SYNERGY Performance Taping Basics
The Synergy Performance Taping method works by affecting the specialized nerve receptors of the skin and the underlying fascia through the gentle tugging action the tape offers after appropriate application and during movement. The unique application technique influences neurological structures in a way that results in improved muscle function and improved quality.
Synergy Performance Taping method involves placing strips of elastic kinesiology tape on the skin to improve muscle function. Synergy Performance Taping, unlike conventional athletic taping, is applied in a manner that allows the body to move freely without restriction. Synergy Performance Tape has been used by amateur, Olympic and professional athletes to help optimize performance. This taping procedure can help improve the quality of your clients’ movements and improve the efficiency of your program design.
After a functional evaluation, Synergy Performance Tape is placed over the muscles in a manner to either increase or decrease muscle activation. The intention is to optimize motor recruitment in order to improve the quality of movement of prescribed exercises.
