COURSE DESCRIPTION

COMBINING RESISTIVE EXERCISE WITH KINESIO TAPING CREATING DYNAMIC RESULTS is a 12 hour beginner to intermediate course designed to improve the clinical rehabilitation skills using a scientific and systematic approach. The emphasis of this course is to provide scientific information to improve problem-solving skills in order to support evidence-based practice and improve your clinical decision-making skills. But, take it one step further and apply Kinesio Tape during resistive exercise giving you and the patient a two fold application.  The first allows you the opportunity to give support while maintaining full range of motion, enabling the individual to participate in resistive exercise without “cheating” resulting in increased physical activity with functional assistance. The second technique helps to prevent overuse and / or over-contraction.  In addition, simple correctional techniques used during resistive exercise including mechanical, ligament / tendon, fascia, and space corrections increase the success rate of functional recovery.  This course combines 50% lecture with 50% hands-on training in prescribing resistive exercise as well as balance training using inexpensive equipment, including elastic resistance, exercise balls, and balance tools while giving support, as needed, with Kinesio Tape.

OBJECTIVES

 Upon completion of this course the participant will be able to:

  • Have better decision-making skills by applying scientific rationale for therapeutic exercise prescription and progression.
  • Identify impairment-based approaches to therapeutic exercise prescription to facilitate appropriate clinical decision-making.
  • Recognize importance and benefits of combining taping with therapeutic resistive exercise.
  • Incorporate innovative and new techniques using inexpensive and readily available exercise modalities, including elastic resistance, exercise balls and stabilizers.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Stacey Davis, OTR/L, CKTP is a 1989 graduate of the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta with a B.S. in Occupational Therapy. Stacey has worked in a variety of settings and has proven abilities in developing vestibular programs, functional capacity evaluations, chronic pain programs work capacity programs as well as demonstrating effective managerial skills. She has recently achieved the credentials of becoming a Certified Kinesio Taping Practitioner. Stacey is a member of AOTA and GOTA being active and supportive since 1989. Stacey and her wonderful husband, Emory, have 3 children, Emily, 8, and twin boys, Coleton and Evan, 6. She is currently the director of Rehabilitation Services at Fairview Park Hospital in Dublin, Georgia.
