Deans' stroke musings: Kinesiology Taping, Manual Therapy & NeuroMuscular Re-Activation

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Kinesiology Taping, Manual Therapy & NeuroMuscular Re-Activation

A class for therapists. If this stuff is being taught in a class then there should be enough information out there to have a publicly written stroke protocol. But our fucking failures of stroke associations will not create a database of stroke rehab protocols. Whoops, sorry this instructor is a sports therapist not a neuro-therapist. But the criticism is the same. I was kinesio taped for shoulder, not that I thought it did any good at all.

Workshop Highlights

Gain skills to supplement and support kinesiology taping strategies with manual therapy and neuro-muscular re-activation techniques
Review evidence-based treatments and effective methodology that result in improved functional outcomes
Practice with hands-on labs for upper and lower quadrants
Learn about documentation methods to accurately justify treatment and patient progress

Workshop Description

With a hands-on format, this workshop will empower you to bridge the gap between having the tools and applying them in effective combinations to make a difference in a patient's life while improving outcomes and management of complex clinical pathologies and dysfunctions. Using interactive case-studies, this lab-intensive workshop will guide you through effective treatment strategies using a combination of manual therapy, therapeutic taping, and neuromuscular reactivation techniques that can be used on orthopedic, geriatric, neurological, and sports medicine patients.
This one-day workshop focuses on the most effective taping and proper billing practices to ensure that you are not only able to achieve superior clinical outcomes with your patients but are also able to receive full reimbursement for the services rendered. A test-treat-retest methodology is practiced so that immediate effects of treatments can be modified as needed for optimal effectiveness, and after completing the workshop, you will be able to immediately implement the strategies you learned for immediate positive outcomes.
