ONLINE Courses

Multimedia ONLINE training GOAL

The training seminar is ideally a hands-on skill developing classroom experience that teaches this new taping methodology in treatment. NeuroMuscular Taping Institute’s online training programs have been modified to give the best explanation possible, through quality video and filming and teacher explanation for each application in the program. Manual skills are extremely difficult to learn in a multimedia and distant learning experience. The examination process has been widened to cover, as direct as possible, intervention between the teacher and the course participant to encourage skill development and learning. An in-depth online questionnaire covering 125 questions and short answers, with proposed clinical situations, on the NMT treatment methodology and fundamentals of this clear cut treatment program, offers the participant a professional-active learning process. Skill testing takes the participating student through online self applications (with their own model) in small online groups giving each the necessary hands on guided instruction by the teacher.  To encourage an outstanding and productive training we require the maximum collaboration between course students and the teacher. 

KEY POINTS: Online training offers the following aspects; part-time, live-time, interactive, tutor led workshops, to enrich the training process

  • Courses from 18 to 60  hours on line full immersion
  • Tutorial assignments
  • Self and group study group
  • 2 to 4 hour comprehensive examination process
  • 2 to 4 hour NMT Feedback Session 1-3 months post course

In particular the application techniques of neuromuscular taping as part of daily functioning and rehabilitation for patients with neurological 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 in any mobility related condition. 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.

Breast Reconstruction Surgery Rehabilitation

NeuroMuscular Taping Breast Reconstruction Surgery Rehabilitation modules offers a 5 day full immersion training program specific to increase good therapeutic practices.

The literature confirms that the incidence of breast cancer remains very high. One in eight women will be directly effected by breast cancer and there is a precise need for post-surgical rehabilitation and oncological post-treatment. The course aims to train professionals able to manage multidisciplinary rehabilitation treatment, in compliance with specific skills, for the mastectomized patient.

At present the availability of prepared health teams that guarantee a complete approach, which includes surgical reconstruction and cancer therapy, functional aspects, vascular and lymphatic rehabilitation, as well as the management of possible complications, is a high priority for the national public and private health system. Notwithstanding support for the fundamental psychological implications of the disease.

The course has been requested by the medical-surgical world to integrate cancer therapy with effective rehabilitation programs to assist the patient to reach the most complete recovery possible and is aimed at all professionals working in rehabilitation.

Participants will be in continuous contact with the teachers to share the treatment protocols, for pre and post surgical advice and to create good therapeutic practices necessary to overcome not only the tumor, but also the numerous consequent difficulties. A written and practical exam is an integral part of the course to ensure a high level of learning.

Overview

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 clinical situations with in depth review of the anatomy and physiology behind the efficacy of NMT with the dynamics of muscle and joint mecchanics during extreme use of the body. The Laboratory portion will demonstrate applications, tape/patient positioning, taping techniques for use on the upper extremity. 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.
