Meeting Dates in 2020

Mar 16 Meeting – Kinesio Taping
On Saturday 16th March we have Jeanne Everett of Hadenham Healthcare who will be demonstrating Kinesio taping.
Kinesio Taping was developed in the 1970’s by the Japanese chiropractor Kenzo Kase
The idea behind the tape is to apply a gentle lift on the skin, which then allows the lymphatic vessels underneath to absorb and drain lymphatic fluid from the oedematous area into an area with sufficient lymphatic drainage. The goal of this method is to re-direct the flow of lymph from a congested area into an area with sufficient lymphatic flow, thus reducing the volume of the oedematous area.
