The Kinesio® Taping techniques introduced tous were primarily adult focused for pain management, sports, and rehabilitation. In December, 2000 we participated in the Kinesio® Taping Instructors course. ‘The positive results that occurred from taping our family, friends and co-workers eventually gave us the courage to tape the children we treat. We have been guided in our clinical experience in pediatrics to develop additional techniques as well as to refine the taping techniques for varied pediatric concerns. We have also combined other therapeutic interventions in conjunction with taping; such as splinting, compression bracing, and casting. It is our hope that this book conveys treatment for children in a practical and understandable manner. This book is designed to describe the taping procedure by outlining specific taping techniques, step-by-step. The accompanying photographs help to clarify these procedures. We also caution that Kinesio® Tex Tape application does carry some risk. We recommend taking a Kinesio® Taping course and collaborating with other professionals who have experience with the Kinesio® Taping applications. While teaching throughout the country, we have met many talented pediatric therapists who have incorporated the Kinesio® Taping Method into their specialty areas. ‘The excitement of taping pediatric clients has been overwhelming. Our hope is that clinical practitioners learn to enhance the management of the pediatric population based on sound clinical rationale and proper taping technique. We encourage clinicians to continue to develop diagnosis-specific taping techniques for the pediatric population and to share this with the Kinesio® Taping practitioners. Lastly, we are grateful for the opportunity to learn and collaborate with ow Kase, in the development of this pediatric Kinesio® Taping book. “sensei”, Dr. Trish Martin Audrey Yasukawa Poem 7) Pa = a = S [am ea a = (=) 4 4 oO
