What type of tape is Kinesiology Tape?
Today, there are more than 50 brands of kinesiology tape on the market. Our practice specifically uses either RockTape or Dynamic Tape, as these are the top Kinesiology tapes out there.
When applied properly, these tapes lifts the skin away from the muscle, which promotes blood flow. Faster blood flow means more oxygen and more lymph drainage, which helps remove exercise byproducts. RockTape and Dynamic Tape can be worn up to 5 days. It is 100% cotton and can be worn while swimming or in the shower.
Research has shown that RockTape on skin can attenuate muscle fatigue. In rehab, this is very important, not only for the parts of your body that are currently hurting, but also for the surrounding areas as they help to pick up the slack for muscles that are currently not working well.
When someone is injured, fatigued, sick, or inflamed, the symphony of muscle action that normally takes place with great accuracy often falls out of tune. This can happen all over the body. For instance, research has shown that people who sprain their ankle tend to have altered activity of their hip muscle as a result. RockTape helps bring dormant muscle back to life and help calm down the overactive muscles. It helps your body coordinate movement as if it weren’t hurt, hence allowing it to heal properly.
Unlike conventional taping which is meant to prevent any movement at all, RockTape is meant to allow full movement of the taped area. Through elastic properties and quick recoil, RockTape can help distribute forces to other nearby areas through the fascia, ligaments, and even bones.
Definitely recommend! So easy to work with, and scheduling is so easy. My daughter is a competitive volleyball player and at the end of her last season she could barely get out of the car, put on socks, etc. She was was afraid she'd have to take time off from the sport she loves but after many visits and the decompression table, it's been a world of difference for her! The before and after x-rays are unreal.
Armeli Chiropractic! Everyone is so friendly, helpful and helpful. I was in several car accidents, Andrew is continuing to help me get better! I am so thankful!!
I’ve completed four of my recommended sessions and already feel real improvement. Andrew and Sara took the time to clearly explain my treatment plan before starting, which made me feel very comfortable. The whole team has been friendly and accommodating.
Dr. Armeli and Sara were a wonderful addition to my treatment plan. If my insurance still covered them and I lived a bit closer I would still be seeing them every chance I could. I can't recommend their services highly enough! 😄
Came in for an initial exam for some neck pain. They got me on a treatment plan right away, and sure enough halfway through the plan my neck was feeling 100% again. Everyone is super friendly and they will take great care of you.
Excellent experience!!! Dr. Armeli is very knowledgeable and was able to help neck and back issues I’ve had for years. He took the time to explain what was going on and how it could be fixed. They’re also very flexible with scheduling, which is so helpful. Highly recommend!!
I’ve been seeing Dr. Armeli for a while and I always feel better afterwards. My appointments are efficient, effective and definitely worth it! The ladies that work there are great as well! 10/10 recommend :)
Wonderful experience every single time! I experienced back pain through a work injury, and they got me back up on my feet! I would 100% recommend them to anyone and do as we speak!! Thank you Andrew and Sara🙏❤️
It is about how Dr. ARMELI takes time to call, message and keep in touch that made me keep in touch. They care and they show it...it's worth your time and money...
This place is on the ball. I had been seeing someone else for my car accident and in my first visit Dr Armeli was able to diagnose serious issues that another practice had missed. Would recommend this to anyone hurt in an accident.
Armeli Chiropractic has really helped me! I was in a car accident and they were my go to. I am feeling better each day! They have gone Above and Beyond. Thank you!
Great chiropractor! I was involved in a vehicle accident back in October. Needed care for my neck and back, so far the process has been smooth. Appreciate the entire crew at Armeli!
I’ve been getting adjusted for years. I received my first adjustment from Dr. Armeli a few days ago, and it’s by far the best adjustment I’ve ever had—and it’s not even close.
I've played competitive volleyball since I was 13 and suffered from some serious hip alignment and low back issues. Since coming to Armeli Chiropractic consistently, I've noticed a huge improvement in my overall health and am able to engage in the activities I love. 10/10 recommend this business and its locally owned!
I am a dental hygienist and have always struggled with neck/back pain. This pain was exacerbated after a non-work related injury. After coming here for a few months I have zero pain and can feel a difference physically and mentally. 10 stars for the work they do and the staff themselves!!
Dr. Armeli and Alex were amazing. It was my first time in and everything was explained and concerns were addressed. Dr. Armeli works fast and efficient which is great for those with busy schedules. So glad I checked them out!
I've never been disappointed with Dr Armeli's care and expertise. Highly recommend him! I have severe scoliosis and his weekly adjustments have really helped with the pain! Get some custom orthotics, too!
I absolutely love coming here. Everyone is very kind and understanding. They have 3 traction tables which is great, not everyone has them and I find them very beneficial before my adjustments. Highly recommend, great service
I started seeing Dr. Armeli during my pregnancy for hip and lower back issues. He was great to work with and would recommend him to anyone. Sarah is also so kind and helpful!
