The courses organised by Vivomed use the European method of teaching developed by K-Active Europe.
For many years the teaching of Kinesiology Taping formerly under the Kinesio Taping umbrella was spearheaded by German physiotherapist Siggi Breitenbach, Polish professor Zbigniew Sliwinski and several other highly motivated physiotherapists.
The essence of the European teaching is to develop the core techniques in the participants, and to use the students' knowledge and professionalism to create an understanding of the therapy which allows the skills to be applicable to any part of the body.
To that end, students will learn a series of Screening Tests to determine areas of pain or weakness within the body and taping techniques designed to improve or eliminate these problems.
The importance of testing, tape application, and re-testing cannot be understated, and it is fundamental to the European style of teaching to develop this strategy.
Though the teaching will involve detailed descriptions of techniques on individual muscle groups, ligaments and fascia, the emphasis will not be on recipe book style teaching.
There are 3 courses in the series:
The Basic Course
The Advanced Course 1
The Advanced Course 2 (Refresher Course)
Each course will last 2 days and on completion of all 3 courses, interested therapists can be enrolled in the K-Active Instructor programme
