My poor husband who loves to work out but suffers from shoulder and lower back pain for years now it loving his experience trying out RockTape.
The company is owned by a cycling, swimming and running enthusiast who during a PT session was treated with tape (like you have seen in the Olympic Games) and found that it truly helped enhance his performance and helped to promote blood flow to the muscles. After tweaking the formula RockTape was born.
The California based companies product is a kinesiology tape which pulls the skin away from the muscle, promotes blood flow, improves oxygen flow and helps with the removal of lactic acid. The skin is literally bio-mechanically lifted to accelerate healing and recovery. Made of 100% Organic cotton, it can be worn in the shower or while swimming and lasts for 5 days. The product is completely hypo-allergenic and contains no latex.
Skeptic? Professional athletes such as Serena Williams, Kerri Walsh and Lance Armstrong use RockTape as it can be used for a multitude of injuries such as: Achilles Tendonitis, Plantar fasciitis, Jumpers Knee, ACL and MCL issues, Rotator Cuff, groin and hamstring pulls, lower back issues, shin splints, tennis and golf elbow, pain associated with pregnancy, Postural correction and others.
The RockTape Company even provides taping clinic in a variety of uses for Power Taping perfect for medical professionals, coaches, athletic trainers, athletes themselves and even the military and first responders. There is also a variety of taping videos on their website broken down by injuries. I am posting the video here on the review that was so helpful to my husband.
Although a true skeptic in the beginning, my stubborn husband was really happy with the product and said he truly felt a difference and that it "kept him in the game" longer.
