Rocktape is a revolutionary new type of therapeutic kinesiology taping product designed to aid in the treatment and healing of various sports injuries, as well as improve physical performance. Rocktape not only works wonders for injuries but also assists in coordination and movement. Rocktape also delays fatigue so athletes can keep optimal form and performance.

 

Rocktape is the duct tape of the human body because it is so versatile. It can be used to compress or decompress an area, depending on it’s application. It can be used to promote blood flow, or it can be used to help drain swelling. It can be used to decrease pain, but can also be used to increase your awareness of a specific area that needs attention. Depending on its application, it can also be used to activate or deactivate a muscle group to enhance performance or decrease risk of injury.

 

Common Problems that can be addressed using Rocktape Kinesiology Taping include: issues such as ankle sprains, Achilles Tendonitis, Golfers Elbow, shin splints, low back disorders, rotator cuff problems, Plantar Fasciitis, swollen ankles, Tennis Elbow, calf strains, and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

How RockTape Works:

 

1 – Rocktape turns down the volume on pain.

 Rocktape on the skin can interfere with painful signals which are directed to the brain. When the signals arriving to the brain are altered, it does not produce the sensation of pain. When kinesiology tape is properly applied, the tape helps to change how your body interprets pain, turning down the pain “volume” that your body hears. Rocktape does so by affecting the nerve endings and different types of receptors in the skin of the injured area.

 

2 – Rocktape decompresses an area of swelling and inflammation.

Rocktape has a microscopic lifting effect underneath the skin and between layers allowing for greater blood flow to and from and area, and drainage of  by-products created by inflammation. Congested or compressed blood vessels flow more freely and there is more room in between layers of fascia, muscle, fat, skin, and other structures.

 

3 – Rocktape delays fatigue.

Research has shown that kinesiology tape on skin can attenuate muscle fatigue. In rehab, this is very important, not only for the parts of your body that are currently hurting, but also for the surrounding areas as they help to pick up the slack for areas that are currently not working very well.

 

4 – Rocktape normalizes muscle tone.

When injured, fatigued, sick, or inflamed, the symphony of muscle action that normally takes place with great accuracy often falls out of tune. This happen all over the body. Research has shown that people who sprain their ankle tend to have altered activity of their hip muscle as a result. Rocktape brings dormant muscle back to life and help calm down the overactive muscles. It helps your body coordinate movement as if it weren’t hurt, hence allowing it to heal properly.

 

5 – Rocktape spreads the physical stress.

Unlike conventional taping which is meant to prevent any movement, Rocktape is meant to allow full movement of the taped area. The elastic properties quick;y recoil and distribute forces to other nearby areas through the fascia, ligaments, and even bones.
