Kinesio Tape is a technique based on the body's natural healing process. It is designed to cause physiological effects on body systems like circulatory, neural, muscular and fascial systems. Kinesio Tape was developed in 1963 in Japan and introduced to the US in the 1990s. It is used by physical therapists and other medical practitioners to reduce pain, relax muscles, improve posture and support muscles. Common applications include injuries to the back, knees, shoulders and other areas. The tape works by lifting skin and creating space for improved lymph and nerve function to aid healing. Contraindications include allergies, infections, diabetes and kidney problems.

A programming framework for powerlifting coaches and athletes. This presentation will touch on yearly periodization, general prep work, specific prep work, and tapering for competitions.
Kinesio taping is a rehabilitative method and in order to be used properly should be applied by a trained professional with appropriate knowledge of anatomy and muscle fibers. Since it’s a technique, the amount of pull, the direction of the tape and even the length of tape is customized to specific physical therapy goals. What’s cool about the tape is that it’s not restrictive, so it provides support without inhibiting range of motion.
Elastic Therapeutic Tape and the Foot Care ProfessionalRockTape
As foot care professionals, sometimes our advice and treatment are undermined by patients resuming the same activities that landed them in our offices in the first place. How exciting would it be to have a sticky, stretchy little assistant that reminded our patients for 2-5 days about positional awareness? Enter.... elastic therapeutic tape!

While individually prescribed exercise programs are often the bread and butter of a physical therapy plan of care, there is no denying that technological advances in physical therapy tools have a place in the clinic also.
RockTape and Crossfit: Keeping the Athlete 'In The Game'RockTape
CrossFit athletes are different from average weekend warriors. They are of all sizes, ages, and athletic back- grounds. They like to train for fitness and make it a lifestyle. Unlike those who work out in a big box gym, these athletes surround themselves with like-minded individuals, which creates a cool community and “team.”
As a general term, traction means pulling on part of the body.
Most often, traction uses mechanical force (sometimes generated by weights and pulleys) to put tension on a displaced bone or joint, such as a dislocated shoulder, to put it back in position and keep it still. In the medical field, traction refers to the practice of slowly and gently pulling on a fractured or dislocated body part. It’s often done using ropes, pulleys, and weights. These tools help apply force to the tissues surrounding the damaged area.

Do We Make Taping More Complicated Than It Needs ToBe?RockTape
Kinesiology tape (K-tape) is gaining popularity with healthcare providers, patients, and athletes. I have used K-tape for more than 10 years, but it wasn’t until the 2008 summer Olympics that my patients started requesting that I use K-tape as a treatment modality. As a sports chiropractor who was also an athletic trainer, I had been using different types of tape already with the main goal of locking down a joint for support.
Lymphascial Kinesiotaping for Post-Surgical Recovery written by Clare Anvar M...Mary Fickling
Kinesiology taping was originally invented in the 1970’s by Korean chiropractor, Kenzo Kase. It is probably best known in the UK for its use in sports medicine, where the colourful tapes are worn by
athletes for musculoskeletal correction .
Lymphascial taping is an application method for Kinesiology tape, which has been developed specifically to enhance current best practice for post-surgical recovery. It can be used alongside physiotherapy, manual lymphatic drainage and myofascial release to speed results, or as a standalone treatment

