Glossary

Functional taping is now recognised as a skill which is essential for those involved in the treatment and
rehabilitation of sports injuries and many other conditions such as muscle imbalances, unstable joints and neural
control. This exceptional new Pocketbook of Taping Techniques is the replacement for the highly successful text which
was also edited by Rose Macdonald. It incorporates all the basic techniques vital to the practice of good taping but
also includes chapters on new evidence-based procedures written by experts from around the world. To aid in the
development of these techniques, this pocketbook demonstrates many new methods which may be used as indicated or
modified to suit the clinical situation.
