Functional Fascial Taping |
Ron Alexander, Remedial Musculoskeletal Therapist, Australia |
This interactive workshop demonstrates an innovative and simple way for
clinicians to use tape to assist the treatment of musculoskeletal pathologies.
The taping technique has two main purposes. The first is a simple alternative
for pain management, as FFT® can quickly decrease pain, which allows rehabilitation in a pain free
environment. The second purpose is to offer a sustained load to tissues.
Participants will observe 3 key benefits: altered load at rest, active
increased load (patient self administered treatment) and frequent alterations
of load with activity, which is custom made for each patient/athlete for an
extended and pre-determined period of time.
Target Audience: Physical Therapists, Chiropractors, Kinesiologists, Athletic Therapists, Massage Therapists Cost: $450 plus GST early registration (before February 10, 2012) View or Download more information and registration form here. |
