  1. Are you Ready to Rock?

  2. “Kinesiology” taping has been gaining lots of recognition lately with Olympic and Professional Athletes seen sporting brightly coloured tape in interesting designs. This has sparked many clients asking what does it do and does it really work? As a physiotherapist committed to continuing education and intrigued myself about the powers of the florescent tape I recently enrolled in a course in one such mode of Kinesiology taping called “Rock Tape” or more specifically “Fascial Movement Taping.”

  3. If you have seen a rehabilitation professional (such as a physiotherapist, chiropractor, massage therapist, osteopath or kinesiologist) in the past you may have heard them use the term fascia (pronounced – Fash-a). So what is Fascia? Quite simply put, fascia can be described as the “biological fabric that holds us together” .

  4. As clinicians we continually strive to ensure our treatment techniques are supported by evidence and time an again the research throughout the rehabilitation field has shown that a multimodal approach to treatment is most effective. This means that we need to use a variety of tools in our “tool box” to get the best results. Kinesiology taping techniques like FMT are exciting tools to help clients achieve their rehabilitation and performance goals and with those flashy colours they can have fun looking like a Pro in the process.
