Go Stronger, Go Longer with RockTape. RockTape is the only kinesiology tape engineered to meet the demands of endurance athletes like runners, swimmers and cyclists. Unlike other products, RockTape can be used both to apply compression to promote recovery, or decompression to relieve pain and swelling. Similar to the kinesiology tape in the Olympics and that Lance Armstrong wrote about in “Every Second Countsâ€, RockTape is used by professional and amateur athletes everywhere.
