KINESIO TAPING COURSES
As a Certified Kinesio® Taping Instructor (CKTI), Linley offers multiple Kinesio taping courses throughout the year. The formal education programme for practitioners is in three parts with the first two parts KT1 and KT2 being covered over two days. After completing a KT1-2 course practitioners are eligible to attend the third part or the programme KT3 which is held over two days. Practitioners who have completed the KT3 programme are then eligible to sit a written examination and (upon passing) become a Certified Kinesio® Taping Practitioner (CKTP).

KT3 COURSE : COMPLEX CLINICAL CONDITIONS AND MUSCLE COMBINTAIONS
As KT3 expands on the information taught in KT1-2 it is recommended that a suitable gap to "practise" is left between attending the KT1-2 and KT3 courses.
In this advanced course, complex conditions are investigated including direct tie ins to the work of others such as Vleeming's muscle tests, Tom Myers' Anatomy Trains, the Mulligan Concept and the use of Real Time Ultrasound.
