You Two Came All The Way From Saudi Arabia?

Nada from Saudi Arabia

We have 2 overseas participants this time, all the way from Saudi Arabia as Sports Solutions hosted Day 1 of the Kinesio Taping Asessments, Fundamental Concepts and Techniques course today. Thanks to Nicole Montes from Kinesio USA for putting my course details on their website.

Tensegrity model

We began our day with some lessons on anatomy and discussions on how the tape works, the homunculus, the tensegrity model and the Pain Gate Theory amongst others. Yes, I did explain about the how that original 1965 paper by Ronald Melzack and Patrick Wall may still be very relevant in some ways presently.

After all that talking, it was of course time for the practical.

Incredulous At The Kinesio Taping Course

Yes, that's Mona listening, mouth agape with incredulity at how wonderful our epidermis, dermis (skin) functions when I was explaining about how Kinesio Taping works.

Well, after my re-certification as a Certified Kinesio Taping Instructor earlier in January this year, I felt ready to teach again. I wrote earlier  last year that I wouldn't teach again until I've clarified my doubts (after Kinesio Taping International tweaked the course) so as not to shortchange the participants attending the course.

After going through the basic concepts, it was time for the practical.

We will do Day 2 of the Kinesio Taping Assessments, Fundamental Concepts and Techniques (what the course is now called, previously Level 2) tomorrow. Stay tuned.
