RockTape®

The Science of Kinesiology


What is

Kinesiology Tape?


Have you seen a strange and colorful tape on an athlete while watching your favorite sport on TV before or heard of Kinesiology tape and wondered what it was? It is an innovation that may appear to be magic but its actually the marvel of science at work! Kinesiology tape, an ingenious blend of cotton and nylon, is tailored to imitate the elasticity of your skin. This intelligent design empowers you with the ability to move unrestricted while sporting the tape, allowing for a full range of motion. It’s like having a second skin that is both flexible and supportive!

Another noteworthy attribute of this innovative product is its water-resistant quality. This is made possible through the use of a top-tier, medical-grade adhesive that ensures the tape adheres to your skin effectively. Hence, you can rest assured that it will remain attached for a period of three to five days, defying even the most rigorous workouts and enduring showers!

When you apply this wonder tape, it gently recoils, causing a slight elevation of your skin. This simple action is believed to result in the creation of a tiny, microscopic space between your skin and the tissue beneath it. The creation of this small gap is integral to the tape’s effectiveness.

To put it simply, kinesiology tape functions by establishing an interaction with your skin and the underlying tissue. Through this interaction, it plays a significant role in assisting your body’s inherent healing process.
