Rocktape H2O has an enhanced adhesive that was initially developed for water polo where there is both grappling and water involved. Rocktape H2O is popular for:
- Podiatrists dealing with sweaty feet
- Practitioners in Northern Australia who are working with higher humidity in the summer months
- Elite swimmers who are spending lengthy periods in the water, and
- Profuse sweaters
Unlike rigid tape, which many people find too stiff and restrictive, Rocktape is stretchy and is quickly becoming the preferred tape used by practitioners and athletes. Rocktape microscopically lifts the skin away from the muscle and fascia below, which decompresses the area and promotes blood flow.
