Application and Safety Information

This course is intended for educational purposes and demonstrates selected kinesiology taping techniques. The effectiveness of kinesiology taping for specific conditions or complaints in animals has not been sufficiently established by scientific evidence for all areas of application. The techniques presented do not replace veterinary examination, diagnosis, or treatment. In cases of pain, injury, illness, or unexplained symptoms, veterinary advice should be sought before applying kinesiology tape. Tape must not be applied to injured, irritated, or otherwise unsuitable skin. Potential skin reactions and individual sensitivities must be taken into account.

If signs of skin irritation, pain, or discomfort occur, the application should be discontinued and the tape carefully removed. Participation in this course does not provide a state-recognised professional qualification or authorisation to perform veterinary medical procedures.
