How does Rock Tape Work?
Firstly: Rock tape can give a treatment huge assistance. It can be used to support like shown in the photos to assist a weakened rotator cuff supporting its function during injury recovery . Even can be used to assist an unstable knee before a event, sports tape can give you great support up those hills. I find it most valuable applying it after a treatment to reduce to chance of soreness after the massage but also support the structures after a loosened everything up.​
I know the below images look a bit gross, but bare with me. This is a grade 2 bicep tear only 2 days in. Severe bruising, swelling and lots of pain. I was able to use tape for swelling reduction. this is the results of the tape being on for only 24 hours! Huge reduction in swelling. I think its worth showing right?
I also love using it to help with whiplash recovery or help reduce the swelling and soreness after having a really angry sore neck. This particular client had been in an car accident on the road 2 days prior and was having a lot of neck pain.
May look a bit silly but it actually is pretty effective and doesn't take very long to apply at all. Completely worth it! They woke up feeling pain free. the next morning.
