Short overview and structure of the online course

The Kinesio Taping online course combines many different kinesiology taping techniques. In the Kinesio Taping online course, you will learn how skeletal muscles can be kinesiologically taped and how to correctly apply kinesiology tape in a muscle-based way. The main aim of muscle-based techniques is to reduce the tension in the skeletal muscles and thereby positively affect the joints and the body as a whole. When using muscle-specific techniques, the kinesiology tape is applied without stretching from the origin of the skeletal muscle to the point of insertion or vice versa while stretching the client's skeletal muscles. In addition to muscle-based techniques, the online course will also cover 'continuation' techniques: typically, a kinesiology tape is applied to the human body with stretching tension to partially change the position of the joints (and also the bones) to ensure better posture or joint stability, to prevent injuries, etc. The difference between the techniques is that while the muscle-based techniques are applied primarily by stretching the skeletal muscles, the so-called 'continuation' techniques are more characterized by the opposite situation: the kinesiology tape ensures that the skeletal muscles are strengthened. However, these are not the only 'continuation' techniques, as lymphatic circulation techniques, ligament techniques, pain point techniques, etc., are also discussed in the Kinesio Taping online course.

Prerequisites for enrolling in an online course

There are no prerequisites to participate in the Kinesio Taping online course; applying the Kinesio tape is not a difficult process, so we did not find it necessary to set additional prerequisites.

Completion of the online course

In order to participate in the Kinesio Taping online course, you need to register an account on the website, which will later be linked to the Kinesio Taping online course. More information will be provided after registration for the online course.

Kinesio Taping online course is based on recorded video lectures. If you have any questions during the course, you can email them to the course organiser. If the questions do not require a long answer, they will be answered by email. In the case of a longer answer, we prefer three options: 1) by telephone; 2) via Zoom; 3) creating an additional video clip to the online course. In the case of the first two options an exact date and time mutually convenient to both sides shall be agreed.

Documents delivered after the online course

Upon completion of the Kinesio Taping online course, a certificate or a notice will be issued. A certificate will be issued on completion of all learning objectives. In order to achieve the learning outcomes, various written assignments have to be completed, and multiple-choice tests have to be passed. The online course organiser will provide written feedback on the written assignments. Written assignments will be reviewed and fed back within 24 to 72 (usually 24) hours; progress to the next module is then allowed.
