| Proprioceptive NeuroMuscular Taping Application in physiotherapy |
||
| NeuroMuscular Taping in physical rehabilitation | ||
| What is Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Taping NMTConcept? | ||
| Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Taping NMTConcept was originally developed as a form of rehabilitation of muscle, neurological and lymphatic conditions sand in the rehabilitation of post operative states. Over the last 5 years in Europe the technique has become a mainstream treatment protocol in hip, knee and shoulder replacement rehabilitation together with aftersurgery care of patients. | ||
| Neuromuscular Taping protocols are used to improve neurorehabilitation of patients suffering with post cerebral trauma paralysis. Taping provides passive stretching through the application of a tape with eccentrical properties encouraging flexibility and coordination and bettering range of movement in patients suffering with excessive muscle contraction. | ||
| History: | ||
| In 2003 David Blow, Australian acupuncturist, developed and popularized an innovative taping technique based eccentric stimulation of the skin, muscle tissue, tendons, neurological vessels, lymphatic and vascular pathways improving their functioning. NeuroMuscular Taping (NMTConcept) is a technique based upon neurofisiologia to improve patient response in clinical treatments. This taping tecnique differs from all other types of taping that already exist in that NMTConcept improves body functioning through facilitating blood circulation and lymphatic drainage in furthermore reduction of pressure on neurological vessels. | ||
| NeuroMuscular Taping is a flexible technique which can be intergrated with many other neurological e physical terapies such as PNF, osteopatia, chiropractic, occupational therapists and all types of therapeutic exercise and manual terapies. | ||
| NeuroMuscular Taping is a method of treatment developed in Europe and successfully used in hospitals and clinics, by doctors, dermatologists and therapists specialised in post-operative, oncological, neurological care of patients and in sports medicine. | ||
| Course objective: | ||
| The course objective is to instruct participants in the manual and tecnical techniques necessary in the application of an elastic non medicated tape on the skin surface. The correct application together with certain characteristics and elasticity of the tape, raises the skin to create more space under the tape itself and induce a reduction of pressure in the interstitium. Once local pressure is reduced lymphatic flow is facilitated from the area of the congestion and blood circulation is activated. | ||
Normal lymphatic drainage is obtained through body movement: the tape, due to the particular way in which it is applied, raises the skin in a wave, amplifying the stretching /contraction effect of the skin itself. Adhesion of the connective tissue due to acute or chronic congestion may be reduced to improve lymphatic flow between the interstitial cells, endothelium of lymphangitis, and connective tissue fibers. |
