Went to a fabulous lecture at the weekend from Harrow-based osteopath Tom Hewetson, who has been team osteopath to both London Wasps and England U18 rugby teams.

We covered athletic taping/strapping techniques and fundamentals as well as looking at the fascinating world of K-Tape or kinesio-tape. This is a technique that is taking the sporting world by storm but also has limitless possibilities in a non-sporting environment. Next time you see an athlete wearing black, pink or blue tape on their arm, leg, back or shoulder – that’s K-Tape.

Tom’s written a book which comes highly recommended. You can buy it through Amazon: An Illustrated Guide To Taping Techniques: Principles and Practice.
