Staff from Physio and Sports Solutions came together this morning for a Kinesio taping tutorial by Fizah at SportsSolutions. Fizah had recently gone to Adelaide, South Australia for the course and she kindly shared what she had learnt. Our staff will regularly have tutorial sessions so we can share knowledge with each other which in turn will benefit our patients as we become more skilled.
Kinesio tape became well known after last year's 2008 Beijing Olympics after the tape (which was donated by the Japanese manufacturers to many countries) was used by many athletes at the Olympics. See pictures of athletes with the Kinesio tapes below.
Some of our staff first began using Kinesio tape way back in 1999. In those days, the books were in Japanese and we had to ask for help (from people who could read Japanese) with some of the techniques described. Good thing Fizah could teach us in English.

Kinesiotape is great stuff! I use it in neurorehab for stroke patients all the time.
:) Thanks for the heads up on the original taping method.
