TNM Manual

More about the book

In recent years the neuromuscular taping technique called TNM, or Medical Taping Concept, has gained a distinct position in therapies in Europe. Josya Sijmonsma has succeeded in providing a lucid survey of the various techniques used in TNM in this book on taping for (para)medics, physiotherapists, sports therapists and kinesiologists. Clear explanations of the theoretical foundations and practical applications of the taping methods are followed by an exhaustive and varied list of possible applications for disorders affecting posture and movement. The book's logical structure, step-by-step explanations acompanied by colour pictures and appendix makes it an extremely practical and inspirational manual for therapists dealing with real-life cases. The TNM technique 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 possibilities for treatment are extensive and varied.
