NeuroMuscular Taping (NMT)
"The NeuroMuscular Taping (NMT) consists of the application on the skin of an adhesive tape with a particular structure to elastic waves and with characteristics comparable to those cutaneous. Because of these characterises it allows activation of endogenous analgesic, structural and muscular support, vascular and lymphatic activation.~In this study the NMT is applied with decompressive mode on Pectoralis Major, Deltoids, Supraspinatus."
