ROCKTAPE

RockTape is a natural-hybrid product and consists of 97% organic cotton and 3% nylon, when applied to the skin it has a microscopic lifting effect underneath the skin and between the many layers.  It is believed that this has 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 body awareness.

The elastic properties of tape induce a vertical lift of skin from the underlying tissue.  This decompresses the space between skin and muscle which contains lots of important stuff like nerve endings, blood vessels etc.  Decompression promotes improved blood and lymphatic flow into and out of the taped area allowing the more rapid removal of injury waste products and pain generating chemicals thus promotes healing.

RockTape allows full movement of a taped area through its elastic properties and quick recoil, RockTape can help distribute forces to other nearby areas through the fascia, ligaments and muscles.
