RockTape CertifiedLyn Lake Chiropractic is a Certified FMT RockTape Doc Clinic, meaning we've completed extra training and certification to offer our patients this proven kinesiology taping technique as part of their recovery.
What Is RockTape?
RockTape is a kinesiology tape. First used by acupuncturists and chiropractors in Japan, it is now used by practitioners worldwide to treat injuries and improve sports performance, and it is effective for far more than sports injuries. Common uses include:
- Achilles tendonitis and plantar fasciitis
- Jumper's knee (PFS) and ACL/MCL issues
- Rotator cuff problems, groin and hamstring pulls
- Lower back issues and shin splints
- Tennis and golf elbow, pregnancy-related pain, and postural correction
How RockTape Works
A bias woven into the fabric lets RockTape stretch in one direction and not the other, creating a bio-mechanical lift that pulls the skin away from the soft tissue underneath so more blood reaches an injured area. Applied properly, it can help athletes improve form and decrease fatigue.
RockTape is 97% cotton and 3% nylon and uses no drugs. Its hypo-allergenic acrylic adhesive contains no latex.
