Functional Soft Tissue is a concept to help evaluate, treat, and stabilize soft tissue injuries through several different pathways: provocation, motion, resistance, functional positions or activities and proprioception. All of these pathways are neurological bombardments of the central nervous system which lead to the ultimate Control-Alt-Delete and reset of all of those tissues to allow for proper neurological function. - Dr. Greg Doerr

Even with continuous use and the latest developments, taping still continues to get a bad rap about not being an effective form of healing the body's muscle tissues.
However, there is, in fact, many beneficial uses of taping to help you move better and heal faster.
In Wellness Force Radio 168, chiropractic, lecturer, owner of Bergen Chiropractic and Sports Rehabilitation Center, and developer of Functional Soft Tissue, FTMI and FAKTR, Dr. Greg Doerr uncovers the truth behind how taping helps as long as you follow the "if this, then that" methodology that was taught to him by Dr. Tim Brown.
Tune in and learn the many benefits of taping for the human body including:
Functional Soft Tissue is a resource to train clinicians to evaluate and treat motion. We offer an extensive video library with two HD video collections – Soft Tissue and Taping.
Functional Soft Tissue featuring Functional and Kinetic Treatment with Rehab (FAKTR) with Gregory H. Doerr, DC, CCSP is a 14.5-hour hands-on seminar including an introduction to movement and kinetic chain evaluation in the treatment of soft tissue dysfunction, the use of FAKTR Concepts, and Rehabilitation for soft tissue remodeling.
Functional Taping for Musculoskeletal Injuries (FTMI) with Gregory H. Doerr, DC, CCSP is a 12-hour hands-on course designed to demonstrate several different taping techniques to be used on a number of musculoskeletal injuries of the spine, upper extremity, and lower extremity. Dr. Doerr has been certified in kinesiotaping, spider tech, SPRT, and has developed many of his own signature taping styles. He has over 16 years of clinical taping experience.
"A lot of people are taping, but actually don't even know what they're doing. First of all, you need to know whether or not taping is right for the situation by following different algorithms. The initial step is deciding whether or not you have an area that's dysfunctional." - Dr. Greg Doerr
"I'm the hugest placebo on the planet. I'm upbeat, happy, and smiley. I have this constant high energy that would actually put a patient in a positive, emotional state. When someone can transpire that type of excitement, happiness, and energy to a patient, that patient will want to get better." - Dr. Greg Doerr
"Since taping is a neurological stimulation, there's no such thing as sham taping. Whether you put the tape from top to bottom, across, or on a diagonal, you're still going to touch the same exact skin receptors. So, the significant change between somebody who's sham taped for somebody who's taped, it's not going to be large enough to make taping look like a relevant form of treatment. That's why we need better research on taping." - Dr. Greg Doerr
"All of our injuries start with poor mechanical posture. When we talk about proper posture, everyone immediately thinks about the spine. However, every single body part needs good posture: the shoulder, the hip, the knee, foot, and ankle. All of these have their own neutral posture position and we can assist them with taping techniques." - Dr. Greg Doerr
"We cannot eliminate stress from our lives, but we can have proper outlets for it. Television is not a proper outlet, but exercise and music are proper outlets. Ask yourself if you're finding ways to actually relieve your stress so that you can create some kind of balance within your own brain. That is our greatest challenge; trying to find some type of homeostasis within our mental well-being." - Dr. Greg Doerr
