Registration for this course has been extended to Monday, September 30, 2019

The KT4 Neurological course builds on and expands techniques learned in the KT1, KT2, and KT3 courses. This course addresses variations in nervous system status. The attendees will develop treatment strategies and practice extensive Kinesio Taping® techniques to address a wide variety of issues encountered when treating patients with neurological diseases. Some examples include: CVA, CP, ALS, MD, MS, and TBI. The course considers other physiological systems which impact patient considerations when working with the trunk and extremities. Developing, recovering, and deteriorating nervous system patients are investigated, strategies planned, and Kinesio Taping techniques practiced.

Objectives

• After completing this seminar, students will be able to:
• Develop treatment strategies, based on CNS status, utilizing Kinesio Taping applications to obtain desired results;
• Classify three Nervous System Status types and Expectations for therapeutic intervention;
• Practice specific, advanced, Kinesio Taping applications, including the EDF technique to the trunk and extremities after CNS status is determined;
