Kinesiology Taping to Improve Sports Performance
While a 5 hour marathoner cannot be turned into a 3 hour runner, there are methods to help you break the 3 hour barrier if you’re already close. When applied properly, RockTape can help athletes improve form and decrease fatigue through better blood flow. These are the two most critical aspects of increasing performance in almost any sport.
There are varied uses of RockTape for specific sports such as Triathlon, Running and CrossFit.
RockTape Kinesiology Taping is for Taping Movement, Not Muscles

How Does RockTape Works?
When RockTape is manufactured, a bias is introduced into the weave of the fabric so it stretches in one direction and not the other. This creates a bio-mechanical lifting mechanism that lifts the skin away from the soft tissue underneath, which allows more blood to move into an injured area to accelerate healing and recovery.
What is RockTape Made Of?
RockTape is a natural-hybrid product and consists of 97% cotton, 3% nylon and uses no drugs. The adhesive is a hypo-allergenic acrylic based adhesive and contains no latex.
Where Can RockTape be Purchased?
RockTape is sold by many retailers who offer products for runners, cyclists, triathletes and more. Call your favorite sporting goods store to see if they carry RockTape. If they don’t, you can check this link to find a retailer, or purchase through the online store.
How can I find someone who can tape me?
