Today we are excited to announce the launch of our first online course and to celebrate we want to give you a first glimpse + an OrthoCanada member only discount! 

Before we give away all the goods – let’s chat. 

Low back pain during pregnancy is really common and can be frustrating to treat!

I know you have many effective tools in your toolkit, including manual therapy, education and exercise prescription.

But, what else can we do for these patients? 

Hint - its simple, cheap and results in:

• Improved Muscle Function
• Reduced Edema
• Joint Support
• Reduced Pain
• Happy Patients!

The technique?
 
K-Tape
 
What I found most interesting about the technique is that it uses our bodies' largest organ to our advantage - the skin!

Our mechanoreceptors pick up the change of the pressure on the skin, our nociceptors quiet down and our proprioceptors change the messages to the brain.

What a fascinating (and simple way) to affect change. Watch this complimentary preview of the course to learn more about the effect of tape on the skin.
