You know what it is. It’s that crazy colorful tape that your see on professional athletes and Olympians. Kinesiology tape is the fastest growing rehab solution in the heath care market today.
Now you can become a Certified Kinesiology Taping Specialist (CKTS™) without ever having to leave your home or practice. The K-Cuts Taping System Certification eCourse is the first of its kind home study program to offer you the most comprehensive means of understanding the amazing world of kinesiology taping. The K-Cuts Taping System eCourse offers you the ultimate educational experience. Unlike other on-line courses that simply run a camera from the back of the room and expect the viewer to get the same experience as the live participant, we took the time to be sure that you feel like you’re actually in the classroom, providing you the best seat in the room. We will periodically step away from the classroom to work with you one on one in the treatment room as well as guide you through up close and personal applications of over 30 common and complicated conditions we most frequently see.
Have you been searching for a modality that will compliment your manual therapy practice?
Are looking for a way to improve patient outcomes as well as overall compliance with your treatment strategy?
Do you want to earn extra revenue without having to do additional hours of work?
Do you want to increase public exposure about your practice?
Additionally, when you purchase the K-Cuts Taping System Certification eCourse you will receive our K-Cuts Taping System Application Book loaded with over 90 pages of full color images of more than 30 easy to follow applications. Along with the book, you will also receive a roll of the kinesiology tape from our good friends at Scrip Hessco/Massage Warehouse.
At the conclusion of this eClass, practitioners will be able to use kinesiology taping to effectively enhance their clinical outcomes and therefor, overall patient satisfaction.
