Functional Movement Techniques Series: FMT Basic – Tony Mikla

 

Discover the effects and benefits of Kinesiology Taping on pain, movement, fluid dynamics, posture, and more!

Until now, choices were limited if you wanted to learn how to use kinesiology tape. No more books or expensive classes! The first recording in the Functional Movement Techniques (FMT) Certification Series, FMT Basic, addresses theories and applications for pain, posture, edema, scars, and nerve entrapment syndromes.

FMT Basic is a 2-part kinesiology taping certification by industry leading experts in movement assessment and therapy. FMT Basic is based on the obvious, yet largely overlooked, concept of muscles acting as a chain and understanding human movement. Say good-bye to agonizing over muscular origins and insertions and memorizing directions of tape, and hello to a practical framework of “taping movement, not muscles.”

This recording introduces the concept of movement therapy and enhancement via functional taping methods. It includes a review of the current literature supporting the theory of kinesiology taping for the purposes of rehabilitation, edema/swelling management, neuropathic pain, and postural management. This recording is intended for therapists and practitioners with all levels of experience with taping.
