Acquisition of manual skills and application techniques typical of NMT aimed at removing the congestion of body fluids, improving blood and lymphatic circulation, reducing pain, inflammation and scar adhesions, preventing lymphangitis, promoting recovery of the lymphatic pathways during rehabilitation.

– Determine the correct application for the treatment of patients in acute phase after fracture, distortion and immobilization and in the treatment of edema and vascular pathologies.

DIDACTIC MATERIALS: Study kit, backpack, dermo-pencil, scissors, multicolour tape, Workbook, Certificate and Certification Membership Card (worth 55 euro).

CERTIFICATION PROCESS:

– The course consists of 2 modules of 2 days each, for a total of 4 days of specialization in NMT regarding “orthoses, bandages and plaster room”.

– The single module represents a monothematic update.

– The NMT International Certification will be delivered upon passing the final exam at the end of the course.

– The participant will receive a diploma of qualification for the treatment and management of the rehabilitation process through the NeuroMuscular Taping method.

– The qualification “NMT-integrated treatment of Orthotics, Casting and Splint Rehabilitation ” will be issued to the participant only upon completion of all modules (I °, II °, 32 hours total) with passing of the final exam.

Course attendance is 100% mandatory.

PROFESSIONAL GOAL: The purpose of the specialization training project is to acquire high level rehabilitation skills in the use of NeuroMuscular Taping in on-site, dynamic and interactive training. The courses of the NeuroMuscular Taping Institute allow the participant to acquire the necessary manual skills and techniques of the innovative method, used to manage trauma conditions requiring immobilization specifically patient’s recovery from acute, post-acute and function phases in trauma and orthopedic conditions. The applications that are covered are commonly used during the various stages of rehabilitation, following a clear methodology aimed to remove the congestion of body fluids, improve blood circulation, reduce muscle spasticity, reduce muscle tension, musculoskeletal pain and improve the bodies capacity of healing. Correct applications will improve the contraction/elasticity ratio, increase and improve the joint mobility and neuro-muscular coordination. The participant during the seminar will follow the theoretical development of application techniques obtaining the highest level of skills and qualifications. The NMT classroom setting is 90% practical and 10% theoretical.

Overview

the technical and manual skills provided during the course. In particular the application techniques of neuromuscular taping as part of physical rehabilitation for lower limb trauma, surgical and orthopedic conditions. The course has been developed and designed to expand the theoretical and above all practical and manual learning methods of neuromuscular taping. All courses are extremely popular because they provide a high level of learning and student and professional satisfaction. The NMT Course offers a hands on classroom experience structured as 10% Lecture and 90% Laboratory demonstration and individual practice. The Lecture section covers the clear basis for NeuroMuscular Taping decompression taping in training situations with a rapid review of the anatomy and physiology behind the efficacy of NMT. The Laboratory portion will demonstrate applications, tape/patient positioning, taping techniques for use trauma conditions. The particular training aspect of NMT courses involves the lecturer guiding each student through each application maximizing individual learning curves. All participants are expected to actively participate in every aspect of the practice laboratory. Final certification will be given upon completion of both written and practice examination.
