Video Course: Functional Fascial Taping
Ron Alexander
Functional Fascial Taping can decrease pain and increase range of motion, to encourage muscle firing and normal movement patterns. The technique has a unique objective assessment procedure and tape application to modify pain and provide tension/load at rest, active increased load (client self-administered treatment), and frequent alterations in load with movement with activity. This noninvasive treatment encourages practitioners' treatments to "hold" for longer and to rehabilitate in a pain-free environment.
