While my son was having fun, I was doing another Introduction to Kinesio Taping workshop in KL, this time at Pilatique. Their branch in Singapore is just behind Sports Solutions in Gemmil Lane. I had met Steven previously and he kindly agreed to let me use his studio in KL to do the workshop.

Steven and Melissa have much experience running their Stott Pilates courses both in Malaysia and Singapore and they managed to organize this really well given this was a very last minute request for them to host the workshop.

Why was this a last minute workshop? Some of you who've attended the workshop today and yesterday and will know why but for now I'll leave that story for another time....

Here are some pictures that Steven took while I was teaching.

A big thank you once again to Steven and Melissa for letting me use their Pilatique studio in KL. For more pictures have a look here.

Introduction To Kinesio Taping @ Tunku Abdul Rahman University College

Almost immediately after arriving in KL yesterday afternoon, I was whisked away to Tunku Abdul Rahman University Colleague by Yannie (who had attended a previous Kinesio Taping Level 1, 2 course and our Sports Massage course)  to do the Introduction to Kinesio Taping to some of the students there. Her friends and classmates had heard a lot about Kinesio Taping and wanted to find out more.

There was a big crowd waiting for me, more than 60 plus students plus some members of the public.
Most in the crowd knew anatomy so we could get into the practical real quick.

 Here are some of the pictures from the workshop.

Sharing one many laughs with the group

Prior to the session, one of the students had been taped by her physiotherapist using copy cat tapes. I assessed her with the copycat tape, removed the copy cat and tape reassessed her before putting the original Kinesio Tex tape (in picture below).

Well Yannie didn't take a great photo of Elaine after I retaped her with Kinesio tape, but the end result was totally different to say the least.

Final touch up for Elaine's taping

Who's causing a commotion....

I had a really great time with the students and shared many laughs with them, looking forward to teaching there again.

A big thank you to Yannie, Melodie, Windson and Steve for assisting me and to Miss Ler for letting me give a show and tell to the students.

Teaching Kinesio Taping In UM (Universiti Malaya)

There was a special request from Medi Lifesports (the Malaysian distributor for Kinesio tapes) and staff from UM (Universiti Malaya) for Gino to go to KL for a revision on Kinesio taping techniques and to also share new updates. So he caught the 8am flight to KL this morning to be in time for the late morning start.

Universti Malaya (U.M.)

It was mostly medical doctors (who were undergoing training to be Sports Physicians), physiotherapists and research staff who attended the revision tutorial/ practical and they fielded non-stop questions regarding specific techniques and conditions.

Hey, stop messaging and pay attention

Now, during the practical, everyone started paying attention.

After the taping, let's reassess and see if the right technique was chosen.

After lunch, it was time for a different workshop, showing when rigid taping is superior. And guess what? One of the Malaysian physiotherapist decided to teach Gino something too, until she found out that what she was suggesting wasn't working. 

Hey, I can tape better than you...

So back to showing them how it was done. 

This is how you do it
