This will allow students to be qualified Kinesio Taping practitioners at the end of their degree courses.

Sarah qualified as a Certified Kinesio Tape Practitioner (CKTP) in 2012. In addition to working part-time with North Ferriby’s players, Sarah  works in both the University’s injuries clinic and sport rehabilitation department and is currently studying for a PhD. 

Kinesio Taping can help sports injuries, muscular complaints, swelling and joint pain. The tape is a brightly coloured or black therapeutic, stretchy taping. It is important to know how apply it correctly because the tape's effects differ depending on how much tension or "pull-back" is created.

Sarah commented, "I first became aware of Kinesio tape in 2008, with the Beijing Olympics, and saw this product become increasingly popular among the elite athletes.

“Since I qualified as a Kinesio Taping practitioner in 2012, I've used it to great effect at North Ferriby and also clinically at the university on so many different people with different injuries.”
