Rocktape is the only kinesiology tape engineered to meet the demands of endurance athletes like runners, swimmers and cyclists. Rocktape can be used both to apply compression to promote recovery, or decompression to relieve pain and swelling. When applied over a stretched muscle, Rocktape lifts the skin, accelerating blood flow to increase the amount of oxygen available to the muscles, which reduces fatigue. Rocktape also promotes lymph drainage to remove toxins produced by the body during hard efforts. These combined effects are powerful they allow the athlete to go harder for longer periods of time. Rocktape can be applied to very specific areas of the body that are sometimes hard to reach, such as shoulders, knees and joints. Rocktape reduces muscle fatigue and promotes blood flow for faster recovery, aids in injury treatment, strong adhesive, water resistant, 180% elasticity, latex and zinc free and can be worn for up to 5 days.
