NOC; Tehran: Athletic taping is recognized as an effective therapeutic method
for sports-related injuries, commonly employed by sports physiotherapy specialists.
Driven by the growing need within the sports medicine community for proficiency
in taping – a valuable approach for both injury prevention and management – and
in response to a request from Shahid Beheshti University’s faculty, the
workshop was organized. The session, which included hands-on instruction, was
led by Hossein Ghasemabadi, a physiotherapist at the National Olympic Academy’s
Sports Medicine Center. The participants comprised third and fourth-year sports
medicine fellows from Shahid Beheshti University.
Attendees
received practical training on various sports taping applications, including
the use of rigid sports tape and kinesiology tape, focusing on their
utilization in common sports injury sites. Earlier in the day, participants met
with Dr. Laleh Hakimi, Director of the National Olympic Academy’s Sports
Medicine Center. During this introductory session, they were briefed on the
workshop’s structure and gained insights from Dr. Hakimi’s extensive experience
in sports medicine.
