Commonly worn by elite competitors, ROCKTAPE is the only kinesiology tape engineered to meet the demands of endurance athletes like runners, swimmers and cyclists. When applied over a stretched muscle, ROCKTAPE lifts the skin away, accelerating blood flow to the area. ROCKTAPE also promotes the removal of toxins produced by the body during periods of intense physical exertion. These combined effects are powerful: they allow you to go harder 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.
