Rock Tape Review/Giveaway
I’m always excited to try a new product and have something for you. I would like talk a little about Rocktape. It is a special kind of tape known as kinesiology tape. First used by acupuncturists and chiropractors in Japan, today kinesiology tape is used by practitioners throughout the world to treat injuries and improve sports performance.
Rocktape can be used for a number of issues:
• Achilles tendonitis
• Plantar fasciitis
• Jumpers knee (PFS)
• ACL/MCL issues
• Rotator cuff
• Groin and hamstring pulls
• Lower back issues
• Shin splints
• Tennis and golf elbow
Improving Sports Performance
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.
How does Rocktape work?
When it’s 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.
I decided to try it out on a trail run. The only thing is that because I repositioned it once, the tape on the back of my thighs did peel down a little. As long as you don’t move it once you stick it on, it’s on there because the tape on my knees did not budge! Overall, I could tell my knees weren’t as achy as they sometimes are after a trail run, so I believe it does work for helping performance and recovery.
The awesome folks at Rocktape will give one of my lucky readers a packet of Rocktape and you get to choose from the plethora of designs and colors!

I used KT tape before and it seemed to work pretty well.
I have used it before and I love it!
I’ve always wondered if the tape works. It always looks so colourful at the races!
I have not used rock tape specifically before, but love all the fun patterns!
I’ve never used this before but I would love to try it! Especially for lower back and hamstring issues!!!
I have used it a few times and when it stayed on it did help!
I’ve never tried it, but I definitely want to!! I’d love to try it on my knees during a long run. Plus, the patterns are great
I haven’t tried it before but would love to
LOVE the Rocktape!
Rock tape rocks! It helped my PF and some issues my daughter was having with her achilles. I love it!!
Rocktape is amazing. Have the blue and blue argyle at home. I need some pink.
I’ve not taped my injuries before. I do have some PF flareups and am curious if this will help.
I have used KT tape on my wrist and it really seemed to work..
I currently use Performtex and would love to see if there is a difference with Rocktape.
I have never used tape before. I’ve heard a lot about it though. I would love to try it!
The chiropractor has been taping my knee. He used KT tape but it didn’t stay long. He’s also used Spider Tech tape and that stuff doesn’t come off at all! I’m curious how Rock Tape does!
I have used spider tape once and it helped I would love to try not again for my knees:)
I haven’t used it before but I’ve heard about it and have been wanting to try it for my knee pain!
i have never used it… i have however heard good things
I’ve heard of various brands of kinesiology tape, and being a runner with a bad knee I’ve been curious trying out the tape. However, prices aren’t favorable to just try something, so I’ve been avoiding them.
I haven’t tried KT tape (it’s hard to find around where I live!) but I have back problems and find tape to really help when it gets bad. I really want to try this instead of the hockey tape I’m currently using!!
I’ve used KT tape before (my first time). I liked it, but it didn’t seem to stay on very long. Then I tried RockTape and was amazed!
I’ve never used this kind of tape before, but am wondering if it would help with my knee pain after I’ve taught three classes in a row.
I totally need this for my ITBS and Plantar Fasciitis
