RockTape / Kinesiology Taping (KT Taping)
RockTape® is a type of kinesiology tape designed to support movement, reduce pain, and aid recovery—without restricting mobility. Originally developed in Japan, kinesiology taping is now used worldwide by physical therapists, chiropractors, and athletic trainers to help treat injuries, improve posture, and enhance sports performance.
What It Is
RockTape / Kinesiology Tape works by gently lifting the skin away from the tissues underneath, improving circulation and reducing pressure on pain-sensitive structures. This can help decrease pain, reduce swelling, and support proper movement patterns while you stay active. Unlike traditional athletic tape, the tape is flexible, breathable, and designed to move with you, making it ideal for both everyday activities and high-performance sports.
Who It Helps
RockTape / Kinesiology Tape can be helpful for:
- Achilles tendonitis
- Plantar fasciitis
- Jumper’s knee (patellofemoral syndrome)
- ACL/MCL issues
- Rotator cuff injuries
- Groin and hamstring strains
- Low back pain
- Pregnancy-related back or pelvic pain
- Shin splints
- Tennis and golfer’s elbow
- Postural correction
- Sports performance support and injury prevention
What to Expect
Your provider will assess your movement patterns and identify areas of weakness, strain, or compensation. RockTape is then applied in specific patterns to support joints, reduce strain on injured tissues, and encourage better biomechanics. Taping sessions are often combined with manual therapy and corrective exercises to address both symptoms and underlying causes. The tape can be worn for several days and withstands showers, workouts, and daily activities.
Precautions
RockTape / Kinesiology Tape is safe for most people but may be avoided if you have allergies to adhesives, open wounds, skin infections, or certain skin sensitivities. Your provider will determine if kinesiology taping is appropriate for you.
