Rock Tape
How does kinesiology tape work? Kinesiology tape, more commonly known as rock tape, works by recoiling slightly after it's applied to the skin. This recoil gently lifts the skin allowing it to create microscopic space between your skin and the tissues underneath it.
Rock tape is used to treat injuries in conjunction with other treatments like manual or physical therapy. It can also be used to add extra support to muscles or joints that need it without compromising movement. Rock tape can be a great addition to traditional treatment.
