ROCKTAPE offers the therapist a new option for injury rehab for a patient. Best used in conjunction with soft tissue and massage manipulations, the patient can get the benefit of fascial support and stretch for up to 5 days because the tape can stay on that long even under clothes and after showers. ROCKTAPE differs from traditional Kinesiotaping in that they train their certified RocDocs to tape not only muscles but movements as well. Understanding human movements and addressing the fascial lines is important for the practitioner when applying the tape.
Fascia can be described by using and orange as an example. The rind represents the human skin...and the wedges represent the muscle...the white film surrounding the wedges and the rest of the center represents the fascia. Fascia surrounds every muscle, bone, organ, nerve and vessel in the body from head to toe. ROCKTAPE has the ability to change the fascia by providing a consistent, light stretch and lift to the skin and the underlying tissue and fascia. This stretching and lifting can have a profound effect on the body's ability to reduce fatigue, inflammation and swelling as well as provide support and increase blood flow to the tissues to aid in rehabilitation.
Overall ROCKTAPE is effectively backed by scientific research for rehabilitation and performance. It should be considered as a treatment option for any competitive athlete, weekend warrior, CrossFitter, triathlete/runner/cyclist, golfer etc.. or average joe living with pain or discomfort. ROCKTAPE is not a miracle but it's darn close!
