WHAT IS ROCKTAPE ?
Unlike tradional athletic tape that binds and doesn't stretch.Rocktape is engineered to mimic human skin.this
strechinessis the secret behind Rocktape.Rocktape stretches up to190%of its original length but has amazing
"snap back" or recovery.this is what gives Rocktape its performance advantage over other tape.
To achieve this,we introduce a special weave into the cotton when the tape is woven.This weave means the tape will stretch in only one direction and the tension of the weave is engineered to mimic the same the same elasticity as skin.Together,these pro perties create what we call"Bio-Mechanical Lifting Mechanism".This simply means that the tape can lift the skin away from the soft tissue underneath the skin.This listing capability is what promotes blood flow and lymphatic drainage.
Rocktape can also be used to stabilise muscles and joints that have been sprained or strained.Unlike braces and sleeves that constrain and reduce blood flow,Rocktape can provide support and stability while increasing blood flow.Thus the tape's capabilities make it well suited to the repair of localised muscle group.
WHAT ABOUT PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS ?
Rocktape has developed anew protocol for taping call"Power Taping".By taping all the muscle groups associated with a particular sport,we create a sports specific bio-kinetic chain.For example,with cyclist,we tape the calves,quads and hip flexors.With these muscle taped,they become "engaged",both mechanically and mentally.
THIS ENSURES TWO THINGS :
Mechanically the group are linked and operate in a coordinated fashion.This ensures that when power is applied to the pedals it is done as efficiently as posibble (i.e no splayed knees,hips are balanced,etc).Also,Rocktape increase blood flow to this areas,which promotes endurance and recovery.
Mentally,we send signals to the brain tahar originate from the sensor receptors on the skin that have been activated by the tape.This sensory stimulation can be very powerful.For example,elite athletes are very good at pushing through painbut at some point the brain determines that there is a safety issue and slows activity.By telling the brain that there is additional support available via tape,the brain allows the athlete to push a little harder than if he/she did not have tape.Whether used for enhanced performance,muscle repair,stability management or recovery,Rocktape can be valuable component in the athlete's toolkit.
