Functional Taping with Rock Tape

Rocktape is a revolutionary new type of therapeutic tape that is great for treating common sports injuries or enhancing performance.

How it works:

Rocktape is a natural-hybrid product and consists of 97% cotton, 3% nylon and uses no drugs. The adhesive is a hypo-allergenic acrylic based adhesive and contains no latex. When we manufacture Rocktape, we introduce a bias into the weave of the fabric so it stretches in one direction and not the other. This creates what we call a bio-mechanical lifting mechanism which lifts the skin away from the soft tissue. This allows blood to move into an injured area which accelerates healing and recovery. 

What can it be used for?

  • Rotator cuff issues
  • Groin and hamstring pulls
  • Lower back issues
  • Shin splints
  • Tennis and golf elbow

Achilles tendonitis
• Plantar fasciitis
• Jumpers knee (PFS)
• ACL/MCL issues
• Shoulder Pain

Rocktape is also great for correcting tracking issues in knees, shoulders or elbows. It can also be used to correct posture problems including those associated with pregnancy.
