Hi Ethan,
Thanks, again, for a great FMT I Class this past Tuesday in Berkeley.
I’ve been playing with the tape and learning a lot!
I want to share some of what I learned with my colleagues and clients, especially the FMRI video of tape on the quad that you showed in class. I’ve looked on-line but am unable to find it.
It’s such a powerful source of evidence of the tape’s functionality, is it something you could email me?

Hi,
I saw the comment about the FMRI findings when tape is applied to the quads? I was hoping to see this video too if possible?
Kind regards,
