Treating without Pain: Improving Outcomes for Common Conditions of the Upper Extremity

You will be required to:

• bring along sharp scissors (preferably Teflon coated) for taping labs.
• dress comfortably for lab sessions, and wear loose fitting shorts and a tank top or halter top.
• wear comfortable clothing over lab attire, so you are not cold during lecture sessions.

It is recommended that you:

• bring an anatomy book, if you have one.
• do not apply moisturizing lotion or use Dove®/moisturizing soap the day of the course as the tape will not adhere to your skin properly.
