Kinesio / Rock Taping

The tape that takes the pain away®

How does it work? The tape, made with hypoallergenic acrylic glue, is manufactured to be the same weight, thickness, and elasticity as the skin and is able to integrate with the body’s sensory system naturally. There are 3 possible categories of effect which have been identified depending on the method of application and the therapeutic outcome desired.
