Flexotaping – the Myofascial Kinesiology Taping method, invented by Markus Erhard, is a revolutionary innovation of Kinesio Taping that offers a totally new approach to healing muscles, fascia, nerves, and even internal organs.
It is highly effective for pain management but also for preventive maintenance and edema.
FLEXOTAPING® - Myofascial Taping courses are the most innovative and successful courses in taping. The method is based on myofascial balance, improvement of muscle function, improvement of motion with increased range and killing pain in one therapy session.
The Myofascial Taping method, its approach, physiological effects and the myofascial taping techniques are totally
different and further developed to the regular kinesiology taping.
The underlying principle is to have an
intensive influence and effect on myofascia. The myofascial taping will bring you more success for your therapy, injury or pain prevention and sporting performance.
It is easy to show that Myofascial Kinesiology Taping is much more effective than the kinesiology taping methods – by studies and by treating clients.
Most often it only needs a few stripes of myofascial kinesiology tape to reduce pain to zero instantly but also in a long run.
Acute and chronic myofascial pain that keeps people and athletes from moving properly and musculoskeletal problems that seemed to take long time to resolve or reduce are often fixed in one therapy session which usually takes only a few minutes.
These effects are achieved by new taping techniques for myofascial release, myofascial activation, correction of fascia course and structural change of fascia. The Physio Training Academy is involved in many research projects and studies. The evidence gained goes back into the courses and development of techniques and therapy approach.
The Myofascial Kinesiology Taping method offers such a huge benefit to your clients and will improve your therapy success so that it is also getting a most valuable therapy method for physiotherapists, osteopaths, body workers, chiropractors, orthopedists, acupuncturists, and other health professionals across the world for treating all sorts of myofascial pain syndromes and injuries of knee, shoulder, neck, low back, tennis elbow, impingement syndromes, hamstrings, carpal tunnel syndrome, and many many others.
Different to Kinesio Taping, the Myofascial Kinesiology Taping restores your individual myofascial balance, holistically. That provides stability and support; tensed myofascial meridians (Anatomy Trains) get a myofascial release through special techniques, so that movement will be pain free and with increased range of motion – just a well-functioning myofascial system.
Myofascial Kinesiology Taping changes the structure of the fascia to reduce the myofascial tension that caused pain for a long term.
According to the newer research results (2008-2010) fascia is not only important for the muscles, proprioception and movement control but also to handle the circulation of blood and lymph flow.
Often it is not the muscle that causes the problems but the fascia and fascial connections from muscle to muscle.
Kinesio taping and Myofascial Kinesiology taping allow the body to heal itself naturally but Myofascial K Taping reduces pain much more often, quicker and with a better long term result by taping certain spots of whole myofascial chains or Anatomy Trains with different myofascial techniques. It helps activate the neurological and circulatory system which results in quick and natural healing of the injured muscles and tendons. For the new method, a special elastic tape called Flexotape – The myofascial kinesiology tape is used that ensures that the muscle movement and blood circulation would remain normal or enhanced respectively. The Flexotape has similar properties than the kinesio tape but has a much stronger adhesive for the myofascial release techniques. Like the kinesio tape the Flexotape is latex-free, made out of 100% cotton, is almost of the same texture as healthy human skin, and is water resistant, too. It sticks longer and better than regular kinesiology tapes and is therefore very popular in sports. It is used by many elite sport clubs and national teams throughout the world. A single roll of this tape can be used for 6-8 standard applications and stays on for 5 days in average without changing it – even after competitions, intensive training and in water.
There are different techniques for applying the myofascial kinesiology tape and in order to get the best results from this taping technique, it is essential to study all about it.
Since the method is quite new there are no books on the market so far. There is only the courses and the course manuals. More and more articles and studies will be published soon.
We look forward to see you on our courses to show you about the Myofascial K Taping method and how to approach fascia, muscles, ligaments, tendons and complete clinical scenarios in a most effective way – the myofascial taping way.
Even if you have been on many different kinesiology taping or kinesio taping courses you will see and feel how much more effective, quickly but also long lasting this new method kills pain, increases range of motion and strength, improves your posture, muscle function movement and sporting performance.
We guarantee that you will be impressed.
