2012 PREVIEW ISSUE CSM 2012 daily news 9 Dynamic Taping: A Taping Revolution Launched in Australia a little over 12 months ago, Dynamic Tape and the accompanying Dynamic Taping method have been quickly embraced by PT’s and Manual Therapists of all backgrounds. So much so that it is already available in thirteen countries throughout Australasia, Europe and now North America. “Once you understand the properties of the tape and how it can be used to absorb load, mimic the action of injured muscles or to modify movement patterns, you can begin to develop your own techniques specific to your client’s needs and based on your own treatment approach whether that be Mulligan, McKenzie, MET, Brugger, etc.” said Ryan Kendrick, Australian musculoskeletal physiotherapist. “I think that this along with the strong biomechanical focus explains the rapid expansion. It really is just an extension of the clinical reasoning process so a PT can attend a live workshop or take the free eLearning and immediately incorporate it into their clinical practice.” James Moore M.Phty(Manips). MSc Applied Biomechanics, BSc(Hons), MCSP, CSCS, Consultant Physiotherapist at UK Athletics, the English Rugby Football Union and the Gilmore Groin & Hernia Clinic, Harley Street, London, was quick to adopt the new technology. “I have been using Dynamic Tape now for approximately one year with my elite athletes, in conjunction with other taping methods. I find that the Dynamic Tape is able to offer an elastic recoil and efficiency to aid in the rehab phase where other tapes fall short. This has a profound influence on the force-velocity relationship of the muscle and thus will increase the mechanical efficiency, reduce the workload and improve the metabolic capacity of the tissues and structures being rehabilitated,” he explained. To learn more about Dynamic Taping and the scientific basis take our free e-learning session at www.dynamictape.com or contact your local Patterson Medical Rep (0800-3235547) for a demonstration. Product News Spend Your Summer at Bay Cliff Health Camp! Therapy—it’s what makes Bay Cliff very unique. There is no other program like it—anywhere! Each year, 170 children and 130 staff travel to Michigan’s Lake Superior shore to spend the summer together. Maybe this is the summer you’ll join us! The camp session is eight weeks in length, including a week of staff orientation. Campers, ages 3-17, enthusiastically arrive ready to share and work hard towards their goals. Through a combination of daily therapy and traditional camp activities, campers achieve greater independence. It is often said, “Everything is Therapy at Bay Cliff!” This is because the skills learned in therapy are practiced throughout camp. Therapy carryover is emphasized and encouraged by all staff – from flag raising to star gazing, from walking to meals to wheeling up the trail after time on the beach… strength is built, motor skills are fine-tuned, speech becomes clearer, confidence grows and many new abilities are discovered. Join Bay Cliff ’s therapy team and dedicate your summer towards helping children achieve their goals & dreams. This is a wonderful opportunity to share your knowledge, improve your clinical skills and spend time with children with physical impairments “outside” of therapy too! We look for staff that enjoy working collaboratively and have a huge heart. Our therapists come from a variety of settings and their experiences range from new graduates to pediatric clinical specialists. Staff members often say they learn more than the campers do—and our campers learn a lot! Salary, comfortable housing and home-cooked meals are provided. Assistance is provided towards Michigan licensure as well. If you are at CSM, please visit us at Booth #156. Also visit our website: www.baycliff.org.
