NeuroMuscular Taping
Introduce
BY DAVID BLOW
What is the NeuroMuscular Taping
concept?
It’s a biomechanical therapy using decompressive
and compressive stimuli to obtain positive effects in
the musculoskeletal, vascular, lymphatic and
neurological systems.
As the tapes form wrinkles and lift the skin, they
facilitate venous and lymphatic drainage, improve
blood circulation, and relieve pain.
They also correct the alignment of joints, support
muscles during movement, and improve stability
and posture.
Features NeuroMuscular Taping
“Most treatment protocols uses a decompression

method to reduce pain and to facilitate
recovery” - explains David Blow – “the correct
use of the tape is to create dilation that will
improve blood flow and lymphatic drainage. This
is the key in a progressive rehabilitation
approach”
Contrary to what happens in other techniques, the

tape is applied in a way that it creates waves and
undulation which is constantly activated through
movement. The '"wave" does not mean it was
applied incorrectly but instead correctly ensuring
that there is improved blood circulation and
oxygenation of the area and by activating a
complete and continuous drainage of the treated
area treated. This is the underlying principal of
action that was created by David Blow in 2003.

7 Days of Taping
Application of an elastic tape

Hypoallergenic adhesive base
Does not leave glue residue
Expect fast and continuous results
Suitable for all skin types and conditions
Contains no drugs or ingredients
Types of Bandaging
Taping – A form of strapping with an application
of an elastic tape on the body surface applied
with pressure to keep the muscle or joint in a
certain position.
Strap Taping – Application of a non-elastic or an
elastic tape for purposes of limiting movement in
a joint, muscle, vascular or lymphatic area.
Compression Bandage – Application of a
specific material to support a dressing over a
damaged area or wound to limit movement.
Types of Bandaging
Dressing – Application of a dressing over a
wound to promote healing and prevent
additional harm to the treated area.
Wraps and Braces – Applications used to help
stabilize an affected area.
Sticking Patch or Band-Aid – Application of a
non-elastic tape to cover a wound and/or
facilitate the assimilation of a medication
(medicated Pain Patch)
Specific application of an elastic tape on the

skin surface following the longitudinal anatomy
of the body
Treatment technique that takes advantage of
the eccentric stimuli that produces a
decompressive action on the treated area
Used for the treatment of any disorder requiring
rehabilitation
Using an elastic tape applied to the skin to

produce an eccentric biomechanical action
This eccentric action created by the tape and is
activated by normal body movement that
produces a dilation effect on the circulatory and
lymphatic systems

Compression and Limited Blood Circulation

AND
Lymphatic Drainage
Basic Concept:
Decompression of the skin, lymphatic and blood
circulatory system, neurological system, muscle,
tendon fiber and joints
To improve blood circulation and lymphatic

drainage
Characteristics of Tape
 Elastics only in its length – 40% over its original length
 Similar to skin elasticity

 10 cm of “tape” will extend to an maximum of 14 cm
 Cotton-based tape with fine elastic fiber only in length
 Allows normal skin transpiration

 Adhesive from a few days to one (1) week and does not
leave any glue residue
 Water resistant
 Constant lymphatic drainage for 24 hours a day
 Biomechanical action
 Does not contain chemical or pharmacological
ingredients
 Similar thickness and weight of skin
 100% hypo-allergic acrylic glue: heat sensitive
 Pre-tensioned on the backing paper 10%
 Not medicated and no latex
 Glue applied in wave form, helping normal body
movement
 Long lasting for 3-4 days depending on condition and
type of application
 Water resistant (Patients can shower)
