Rocktape
Kinesiology tape was founded in the 70’s by a Chiropractor, Dr. Kenzo Kase, in Tokyo. It did not come to the US until 1995 and is now used by various Olympic athletes and professional teams. Now practitioners around the world prevent, treat, and improve sports performance, as well as alleviate aliments that are not sports related.
Rocktape is a special kinesiology/sports tape that provides support while allowing full range of motion. RockTape is used to decrease pain, unload tissue via decompression, and provide a novel stimulus that improves body awareness. It also helps with swelling and inflammation by microscopic lifting effect between the skin and fascia to help keep motion in the area. RockTape is hypo-allergenic, acrylic-based, and contains no latex.
