Two Free Webinars to Help You Master Your Taping Skills

With kinesiology tape becoming increasingly more popular, it is widely being used by therapists, coaches, trainers and athletes. There are many questions and claims about kinesiology tape but not as much research to support some of these claims.

If you ask Andre Labbe, PT, MOMT, he will tell you, “Definitely, kinesiology tape is doing something. What it does is still kind of gray in some areas; we know it helps with pain. We know clinically that it does assist us in unloading joints or putting joints in a better position for efficiency. In our profession, many times we are doing things that may not have hard science behind it, but the clinical relevance and clinical outcomes push us to move in that direction. So, the outcome sometimes pushes the practice.”

As Andre discusses, kinesiology tape allows those working with athletes to extend their practice outside of the facility. Kinesiology tape can be used to reinforce a posture or movement pattern being established as well as acting as a physiological reminder for them to maintain a certain position. Once the athlete leaves the facility after receiving treatment or training, they can benefit from those reinforcements.

Whether kinesiology taping is something you’re a beginner at, an expert at, or somewhere in-between…everyone can benefit from taking away knowledge about this practice and learning some new techniques. “Out of everything that’s come out in the last ten years, it’s (taping) probably impacted my practice the most,” says Labbe.
