The Kinesio® Taping Method is a globally recognized therapeutic technique grounded in anatomy, physiology, and clinical evidence. Developed by Dr. Kenzo Kase, DC, this method utilizes Kinesio® Tex Tape — a specially formulated elastic therapeutic tape — to gently lift the skin at a microscopic level, facilitating the body's innate healing mechanisms. Unlike rigid or conventional taping approaches, Kinesio Tape is non-restrictive, preserving full range of motion while addressing pain, inflammation, lymphatic flow, and neuromuscular dysfunction across a wide spectrum of clinical presentations.
The Kinesio® Foundations course is a hybrid program integrating fundamental taping concepts with advanced techniques and clinical reasoning. Delivered over an 8-hour, two-day in-person seminar — preceded by a required 4-hour online pre-course — participants will engage with assessment-driven protocols, hands-on laboratory sessions, and complex case studies involving musculoskeletal, orthopaedic, and neurological conditions. This course is appropriate for a broad range of licensed and credentialed healthcare professionals seeking to integrate an evidence-informed taping method into their clinical practice.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
