I’m also a certified RockDoc, which means that I use RockTape, a specific brand of kinesiotape, to help support muscle function and movement. Kinesiotaping is a new area of sports science, and research indicates it can help with pain management, reduce inflammation and swelling, as well as delaying muscle fatigue.

I’ve found that RockTape has helped a variety of my patients recover from injury and enhance performance – whether it is for improving squat mechanics, reducing shoulder pain for that golf swing, helping recover from a knee replacement, or decreasing postural stress from hours at a desk.

RockTaping is a nice compliment to the ART care I provide and can help get you up and moving about faster.

Kinesiology tape has a unique ability to boost your body’s sense of proprioception, which is essentially your awareness of your body’s position and movement. Many people have areas in their body that aren’t fully registered by the brain—these “blind spots” can cause awkward movements, overworked muscles, and even pain or injury.

When you apply RockTape to your skin, it gently stimulates these areas, helping the brain become more aware of them. This ongoing sensory feedback can lead to better movement control, enhanced athletic performance, and quicker recovery by promoting more efficient body mechanics.
