It re-trains the muscle

Our primetape can re-educate or correct muscles that have gotten used to an unhealthy way of working or have lost their function. Taping can even correct posture of the neck and head, and according to a 2017 study, it can even help stroke patients improve how they walk.

And if you are asking how is this possible, well, according to physical therapists that may be because of the strange sensation of the tape on your skin that makes you more aware of how you move or stand.


It Enhances Your Performance
