I. Theoretical part
1. Overview of types of taping / Application / Research.
2. Indications, contraindications and rules of taping. Warnings.
3. Biomechanical taping – a new type of taping
4. Mechanical and neurophysiological taping
5. Approaches to therapy using biomechanical taping
6. Multilevel approach of biomechanical taping
II. Practical part
1. Assistance to movement. Biomechanical taping as a muscle assistant. Direct technique.
a) Shin and Achilles tendon.
2. Stabilization of joints. Increase in closing forces.
a) Knee. PCL.
3. Physiologically favorable positioning of anatomical structures
a) Knee
4. Relieving the load from soft tissues
a) “Box” technique
5. Absorption of pathological load.
a) Plantar fasciitis
6. PowerBand – a technique for creating more force in the kinetic chain
7. Using different methods of influence and combining taping techniques:
o Posture and trapezius muscle
o Lower back
o Shoulder joint – work in 3 planes
o Shoulder rotation. Indirect technique
o Epicondylitis – lateral and medial
o Finger extensors
