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.

Reviews for The Complete Taping Handbook: Biomechanical, Sports Rigid Taping and K-Taping for Manual Therapists

This is a brilliant resource for physiotherapists, osteopaths and sports therapists. I've not seen another book which brings together the three types of tape. The instructions and images are very clear and easy to follow. -- Chris Eggleton, Specialist MSK & Sports Physiotherapist, Lead FCP & Advanced Practice Physiotherapist, EPUT
