NeuroMuscular Taping after breast cancer surgery provides a decompression-based adjunct to multidisciplinary rehabilitation following lumpectomy, mastectomy, breast reconstruction and lymph node procedures. By applying elastic tape at 0% therapeutic tension to appropriately elongated tissues, NMT creates a dynamic skin–tape interface intended to support superficial tissue mobility, fluid exchange, continuous sensory input and functional movement without restricting physiological motion.
NeuroMuscular Taping Decompression Therapy provides a systems-based approach to myofascial treatment by addressing the continuous interaction between skin, subcutaneous connective tissue, fascia, interstitial fluid, vascular and lymphatic structures, peripheral sensory input and skeletal muscle. Applied with 0% therapeutic tape tension while the anatomical region is appropriately elongated, NMT creates characteristic skin convolutions when the body returns toward a neutral position. This continuously changing skin–tape interface may modify superficial tissue geometry and sensory input without mechanically forcing or restricting physiological movement.
