Performance Taping
What is Performance Taping?
Performance Taping, a form of performance therapy, involves applying strips of elastic kinesiology tape known as Performance Tape on the skin to enhance muscle function. Unlike conventional athletic taping, Performance Taping is designed to allow the body to move freely without restrictions. This technique can help balance muscle firing patterns and improve joint function, making it a popular choice among amateur, Olympic, and professional athletes. By using Performance Taping, you can enhance the quality of your patient’s movement and the overall efficiency of your program design.
What is involved?
After a thorough functional evaluation, Performance Tape is strategically placed over the muscles to either amplify or diminish muscle activation. The goal is to optimize motor recruitment to enhance the quality of movement during prescribed exercises.
How does it work and why is it effective?
Performance Taping is effective because it influences the specialized nerve receptors in the skin and the underlying fascia through the gentle pulling action of the tape during movement. This interaction helps normalize motor function and significantly improves the quality of movement.
