Product Description
Product Description
Functional taping is now recognised as a skill which is essential for those involved in the treatment and rehabilitation of sports injuries and many other conditions such as muscle imbalances, unstable joints and neural control. This exceptional new "Pocketbook of Taping Techniques" is the replacement for the highly successful text which was also edited by Rose Macdonald. It incorporates all the basic techniques vital to the practice of good taping but also includes chapters on new evidence-based procedures written by experts from around the world. To aid in the development of these techniques, this pocketbook demonstrates many new methods which may be used as indicated or modified to suit the clinical situation.

Format:Paperback
This pocketbook with wipeclean cover, provides a quick reference book of taping techniques for different areas of the body and conditions. An introduction is followed with a literature update, pain relief taping and recent techniques followed by chapters by body area.
Each technique is shown over a spread of two pages, broken up into: indications for use, purpose, materials required, application and any contraindications. This is supported with clear diagrams showing how the tape should be applied. This makes it very simple and clear as to how to apply the techniques. The layout is consistent in style providing easy reference and includes tips, always helpful.
The evidence base provided seems very limited and only covers ankle and patellar taping. From a physiotherapy viewpoint and being an evidence-based profession, it would have been helpful to have seen a more comprehensive literature reference list to support taping use, particularly for other body areas. Perhaps maybe even including the search basic strategy used; which would then provide the reader with an idea of how thorough the literature review had been.
However, overall this book is a concise, clear and easy to use reference book; a useful addition, if lacking a little supporting evidence.

Very handy book to have in your kit bag, it's a great book to refer to. As a therapist you find your own techniques after a while yet it is good to have a point of reference at times and something you can have at hand when you come across an injury that you are not over familiar with. This is where this book comes into its own. The fact that it is wipe able and has a plastic coating means it can withstand being bashed about a bit. As a sport therapist I find it a really useful book.

Format:Paperback
I bought this looking for a book on Kinesio taping, as it came up on the search, and the 2 main books are not available in the UK. However, there is absolutely nothing about K-taping in it. When I showed it to my physio, she immediately bought it off me as she says it is a top book on sports taping techniques by a reputable specialist in that area.