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

2. What is Kinesio Tape?
Kinesio Taping is a technique based on the
body’s own natural healing process.
The Kinesio Taping Method is designed to cause
physiological effects on several body systems. The
systems affected are thought to include the
circulatory/lymphatic, neural, muscular, and fascial
systems, as well as the joints.
3. Historical stations
For the first 10 years, orthopedists, chiropractors,
acupuncturists and other medical practitioners
were the main users of Kinesio Taping. Soon
thereafter, Kinesio Taping was used by the
Japanese Olympic volleyball players and word
quickly spread to other athletes. Today, Kinesio
Taping is used by medical practitioners and
athletes around the world. The first application of
Kinesio Taping was for a patient with articular
disorders.
Going back to more ancient time Kinesio tape® (KT)
was developed in Japan by Dr. Kenzo Kase in 1963
and was introduced to the United States in the
1990’s.
4. Benefits of Kinesio
Tape
Kinesio Tape is used for anything
from headaches to foot problems
and everything in between.
Examples include:
muscular facilitation or inhibition in pediatric patients,
carpal tunnel syndrome, lower back strain/pain
(subluxations, herniated disc), knee conditions,
shoulder conditions, hamstring, groin injury, rotator
cuff injury, whiplash, tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis,
patella tracking, pre and post surgical edema, ankle
sprains, athletic preventative injury method, and as a
support method.
5. Cont. Benefits on
using Kinesio Tape
Kinesio Taping is currently being
used by therapists to:
Change muscle tone, move
lymphatic fluids (e.g., remove the
build-up of lymphatic fluid), correct movement
patterns, and improve posture.
The Kinesio Taping Method is applied over muscles to
reduce pain and inflammation, relax overused tired
muscles, and to support muscles in movement on a
24hr/day basis.
Kinesio tape is also working on relieve pain or
abnormal feeling on the skin, and correct
joint misalignment by helping muscles work better.
6. Who is using Kinesio
Tape?
Physical therapists,
Occupational therapists,
Certified athletic trainers,
Chiropractors,
Physicians,
Manual therapists,
Nurses,
and physiotherapists around the world are using
Kinesio Tape for many dysfunctions on a wide
spectrum from temporomandibular joint (TMJ)
disorder to turf toe.
Today, though Kinesio Tex Tape is used primarily by
nonathletic populations, it is also used by high-profile
athletes.
7. Mode of action of Kinesio
Tape
Kinesio Tape theories are restricted in the following:
Theory I.
On skin, the Kinesio Tape pulls the upper layers of skin, creating
more space between the dermis and the muscle. The space
created is believed to relieve pressure on the lymph channels in
the area between the muscle and the dermis, creating more
space for lymph flow and thus better lymph drainage through
an affected area.
This space also houses various nerve receptors that send
specific information to the brain, especially when human body
exposes to an injury. Kinesio Tape alters the information that
these receptors send to the brain and causes a less reactive
response in the body, allowing the body to work in a more
normal manner and removing some of the roadblocks that
normally slow down the healing process.
8. Cont. Mode of action
Theory II.
Kinesio Tape is also felt to affect deeper tissues in the
body. Increased space theoretically gives muscles
greater contractility, which in turn pushes more fluid
through the muscle, resulting in better muscle
performance. The end results are believed to be
reduced muscle fatigue, increase in range of motion,
and better quality of muscle contraction.
Theory III.
Kinesio Tape is used to improve joint alignment by
affecting the muscles and fascia and can reduce poor
function of a joint by influencing opposing muscle
groups and joint mobility.
9. Techniques of Kinesio
Taping
The most commonly used types of tape include:
white athletic tape, McConnell tape, and some
variations of elastic tape.
White athletic tape is the most common taping
technique used in injury prevention and to support
acute injuries. Athletic tape limits joint movement
and is not used for rehabilitative purposes because
of its rigid, supportive characteristics that do not
allow the weakened or injured muscles to heal and
function properly.
The McConnell tape is an adhesive, super-rigid
tape, primarily used for its improvements in
neuromuscular re-education.
10. Cont. Techniques of Kinesio
The application of Kinesio tape® is rather simple and
is always applied based on the treatment goals.
When targeting a weak muscle it is important to
apply the tape from the specific muscles origin to its
insertion with a 25-50 percent tension to facilitate
the muscles proper function. To relieve a muscle
spasm, the tape is applied from the muscles insertion
to origin with 15-25 percent tension.
r large and long areas, such as the bicep and triceps
muscle.
11. Cont. Techniques of Kinesio
Specific cut shapes of KT are designed to allow for
optimal responses. An “X” strip, “Y” strip, and ‘I”
strip all seek various results.
The size and shape of the targeted muscles depict
which type of KT strip will be applied.
The “I” shaped KT application is used for small
areas, such as the teres minor or rhomboid minor,
whereas “Y” shaped application is used for large
areas such as pectoralis major or the deltoid. The
“X” shaped application is used fo
