I have been holding a few kinesio taping courses for Hong Kong runners now. And although there have been many enquiries for more courses I currently do not have a proper venue. But I have now teamed up with my sister, Jessica Martin, who is a physiotherapist to hold a basic kinesio taping course for athletes at Body and Soul Medical Clinics in Shanghai.

Kinesio tapes are the colourful, stretchy tapes you see available in sport shops and fitness clubs and given to athletes at the Crossfit Open, dragon boat races, tournaments and marathons. It's what the team physiotherapist often whips out when a player is recovering from mild injury.
If you ever wondered what it's all about you're in luck. A physiotherapist and a personal trainer have joined forces and designed this introductory course on how kinesio tape works and how to work with the tape.
We will focus on basic taping techniques which you can apply by yourself. The techniques are suitable for newbies will not require any background knowledge in anatomy.

To consider:
Wear comfortable loose clothes. We will be sitting on the gym floor when practising techniques and you want easy access to your leg joints.
Men might want to consider to trim or shave hair on their legs or tape over their sport trousers.
Kinesio tape is a non-latex, organic cotton based tape with an adhesive backing. But if you tend to have allergic reactions or over-sensitive skin the use of the tape might still cause irritations.
