Teaching Method
In order to achieve optimal understanding and clinical application of Kinetic Flossing, the maximum number of participants will be 20 individuals. There will be two Kinetic Flossing®Clinical Instructors, one acting as basic instructor, and the other as assistant instructor. Theory presentations will be done with the aid of PowerPoint and videos. At the end of the theoretical course, there will be a practical application of techniques up to the point where participants can perform them without flaws.
Participation Requirements
Candidates desiring to participate in KINETIC Flossing training seminar are required to have:
• Theoretical knowledge of the anatomy and kinesiology of the human body,
• A Health Science bachelor of Science
• Any prior experience in soft tissue mobilization techniques will be helpful for better understating the seminar.
Furthermore, all participants will receive teaching material that will include videos, images and texts, which they can consult for any questions past the completion of the seminar. At the end of the seminar, participants will be evaluated through a short oral or written examination.
