Treating Bertrand's Hip Made His Shoulder Better

Other than treating patients, I like teaching too (sometimes). To make sure I can answer all the questions I get, I need to put in extra effort to keep myself updated and it keeps me on my toes. I always like to keep improving myself.

Now that I probably cannot become a better athlete, I channel my energy to try to make my patients better quicker. I want to teach better too, plus I get to meet course participants in the process.

Spending time explaining biotensegrity

And we do have foreign participants as well from Indonesia (Sports doctor) and from Malaysia of course. Even Elaine from Tunku Abdul Rahman University College who previously attended my Introduction to Kinesio Taping course in Malaysia came for this course.

Check this out, I found a picture of Elaine from nearly two years ago when I taught the Introduction to Kinesio Taping course in Malaysia.

Here's Elaine in the same pose in KL in November 2013

Here's the practical that threw everyone off. After explaining "biotensegrity" and the "onion tree" model, I demonstrated how treating Betrand's hip made his shoulder better????

And making his shoulder better

Stay tuned for tomorrow's KT 2.

Kinesio Taping KT Level 1 on 111213

The year seems to have flown by, it's already eleven twelve thirteen and just enough time to fit in one final Kinesio Taping KT Level 1,2 course for 2013.

It's also the first time this course is held on a week day @Progress Healthcare. Previously it's always held over Saturday and Sunday.

Other than the local participants, we also have participants from Indonesia and Philippines who flew in for the course specially.

Here are some pictures from the course.

Guess who?

How Can the Imitation/ Copy Cat Tapes Compete?

The participants had a lot of fun on the second day of the Kinesio Taping course today. Unlike KT 1 on day one, which covered different muscle facilitation and inhibitory techniques, they learnt six different corrective techniques in KT 2

Fabian William deciding if Vanessa or Lisa can tape better

Like some of our previous participants, some of the current participants have actually attended other imitation/ copy cat tape such as Acti-tape. Kinesiology and Rock tape etc courses. Of course they were not impressed and were advised to attend Kinesio Taping courses - the original tape founded since 1979 and the real deal.

Kinesio Taping's KT 1,2 courses are held over 2 full days or 16 hours of contact time. Imitation/ copy cat tape courses are usually just half a day long. 4 hours versus 16, there is no comparison at all.

Kinesio Taping KT Level 1,2 and 3 course are the only taping courses that award recognized CME (continuing medical education) points for medical professionals who must attain a certain number of points to allow them to work with a valid license in Singapore. None of the other imitation /copy cat tape courses award CME points.

Now you know. So make sure the person treating you is trained and not using imitation or copy cat tapes.

Here are more pictures from Day 2 of the course.

Another Pregnant Mummy Attends Kinesio Taping Course

Yes, we have another pregnant mummy coming to the Kinesio Taping Level 1 and 2 course held over the last 2 days at Progress Healthcare (the Singapore Kinesio Tape distributor).

Pregnant mummy Wang Ran, a Hong Kong trained physiotherapist is 8 months pregnant and still came for the course paying her own way as the hospital she works in did not set aside any budget for her to do the course. Previously we had another pregnant mummy coming to the course too.

Besides the locals, there was a participant from Abu Dhabi, 2 Indonesians, and an English physio as well. Local running coach Fabian Williams was one of the local participants who attended. This course is definitely attracting more and more people via word of mouth thanks to our previous participants.

Here are some pictures from the day one of the course.
