PT. DPT. OCS<\/strong>. to develop our virtual Continuing Education course series. A practicing clinician. educator. and longtime KT Health Medical Advisory Board member. Dr. Harper has integrated kinesiology taping into his treatment approach for over 20 years. He played a key role in developing KT Tape&#8217;s original library of taping techniques for common pain points across the body. helping to establish the foundation of KT&#8217;s taping methodology. His deep understanding of biomechanics. neurological processes. and taping applications has shaped the course content to reflect evidence-based strategies that elevate both clinical outcomes and confidence in practice.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><strong>DURATION:<\/strong> 2 Hours<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><strong>CE UNITS ACQUIRED:<\/strong> 2.00 Units<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=OutlineElement Ltr SCXW268395161 BCX0>\n<p class=Paragraph SCXW268395161 BCX0 lang=EN-US><b>WHAT YOU WILL RECEIVE UPON COMPLETION OF THIS COURSE:<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=ListContainerWrapper SCXW268395161 BCX0>\n<ul class=BulletListStyle1 SCXW268395161 BCX0 role=list>\n<li data-leveltext=- data-font=Aptos data-listid=57 data-list-defn-props='{335552541:1.335559683:0.335559684:-2.335559685:360.335559991:360.469769226:Aptos.469769242:[8226].469777803:left.469777804:-.469777815:hybridMultilevel}' aria-setsize=-1 data-aria-posinset=2 data-aria-level=1 role=listitem class=OutlineElement Ltr SCXW268395161 BCX0><span class=EOP SCXW268395161 BCX0 data-ccp-props={}>Printable Certificate of Completion for CEUs<\/span><\/li>\n<li data-leveltext=- data-font=Aptos data-listid=57 data-list-defn-props='{335552541:1.335559683:0.335559684:-2.335559685:360.335559991:360.469769226:Aptos.469769242:[8226].469777803:left.469777804:-.469777815:hybridMultilevel}' aria-setsize=-1 data-aria-posinset=2 data-aria-level=1 role=listitem><span data-ccp-props={}>Post-Course Reference Materials<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h3 class= data-end=258 data-start=231><strong data-end=256 data-start=235>Course Objectives<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class= data-end=374 data-start=259>By the end of Course 4: <em data-end=343 data-start=283>Kinesiology Taping for Muscle Function &amp; Pain Modification<\/em>. participants will be able to:<\/p>\n<p class= data-end=504 data-start=376>\u2714 Explain how kinesiology tape influences muscle function through cutaneous stimulation and proprioceptive feedback mechanisms<\/p>\n<p class= data-end=655 data-start=506>\u2714 Differentiate between facilitation and inhibition taping techniques and apply them appropriately based on clinical goals and patient presentation<\/p>\n<p class= data-end=798 data-start=657>\u2714 Describe the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying pain modification. including gate control theory and descending inhibitory pathways<\/p>\n<p class= data-end=955 data-start=800>\u2714 Apply kinesiology taping strategies to support both muscle performance and pain reduction across a range of musculoskeletal and neurological conditions<\/p>\n<p class= data-end=1109 data-start=957>\u2714 Interpret current research related to kinesiology taping for pain modification and muscle function. and apply findings to evidence-informed practice<\/p>\n<p class= data-end=1232 data-start=1111>\u2714 Identify appropriate tape direction. tension. and configuration to address motor control deficits or pain sensitivity<\/p>\n<p class= data-end=1370 data-start=1234>\u2714 Integrate kinesiology taping as part of a multimodal care approach in both clinical rehabilitation and athletic performance settings<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span data-ccp-props={} class=EOP SCXW90190674 BCX0>ACCREDITATION<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=Paragraph SCXW74037715 BCX0 lang=EN-US><span class=EOP SCXW74037715 BCX0 data-ccp-props={}>Chiropractic:<span>\u00a0<\/span><span data-olk-copy-source=MessageBody>KT Health is recognized by the PACE program of the Federation of Chiropractic Licensing Boards<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=Paragraph SCXW74037715 BCX0 lang=EN-US><span class=EOP SCXW74037715 BCX0 data-ccp-props={}><span data-olk-copy-source=MessageBody><img src=https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0387\/3243\/1404\/files\/PACE_logo-circle_100x100.png?v=1741105139><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=OutlineElement Ltr SCXW74037715 BCX0>\n<p lang=EN-US class=Paragraph SCXW74037715 BCX0><span class=TextRun SCXW74037715 BCX0 lang=EN-US data-contrast=auto><span class=NormalTextRun SCXW74037715 BCX0><\/span><\/span><span class=TextRun SCXW74037715 BCX0 lang=EN-US data-contrast=auto><span class=NormalTextRun SCXW74037715 BCX0>Coming Soon: APTA Utah.
