MPhtySt, BPhty
Ryan earned his Bachelor of Physiotherapy degree from the University of Queensland, Australia, in 1994 and a Masters in Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy under the same world renowned guidance, which included Gwen Jull, Carolyn Richardson, Paul Hodges, and Bill Vicenzino. Ryan has worked extensively in the area of musculoskeletal and sports physiotherapy, with roles including personal physiotherapist to Greg Rusedski, former world No. 4, on the ATP Tennis Tour and British Davis Cup team, and team physiotherapist for Essex County Cricket Club in the United Kingdom. As a private practitioner, he has been involved in the management of European Tour golfers and Olympic and Commonwealth Games athletes in the disciplines of swimming, rowing, fencing, archery, and triathlon, to name a few.
Due to the strong biomechanical nature of the injuries in these sports and the limitations encountered with the available taping products, Ryan set about developing a product that would permit full range of movement but allow genuine mechanical assistance to alter movement patterns or to assist the role of injured tissues. The result was Dynamic Tape(R). Accompanying this was the Dynamic Taping Method, a novel approach to taping based on biomechanical principles and physiology of muscles, ligaments, and connective tissue.
Ryan has also been a clinical tutor for the musculoskeletal component of the Griffith University physiotherapy program. He has had a number of television appearances in Australia, including on the ABC television program The New Inventors, where his PosturePals product won the episode.

Video Runtime: 134 Minutes; Learning Assessment Time: 28 Minutes
The influence of load and various kinematic factors on tendinopathy and other overuse conditions is well documented. In this course, Ryan Kendrick, Australian musculoskeletal physiotherapist and developer of Dynamic Tape(R), explains how taping biomechanically can help in the management of these conditions and also discusses how the application of elastic therapeutic taping can be used to assist function in the pediatric and neurologic populations. Elastic therapeutic taping is a natural extension to the practitioner's clinical reasoning process, and by following a simple procedure, techniques can be developed and integrated into the clinician's treatment approach, making it specific to their client and complementing their manual therapy and exercise-based interventions. This course provides a thorough understanding of the background research, theoretical concepts, and practical application guidelines.
