RockTape® Kinesiology Taping

First used by acupuncturists and chiropractors in Japan, kinesiology tape is now used by practitioners throughout the world to treat injuries and improve sports performance. Kinesiology taping facilitates the body’s natural healing and recovery process while providing stability and support to muscles and joints. 

RockTape® is the world's leading kinesiology tape. It can be used to treat sports and non-sports injuries, including shin splints, plantar fasciitis, runner's knee and back pain. RockTape® microscopically lifts the skin away from the muscle and fascia below, creating a decompressive effect.

Evolve is the only pilates studio in Gainesville to offer RockTape® with Rocktape® Certified Trainers. Our trainers will evaluate your posture and movement patterns to determine how RockTape can best help you.
