This course expands on the concepts taught in FMT Basic and explores enhancing human movement and performance via functional taping methods (movement based). The anatomy and physiology of myofascial lines are covered. Movement screening is used to determine dysfunction in specific anatomical planes of motion and how to apply tape in a manner that improves movement and function. Learning is primarily done in a workshop, hands-on environment.
This 6-hour certification course is intended for practitioners and therapists with all levels of experience with taping. All supplies needed for the course are provided. FMT Basic is a prerequisite for FMT Advanced.
1. Discuss, practice and integrate the concept of longitudinal muscle chain kinesiology taping.
2. Discuss, demonstrate and interpret movement screening techniques to evaluate functional and dysfunctional movement patterns.
3. Demonstrate and discuss the concepts of longitudinal fascial chain kinesiology taping
4. Demonstrate and evaluate effective functional taping applications based on findings in movement assessment.
5. Compare and contrast sport-specific movement patterns and how kinesiology tape improves sports performance.
6. Compare and contrast upper and lower extremity helical fascial chain taping applications.
7. Introduce, interpret and practice applications for compression band floss in the upper and lower extremity as well as the trunk.
8. Critically analyze movement screening and correlated tape application for specific sports
