Rock Taping

What does RockTape do?

RockTape specialist Exeter, Devon

RockTape is a premium brand of kinesiology tape. First used by acupuncturists and chiropractors in Japan, today kinesiology tape is used by a wide variety of health professionals throughout the world to treat injuries and pain.

Rock Tape turns down the volume on pain

More specifically, it runs interference on pain. Rock Tape on the can interfere with painful signals which are directed to the brain. When the signals arriving to the brain are altered, it does not produce the sensation of pain. When tape is properly applied, many think that it’s fixed their injury instantly. In fact, it helps to change how your body interprets pain, turning down the pain “volume” that your body hears.

Decompresses an area of swelling and inflammation

When Rock Tape is applied to the skin, it has a microscopic lifting effect underneath the skin and between the many layers. This allows the by products created by inflammation to be removed more quickly.

It delays fatigue

Research has shown that Rock Tape on the skin can attenuate muscle fatigue. In rehab, this is very important, not only for the parts of your body that are currently hurting, but also for the surrounding areas as they help to pick up the slack for muscles that are currently not working well.

It normalises muscles tone

This can happen all over the body, rock tape helps bring dormant muscle back to life and help calm down the overactive muscles. it help your body coordinate movement as if it weren’t hurt, allowing it to heal properly.

It distributes physical stress

Unlike conventional tape that prevents movement – Rock Tape allows full movement of a taped area.
