KMS Rocktape Kinesiology Tape for Athletes 2 & 4 Inch (Black or Beige)

Who Uses This Product? Athletes or anyone looking to improve physical performance, maintain proper alignment, or accelerate injury recovery. Individuals who are pregnant or experiencing edema may also use this tape.

Why They Love It: The water-resistant tape has long-lasting stickiness to stay on for up to 7 days. It decreases swelling and even helps alter the body's pain signals to reduce discomfort. The tape is sturdy enough to provide support while still having enough elasticity to allow for a full range of motion.

Rocktape Kinesiology Tape is designed for Athletes. It is a strong, flexible kinesiology tape that can be used to improve athletic performance and to support both sports and non-sports injuries. It works by microscopically lifting the skin away from the fascia and muscle, which increases blood flow to help relieve inflammation, delay fatigue, and increase recovery speed. It can be used for conditions such as shin splints, plantar fasciitis, runner’s knee, back pain and more.

Properly applied Rocktape helps increase blood flow by lifting the skin away from the muscle and fascia below. In turn, it relieves swelling, allowing more space for compressed capillaries, lymph vessels, arteries, and veins. With more space, byproducts created by inflammation are removed more quickly.

There are multiple ways to use Rocktape. It can be used for sports and fitness applications, such as cycling, swimming, or gym workouts. It can also be used for applications like injury rehabilitation, edema, or pregnancy. Carefully crafted visual instructions show how and where the tape can be used.

Is Rocktape hypoallergenic?
Yes, it uses an acrylic adhesive with no zinc oxide and is not made with natural rubber latex.

Does it pull off like a bandage?
No. Do not "grip and rip" the kinesiology tape, as it can cause skin irritation. Instead, peel the tape back on itself slowly and gently ease it away from the skin, pulling in the same direction as hair growth. Use oil or lotion to loosen the tape for even easier removal.

Can Rocktape be worn to bed?
Yes, it can be worn when sleeping. It is actually recommended to apply Rocktape at least an hour before use (two hours if swimming), as the adhesive is heat activated, so users can save time the day of an athletic event by applying Rocktape the night before.
