RockTape Kinesiology Tape

RockTape

RockTape's Active-Recovery (AR) series of tapes are designed to enhance performance and recovery. Unlike regular compression garments and tapes, RockTape's AR series can be used both to apply compression to promote recovery, or decompression to relieve pain and swelling. RockTape is engineered to meet the demands of endurance athletes like runners, swimmers and cyclists.

When applied over a stretched muscle, RockTape lifts the skin, accelerating blood flow to increase the amount of oxygen available to the muscle, which reduces fatigue. It also promotes lymph drainage to remove toxins produced by the body during hard efforts. These combined effects are powerful: they allow athletes to go for longer periods of time. And unlike compression garments, RockTape can be applied to very specific areas of the body that are sometimes hard to reach, such as shoulders, knees and joints.

The RockTape AR series features:

• Stickier, hypoallergenic adhesive that won't fall off during competition.
• 180% stretch, the same elasticity as skin, to promote full range of motion.
• 97% cotton, 3% Nylon 6/12, low moisture absorption.
• Tighter weave, which enables muscle to more easily "snap back" to neutral.
• Water resistant.
• Variety of designs and colors.
