This course is designed to give participants an introduction to using elastic tape to address organ dysfunction. What organ dysfunction entails will be described for a full understanding.

The various tape possibilities we have to address include:

• Pain and discomfort caused by primary dysmenorrhea with elastic therapeutic tape on related organ-zone (demonstrated in the course);
• That tape can help with bowel and bladder dysfunction (this will not come as a surprise for those of you familiar with Bindegewebsmassage according to colleagues Mrs. E. Dicke and Doctor H. Teilrich Leube.
