ROCKTAPE Endurance Tape 2"

Comments about ROCKTAPE Endurance Tape 2" Injury Recovery:

I love Rocktape. It has helped me through so many injuries, aches and pains. Way better than KT tape because it adheres better and stays on longer. I also like that it comes in a roll as opposed to pre-cut strips, making applications easier.

I use Rock Tape for injuries, muscle support, and even used it post-op to control swelling. I won't run without Rock Tape.

I've used the original Kinesio tape, but the stuff peels off in a day. Strange, given it was the first tape and it's more expensive than Rock Tape.

Rock tape must be applied correctly to work and stay on. This means learning how much stretch, if any, needs to be use for the area you are taping; learning the correct pattern for the area and purpose; and learning how much flex, if any, to apply to your muscle as you apply the tape. If you don't know how to apply it correctly, the tape may peel off within a day. Applied correctly, the tape will stay on for 3 or 4 days.

My doctor is certified in taping for both Kinesio tape and Rock Tape--yet, he only uses Rock Tape. And it's not about compensation either--he sells Rock Tape at cost to his patients and never charges for taping during a doctor's visit. I get taped almost every time I see him.

For maximum adhesiveness, I always wipe my skin with rubbing alcohol before applying the tape. I usually have to remove the tape myself in 3 or 4 days. Only rarely has the tape peeled off on me.

I used this product to help me rehab a high ankle sprain that was taking a long time to heal. I was amazed at the rapid improvement in my recovery after using rocktape for approx 10 days. Each time I wrapped my ankle lasted approx 4 days, even through multiple showers without losing effectiveness and without starting to smell.

I used this product for my left knee that had been bothering me. After about a week using it my acheness/pain in that knee had totally left me. This tape was able to support that knee and allow me to train through the issues I was having with that knee. Great Product. [...]

Great stuff, sticks through 2-3 workouts and showers. I was expecting lines or score marks to use as in pictures on muscles, but there were none.

I have major IT band problems when training for marathons. Rock tape has helped me by giving me the support I need and not slowing me down when training. I haven't found anything out there that beats it!

I'm a runner/swimmer and I use this to help ease a shoulder injury. It's easy to apply and stays on in water during workouts. I haven't had to use it to ease running injuries but would if the need arises.

When I need a little extra support to prevent future injuries., I use it on my feet or any tight muscle.

Comments about ROCKTAPE Endurance Tape 2" Injury Recovery:

I hurt my knee a couple weeks before a half marathon and wasn't sure if I'd be able to run. I did a couple short runs prior to the half and felt okay but was still nervous. I had never used KT tape before but my friends had suggested it so I went on the RRS website to check out my options and decided on rock tape. I loved the different color options. I bought pink, which would match my race day outfit perfectly. I was able to run the entire half marathon with very little pain and a decent time. The next day, I had some minor aches typical after a long run but my knee felt fine. I definitely recommend it!

As a PT, I realize there is no miracle quick fix out there. I know this has mix reviews in the PT/AT world. It works great for my PFPS (aka runner knee). I wouldn't run without it.

I'm not sure about its claim that it can do all they say! However, works for my knee. I usually wear a compression sleeve along with the tape on runs past 8 miles.

Rock tape works WAY better than k tape IMHO.

I sprained my ankle a few weeks before my first marathon. My chiropractor taped my ankle up with ROcktape a couple of days before. It stayed on and I ran pretty much pain free through all 26.2 miles. I also take a small piece and place it right below my kneecap which takes away the sore knee issues on long runs. So glad to find it here. No one else carries it.

Comments about ROCKTAPE Endurance Tape 2" Injury Recovery:

I am a marathon runner who has been wearing every brand of compression tape all year for Achilles issues. Rock tape is the ONLY tape that stays put without curling for at least 5 days.

I admit it would be easier if it was perforated or at least scored on the back, but that is a small inconvenience for such a great product. It also doesn't have the y split like other brands, but that isn't a factor with the AT application.

Acutally stayed on. Stick to larger strips. Small ones tend to bend, but don't fall off. No pain in knees after marathon thru cobblestone streets...

Comments about ROCKTAPE Endurance Tape 2" Injury Recovery:

I developed strains in both calves while transitioning to mid-foot striking. I learned about this product at an expo the day prior to a 1/2 marathon (of which I thought I might only last a couple of miles due to recurring injury/pain). I Rocktaped up & had no discomfort at all for the entire race or afterwards! My calves have since strengthened, but (for insurance) I now use it as a preventative tool when I run 10+ miles.

I have also heard fantastic results from runners who had chronic knee and low back pain!

Comments about ROCKTAPE Endurance Tape 2" Injury Recovery:

I bought this product for my son who plays basketball and soccer. He had ankle and knee pain and when I applied the tape the pain was relieved enough to allow him to play. We were traveling so it was an inconvenience to have to carry scissors with me to cut the tape.

Comments about ROCKTAPE Endurance Tape 2" Injury Recovery:

Before I was trying all type of tapes, KT, Spider Tape, etc. Rock tape adhesive was the only one tape that stick to the skin longer encouraging a better healing. I think Rock tape is more cost effctive that the other tapes. Also, because I live in Salem, OR I didn't have to travel all the way to the store and buy the tape. I ordered the tape online [...] Also Road Runner Sports was the only store that had the product I was looking for all over Oregon!! I was really pleased with Rock tape [...]

Comments about ROCKTAPE Endurance Tape 2" Injury Recovery:

As advertised this tape actually lasts for several days, even with exercise and showers. Other tapes of this type don't survive the first shower. Keep in mind it will be wet after the shower and you need to use a towel and maybe a quick shot with the hair dryer, but the adhesive stays stuck to your skin. I've been using it for my foot and have been very happy with it.

Tape feels pretty good and works well while running. It does not peel, and I have been able to wear it for up to three days.

Comments about ROCKTAPE Endurance Tape 2" Injury Recovery:

I have bad knees and do muli-day adventure racing. This tape is miraculous in its ability to support my knnes and keep the intense pain at bay. My only issue is the cost (I train a lot) and I have issues with the tape rolling and coming undone after 8 or more hours or training or racing. I could be applying it wrong. Most races are 1-3 days and I would love it to last the whole time.

Comments about ROCKTAPE Endurance Tape 2" Injury Recovery:

After running 3 half marathons I developed tendonitis in both of my knees. I was absolutely devastated because i could no longer lace up and head out the door on unrestrained runs. after years of trying different shoes and different running surfaces I had given up distance running... really anything at all over 2 miles would give me a flareup.

Then a friend recommended Rocktape.

Rocktape is fantastic. I have run many races since starting to use Rocktape including another half marathon with minimal discomfort in my knees.

The product is great, adhesive, and the tape doesn't really stick to your clothes as long as you give it the proper time to attach to your skin. Rocktape has videos online on how to properly apply the tape for different issues.

I have also used Rocktape to help with shin splints while i continued my workouts.

If you are serious about being athletic and you have ever experienced an injury, this product is for you.
