About The Course
Introduction to Kinesiology
Kinesiology is the study of movement. Developed in the 1970s by Japanese chiropractor Kenso Kase, kinesiology tape was initially used in human sports medicine for injury prevention, treatment, and performance enhancement. Following its success with humans, Vetkin® tape was devised for equine athletes and has since gained popularity.
Unlike conventional inelastic tape that restricts motion, kinesiology tape allows a full range of movement and enhances bodily functions through a gentle lifting effect on the skin. Its application can affect the skin, nervous systems, fascia, muscles and joints, lymphatic system, and cardiovascular system.
When applied correctly, it reduces pain, stimulates circulation, improves lymphatic drainage, and supports muscles and joints.
Your Teacher
The course is led by Stéphanie van den Bergh (Belgium), an expert equine therapist and seasoned teacher with extensive practical experience.
