The course content includes practical examples of the use of rigid and elastic tapes by the teacher. Students then work in pairs and apply tapes according to the instruction manual and accompanying literature. The teacher makes a possible correction.
The student will get an idea of the possibilities of using rigid and elastic tapes to solve selected functional and structural disorders of the musculoskeletal system.
