How to Host an Approved Kinesio Taping® Seminar with Sun Seminars

Thank you for your interest in hosting a Kinesio Taping® Seminar with Sun Seminars! The following outlines how Sun Seminars can provide instruction on the Kinesio Taping® Method at your facility!

A. Sun Seminars will:  Coordinate the seminar  Help market the seminar.  Provide the following Standardized Kinesio Taping Seminars (KT-KT3) in “blocks” (KT1-KT2 first, and then KT3 and new class a minimum of 30 days later). o KT1: Fundamental Concepts of the Kinesio Taping® Method o KT2: Advanced Concepts and Corrective Techniques of the Kinesio Taping® Method . Use two consecutive dates for KT1&KT2. Example: March 9-10, 2013 o KT3: Clinical Concepts and Advanced Whole Body Applications of the Kinesio Taping® Method o NEW CLASS: “Cognitive Processing”, “Verbal/Auditory Performance”, and “Swallowing Progression” using elastic therapeutic tape . This is being considered as a future Kinesio Specialty (KT4) class and not a standardized class at this point in time. . This is a multidisciplinary class. ASHA CEU’s are only awarded for this class.

Kinesio Taping® Seminar Descriptions

KT1: Fundamental Concepts of the Kinesio Taping® Method (Prerequisite: 80 completed course hours of Anatomy and Physiology must be a qualifying medical practitioner in an advanced healthcare setting) The KT1 course is designed to introduce practitioners to the Kinesio Taping® Method. During this eight-hour class, the instructor will introduce Kinesio Taping® concepts, theory and history, and discuss the four major physiological effects; skin, muscle, circulatory/lymphatic, and joint. During lab sessions, attendees will have ample time to practice Assessment Tests approved for the enhancement of their Kinesio Taping® skills and muscle applications for both the upper and lower body. Upon completion of this course, attendees will be able to discuss and apply the Kinesio Taping® Method to relax overuse syndromes, stimulate weak muscles, and decrease pain and swelling.

KT2: Advanced Concepts and Corrective Techniques of the Kinesio Taping® Method (To be taken in conjunction with KINESIO UNIVERSITY approved KT1 course - prerequisite is completion of KT1 course) The KT2 course builds on material learned in KT1. During this eight-hour class, the instructor will introduce the six Corrective Techniques (Mechanical, Functional, Space, Fascia, Ligament/Tendon, and Lymphatic) and discuss their application in a variety of clinical conditions. During lab sessions, attendees will have ample time to practice applying these techniques to a variety of upper and lower body conditions. Upon completion of this course, attendees will be able to discuss and apply the Kinesio Taping® Method to orthopedic and neurological conditions.

KT3: Clinical Concepts and Advanced Whole Body Applications of the Kinesio Taping® Method (Prerequisite, completion of KINESIO UNIVERSITY approved KT1 and KT2 courses) The KT3 course combines the Kinesio Taping Method foundational concepts of KT1&KT2 with advanced clinical concepts. The course provides lab time for attendees to practice their skills on the new concepts through a variety of clinical applications. The KT3 course is designed to allow the Certified Kinesio Taping Instructor (CKTI) to cater specific clinical applications to address specific professions. Upon completion of this course and prerequisite KT1&KT2 seminar,

Note: Students can request to take the exam but will not be eligible to receive a CKTP certificate until they graduate.

*New Class: “Cognitive Processing”, “Verbal/Auditory Performance”, and “Swallowing Progression” with elastic therapeutic tape. (Prerequisite, completion of KTA approved KT1, KT2 and KT3 courses) This is being considered as a future Kinesio Specialty (KT4) class and is not a standardized Kinesio specialty class at this point in time. This is a multidisciplinary class, however ASHA CEU’s are only awarded for this class. “Cognitive Processing”, “Verbal/Auditory Performance”, and “Swallowing Progression” with Elastic Therapeutic Tape is a specialty that course builds on expanded techniques learned from prior elastic therapeutic taping coursework taught from the standardized Kinesio Taping courses (KT1-KT3). This specialty course addresses the rationale for jaw symmetry, postural balance and “upregulation strategies” and their interplay on areas associated with “cognition processing”, “verbal/auditory performance”, “sensory registration/sensory regulation”, and “swallowing progression”. Elastic therapeutic taping strategies for adults/pediatrics, and “fragile populations”, focusing on the “minimal effective dose”, are presented. Participants will gain experience using the “Angles’n’Gridz®” app to describe quantitative data of a picture impression. Neurological features associated with dermatomes, myotomes, and sclerotomes will be discussed. Guided practice and case study material will be provided prior to direct instruction of the class.

**For SLP participants:  Sun Seminars is the only partner-hosted venue offering CEU’s for SLP/SLPA’s who take KT1-KT3.  All SLP/SLPA participants must register for a KT1-KT3 block session listed (per ASHA bylaws). All other disciplines may pursue KT3/CKTP status at their discretion.  SLP/SLPA’s will need to comply with both ASHA guidelines (e.g., Pre/post tests before and after KT1-KT3, timely return of pre/post-tests and any other requests), as well as Kinesio® University protocol (e.g., Demonstrating of KT1-KT3 concepts, theories, standardized taping strategies, phone or Skype

interview/consult with instructor(s), manual techniques and all other requests) in order to receive CEU’s and recommendation to pursue certification and CKTP credentialing. o Upon completion of a KT1-KT3 block, ASHA CEU’s will be awarded (based on completion of course requirements). A post examination will be given to SLP participants, which must be returned five (5) days after the KT3 seminar. It is up to the SLP participant to ensure that this post-test is received within the requested guidelines. No late assessments will be accepted. o Upon completion of KT1-KT3 course requirements, and assessment of the post-examination, SLP participants will receive a recommendation to pursue CKTP status. o In the event that the above criteria has not been fulfilled, or if a certification recommendation has not been given, the SLP participant can retake a “block” (within the same calendar year). A fee $50 will be applied.  SLP/SLPA’s must take the certification class (K3)and pass the exam to become certified to use Kinesio® Tape for clinical and billing purposes.  CEU’s for the new class (“Cognitive Processing”, “Verbal/Auditory Performance”, and “Swallowing Progression” with Kinesio Tape® (Prerequisite, completion of KTA approved KT1, KT2 and KT3 courses) have ASHA approval for CEU’s.  Proof of completion of KT 1& 2 is required for KT3 & CKTP exam. This must be submitted with a KT 3 only application.
