement assessment, performance and rehabilitation. CEUs may be offered for DC, ATC, PT, LMTs, LAc, OTs and personal trainers. If your profession & state is unavailable, we do not currently offer CEUs however, we are continually adding additional licenses.Note: Tools are not provided with this course.
