Rock Taping

It's not just for Sports!

All ages can benefit from RockTape!

RockTape is kinesiology tape that is made from 97% cotton and 3% nylon. The adhesive is hypoallergenic, acrylic based and latex free. It can be used to treat sports and non-sports injuries. RockTape microscopically lifts the skin away from the muscle and fascia below, creating a decompressive effect that in turn  creates space in the tissue layers allowing for better fluid movement and tissue glide. 

​

Cupping

Cupping is thought to alleviate symptoms by promoting peripheral (close to the skin) blood circulation and improving immunity.
 

According to a 2018 review, the effects of cupping therapy include:

​

  • promoting the skin’s blood flow

  • changing the skin’s biomechanical properties

  • increasing pain thresholds

  • improving local anaerobic (without oxygen) metabolism

  • reducing inflammation

  • boosting cellular immunity

 

According to a 2017 study, the mechanical effect of cupping increases local blood flow and stretches underlying tissue.
 

Activation of Heme oxygenase-1, a gene that plays a critical role in the prevention of vascular inflammation, could account for many of cupping therapy’s claimed local and systemic health benefits.

​

Cupping has shown distinct benefits for all ages - Ask Kayla if Cupping is right for you!
