In my opinion, this manual is a really good clinical guide for therapists that are already acquainted with the kinesio taping method. It describes some techniques in step-by-step way and it also brings some associations of the kinesio taping method with other taping techniques. However, I must say that I've expected more about the book material and lay-out of the components, since it is black and white. Even though, I must say that these considerations do not make it difficult to read and understand it. I recommend!

I've been working with Kinesiology tape for a while now due to chronic back pain that I have. This manual is very nice because of the large pictures and the details in how and when/what diagnosis to use the kinesio tape. If you know nothing about kinesiology tape then it might be slightly over your head, but not much. As long as you have a reg IQ you should be fine.

This is a very comprehensive, detailed book on full body kinesio taping. The pictures are in black and white, but are still clear, and the instructions are detailed and variable to accomodate different types of injuries. From what I've seen, this is the best taping book currently available online.

HOWEVER...This book is fairly useless if you don't already have a fundamental knowledge of anatomy. If you are personal trainer, med student, or anyone who has studied anatomy for any other reason, this is the book for you. If not, it will be marginally helpful, but not much more.

This company has a very strict return policy on books and other merchandise. If you purchased it, you can't return it. The book quality is poor. All the pictures are in black and white which makes it very difficult to follow the techniques used.

This book is everything I wished it would be. The first section is dedicated to the science behind the tape application. Following that are clear and orderly instructions to the proper application of Kinesio tape.

This book was a great resource for techniques beyond the basic kinesion tape style. Some of the techniques were difficult to implement with the instructions provided. I have this book at work (rehab setting) and I bought one to have at home.

This book is double the price here, look else where and you will find it for less than $33.

DO NOT PURCHASE THIS BOOK UNTIL YOU CHECK THE PRICES ELSEWHERE!!!!! I initially thought I was getting a good deal (I even told the seller so in their review) as the book is very informative and full of illustrations. It is an excellent book and I would recommend it. However, now after searching the web, I found that this exact same book is some for $32.95 EVERYWHERE else. I should not have bought this book the first place I saw it. I feel like I have been robbed. I feel so stupid for not checking the prices, I know the prices on amazon are pretty competitive so i didnt bother. This price is more than double ANYWHERE else. If I didn't get anything else out of this experience, I got a lesson in shopping around first before you let your excitement lead you to make a bad purchase.

I keep this book with me at all times and it's a great resource with decent black & white pictures - a must for any doc, resident or student using this therapy.

This is a wonderful book for an amazing technique! So happy to have this in my "PT toolbox" !!! I am taking the class this month and hope to get certified!
