The Neuro Muscular Taping technique, developed in Japan and Korea, is based on treatment using a specific elastic tape. By applying the elasticity of the tape in different ways, it can influence the body at different levels. The taping techniques may be combined with each other, so that the possibilities for treatment are extremely extensive and varied, enabling you to treat a limitless variety of conditions. In recent years, the Neuro Muscular Taping technique called Taping Neuro Muscolar (TNM or Medical Taping Concept in Northern Europe) has gained a distinct position in therapies in Europe and Africa. Until now, there were no comprehensive reference books available. Josya Sijmonsma has succeeded in providing a lucid and readable survey of the various techniques used in the TNM in this book on taping for (para)medics, physiotherapists, sports therapists and kinesiologists. In this book clear explanations of the theoretical foundations and practical applications of the taping methods help you understand easily how to use this therapy. These are followed, in the final chapter, by an exhaustive and list of the varied and many possible applications for disorders affecting posture and movement. This final chapter also explains how the different TNM techniques can be combined with each other. The book's logical structure and appendix makes it an extremely practical and inspirational manual for therapists dealing with real-life cases.
