Practical Applications of Biomechanical Taping for the Lower Limb

Course overview

The influence of load and various kinematic factors on tendinopathy and other overuse conditions is well documented. In this course, Ryan Kendrick, Australian musculoskeletal physiotherapist and developer of Dynamic Tape, explains how taping biomechanically can help in the management of these conditions and also discusses how elastic therapeutic taping can be used to assist function in the pediatric and neurologic populations. Elastic therapeutic taping is a natural extension to the practitioner's clinical reasoning process, and by following a simple procedure, techniques can be developed and integrated into the clinician's treatment approach, making it specific to their client and complementing their manual therapy and exercise-based interventions. In this course, Ryan Kendrick demonstrates a variety of lower limb techniques to address load, kinematics, function, and mechanosensitivity of the nervous system.
