Rock Tape FAQs
How does Rock Tape work?
Rock Tape is applied to any region of the body that has sustained an injury or that is experiencing discomfort. Due to it’s design, when Rock Tape is applied to the skin, it lifts the skin away from the soft tissue underneath, allowing increased blood flow to the injured area. This, in turn, accelerates healing and recovery.
Is taping only for athletes?
Anyone who has a musculoskeletal injury or who is looking to improve performance or can benefit from Rock Tape. While it is great for is for treating common sports injuries like shin splints, runner’s knee, it is equally as effective for non-sports injuries and conditions such as carpal tunnel, shoulder pain, or general back pain.
What makes Rock Tape different from typical athletic tape?
Regular athletic tape is not designed to increase blood flow or to accelerate the healing process. Rather, it is meant simply to stabilize the part of the body it covers. Rock Tape, on the other hand, is specifically designed to facilitate healing, and when applied by a certified clinician, it has proven effective at relieving pain stemming from a variety of conditions.
