Overview four basic techniques
1. Muscle-technik
•
•
•
•
Messurment in a stretched position
Apply the base in a neutral postion
Stretch the muscle and the tissues
Apply the tape with no stretch
2. Ligament-technik
•
•
•
•
Open the release papier
Take the tape aat the two outside
bases and stretch the tape
Stretch the middle part as much as
you wish and apply at the skin
Apply both ends with no tension
3. Fascia-technik
•
•
•
Apply the base in a neutral position
of the fascia
Pull the base and bring the skin in
a wished position
The „free“ base follows the tales
4. Correctional-technik

Pictures 4/5: Finished application.
Effects:
• By stretching the tape, energy will storage in the tape. After the
application this energy will bring the tape and the tissues a little in
direction of the middle.
• Depending on the stretch you will get stabilation or space.

Effects:
By pulling the tales the base will following this direction and the skin and the fascia could
changed in a „wished“ postion. With this application you will get change of the positioning
and tension of the skin, fascia and other tissues.
The Y-shape you especially can use for pain points. You can put it in the middles of the Y.

Effects:
By fixing the base, the power of the tales will come back to the base.(rubber effect). With this
application you can change positioning and tension of skin, fascia, soft tissures, but also
bones like the patella.
With this application you can get more structural and sensitive input for as with the fasciatechnique.

“Remodeling” of our body
Basic idea:
• Posture and body shape are expression of our general somatically, energetic
and emotional situation and could deliver us a diagnostic reference.
• Also scars and zones could be possible key points, which we also can
integrete in the diagnostic considerations.
Diagnose:
• Such identificate areas we can change by our hands and can test, whether a
pain and / or a restricted movement will be better.
• If the situation will be better, than it seems, that this area is a key area for the
problem and for that we can treat and tape this area.
Therapy:
• Shrinkings
Areas, which are going internal, we have to bring therapeutical outside.
• Expensions
Areas, which are going outside, we have to bring therapeutical inside.
Retest:
• The test after the appliation should bring better resulst in case of pain and / or
movement.

Effect in the distance
Global relations of the human body – holistic view:
• Everything is connected with everything
• Exchange of informations between e.g. nerves, hormons,
myofascial systems, meridians, etc..
• Dyfunction, overuse, injury, operation, diseases can be shown and
have an influence in different areas of the body, even in the
distance
Diagnostic possibilities:
• By special tests, you can find such connection in the distance.
• So it is possible, to find key points, over them you have influence
to the problems and its solutions for the body.
Therapeutical transfer:
• Theses founded connected areas /points you can use for your
therapy and / or taping to fullfil the „wishes of the body“.

Disorders / dysfunktion of the thoracal spines, the rips and the internalorgans
could provocate in the distance pain, reduced movements other other problems.
By sticking the tape in this region you can activate different systems and therefor
you can reduce problems local,but also in the distance.

Functional or symptomatic test
Target of the test:
• Identification of e.g. the speed of the movement, the range of motion or the
limitation of the movement.
• Identifications of possible reasons for the problems like scars, fibrosis,
disordered shearing of fascia, shrinking, expansions, internal organs,
segment, etc..
• To define the pain: when, where, how
Procedure:
• The painful and / or limited movement can be done active, passive or
assisted
• The painful and / or limited movement will be defined and used as an
indicator
• By touching with the hand in different regions of the body (local- distance) you
will change body structures. Then by repeating the movement, you will ask the
body, the change of this structure will lead to a better or not better situation
Results:
• By these tests you can find key points for these problems, which could be
local or in the distance..
• These key points will lead you to therapy and / or taping
Retest:
• The retest after the treatment or taping should bring positive results – less
pain, more mobility, more functionality - as otherwise the points were not the
