Rocktape/Kinesology Tape
How It Works
RockTape is a premium brand of kinesiology tape. We and many others truly believe it is the BEST kinesiology tape on the market! First introduced by acupuncturists and chiropractors in Japan, RockTape is used by a wide variety of health professionals throughout the world to both prevent and treat injuries and pain.
When applied correctly, RockTape’s unique elasticity causes the skin to form convolutions and wrinkles. This decompresses the tissue immediately below the skin. It is believed to have three main effects:
Fluid Effect- improving blood and lymphatic flow in the taped area
Mechanical Effect- improving the slide and glide between tissue layers
Neurological Effect- altering the perception of pain and improving bodily awareness

Why is RockTape better than other kinesiology tape brands?
RockTape is manufactured in South Korea, which has much more stringent quality controls than the majority of kinesiology tapes that are manufactured in China. This results in a product that is stickier, more elastic, and superior to other kinesiology tapes. Not to mention, their extensive range of colors and patterns cater to every personality!
