Acti-Tape Taping Class

Hi,

I hope you're having a good start to your week.  I'm feeling great.  Monday is typically a day I work from home and it's been a good day too.

I'm excited about a class I took this past weekend.  It was a therapeutic taping class, specifically using Acti-tape.  What is this tape?  It's an elastic tape designed to help people heal.  It promotes circulation, reduces heat in tissues, relieves pain, reduces inflammation, can draw out a bruise, excellent for breaking up scar tissue, help with structural support, help the fluid to move in the spine and there's even a taping protocol that can help with hay fever.  There's a taping set-up that can assist with carpal tunnel syndrome (want to avoid surgery??  This may be a huge help).  The tape is great to assist with lymphatic drainage also...and other uses as well.

Taping for Frozen Shoulder support
The tape has evolved from athletic trainers tables in pro sports and International and Olympic competitions to being available for use by Chiropractors, Physical Therapists and even Massage and Holistic Therapists like myself, to use on people who can benefit from it.

Taping for Lymphatic Swelling support
The tape is strong, elastic and can stay on up to 16 days.  As it starts to peel, you trim it down, until the last piece falls off.

The tape is great for shoulder support issues, weak muscles, and amazing for helping drainage (like for people who've had lymph nodes removed and need assistance with lymph drainage).

Taping to assist with inflammation of the bursae in the elbow.

Tape for Lymphatic Swelling and Inflammation in the Shoulder Blade area.
There's even a taping set-up to assist with Carpal Tunnel syndrome.  The tape is applied in such a way that it takes the pressure off the nerves that get inflamed in the carpal tunnel and allows them to heal.  It also supports the muscles in the wrist, palm and forearm.


I'm really excited to add this therapeutic modality to my holistic practice.  A little about the instructor - his name is Rod Lyman.  He's an Holistic and Massage Therapist here in Phoenix.  He and his wife own Beyond Today Co. (where I rent space for my practice).  Rod teaches a lot of classes, is a master of massage, energy work, and is now opening an on-line school - where people can take classes on-line.  I'll be posting my classes on-line as well (more to come on that soon).

So - if you need a taping - let me know.  I'm here to serve.

Have a great week.  Enjoy life, help others, and remember - a little gratitude is a good thing.

Peace,

Tom
