Functional Movement Techniques
ABOUT THE PROGRAM:
FMT Basic (formerly FMT1)
This course introduces the concept of movement therapy and enhancement via functional taping methods. It includes a reveiw of the current literature suppporting the theory of kinesilogy taping for the purposes of rehabiliatation, edema/swelling management, neuropathic pain, scar mobility and postural management. FMT Basic is an evidence informed kinesiology taping course that redefines out understand of the effects of elastic therapeutic taping on pain mitigation, circulation and proprioception. FMT Basic lays the groundwork for a practical framework of ‘taping movement, not muscles’ to replace an outdated model focused on directional taping to acticvate or inhibit muscles.
Education Objectives FMT Basic:
Discuss the physiological effects of kinesiology taping.
Demonstrate functionals taping and understand its role and use for the applications of rehabilitation, edema management, neuropathic pain, scar moblity, and posture improvement.
Demonstrate and discuss the concept of a longitudinal muscle chain approach to the elastic therapeutic taping and a myofascial sequencing model lf “Taping movements, not muscles.”
FMT Performance (formerly FMT2)
This course expands on the concepts of movement therapy and performance enhancement via functional taping methods that are taught in FMT Basic. The anatomy and physiology of myofascial slings is covered. Movement assessment to determine dysfunction in specific slings and how to apply tape in a manner that improves movement and function is done in a workshop hands on environment. Correctice exercise techniques to address mobility and stabilty dysfunctions along these myofascial pathways are presented.
Education Objectives FMT Performance:
Discuss the concept of the longitudinal muscle chain approach to kinesiology taping and a myofascial sequencing model of “Taping movements, not muscles.”
Demonstrate movement screening techniques to evaluate proper human movement patterns. In the presence of faulty movement patters, the plane of dysfunctional movement is identified and movement is corrected using the longitudinal muscle chain approach to kinesiology taping.
Demonstrate functional taping applications for Performance Chains.
Discuss and demonstrate assessment of sport-specific movement patters and the use of taping to imporve sports performance.
