At Wholistic Health Centre the Kinesiotape brand we use is ROCKTAPE® This brand is known for its superior quality and performance, unlike braces and sleeves that constrain and reduce blood flow.
ROCKTAPE® can provide support and stability while increasing blood flow. Thus, the tape’s capabilities make it well-suited to the repair of localised muscle groups.
Dr John Infante Chiropractor has been using ROCKTAPE® for several years and highly recommends it, based on the amazing client results he has achieved; particularly when treating the lower back with Kinesiotaping at both Kareela and Wolli Creak Wholistic Health Centre.
My theory is that these positive results are because ROCKTAPE® stimulates sensor receptors to send more information to the brain, which helps the area heal better.
Kinesiotaping isn’t just for treating the lower back. We’ve also used ROCKTAPE® to treat injuries on the shins, calves, and swollen feet, to encourage proper neck and shoulder posture and a bunch of other things too… including a 4-year-old’s forearm!
The same science that is used to treat injuries can be applied to help the endurance of athletes like runners, swimmers and cyclists. Kinesiotaping aids and enhances performance, prevents fatigue, promotes circulation, removes lactic acid and assists with lymphatic drainage, making this the perfect treatment for sporting injuries, pain or discomfort.
When applying Kinesiotape to specific muscle groups, assists the body in:
These benefits provide athletes with additional endurance and help promote healing and recovery.
Whether used for muscle repair, stability management, recovery or enhanced performance, taping can be a valuable component in the athlete’s toolkit and chiropractic care.

Mentally, when the Kinesiotape is applied it sends signals to the brain that originate from the sensor receptors on the skin, these are activated by the contact of the tape.
This sensory stimulation can be very powerful. For example, elite athletes are very good at pushing through pain but at some point, the brain determines that there is a safety issue and slows to reduce the risk of severe injury or malfunction.
By telling the brain that there is additional support available via the tape, the brain allows the athlete to push a little harder than if they were not wearing the Kinesiotaping.
