Calvert-Painter

This is the first book to cover all three types of taping: sports rigid tape, k-tape, and biomechanical tape.

Taping can be used as an excellent companion to standard treatments and within sport. Each tape has its own unique function and action that can aid patients at different stages of recovery.

The Complete Taping Handbook is a practical, clear guide to understanding taping, its benefits, best practice, and how to use particular types. It’s an essential resource for manual therapists, including physiotherapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, sports therapists, and students.

Use this pioneering text to elevate your practice and unveil the intricacies of taping.
