Kinesiology Tape
Dr. Stephanie is a Certified RockDoc utilizing Rocktape kinesiology tape. Rocktape is fantastic for treating common sports injuries like shin splints, plantar fasciitis, and runner’s knee. Rocktape can also be used for pain relief and postural support. Dr. Stephanie uses Rocktape to complement her soft tissue and musculoskeletal treatments to provide additional relief of low back, neck, and mid back pain, along with improving blood flow and decreasing inflammation of swollen joints.
How does it work?
When applied properly, ROCKTAPE lifts the skin away from the muscle, which promotes blood flow. Faster blood flow means more oxygen and more lymph drainage, this is what decreases inflammation and pressure that can cause pain or discomfort.
Is it difficult to apply?
Not at all. Dr. Stephanie has had experience taping athletes and weekend warriors, parents and kids. She will even take the time to show you how to apply it yourself or show your loved ones how to apply it for you.
How long will it last?
ROCKTAPE can be worn up to 5 days. It is 100% organic cotton and can be worn while swimming or in the shower.
