The is a technique that has been around for thousands of years tools were used to scrape the body\u2019s soft tissue. RockBlades were developed by the RockTape. RockBlades are used as part of a treatment plan, alongside chiropractic manipulation, physical therapy and rehabilitation exercises. The tools used comprise a variety of different edges and shapes, which can be used to scan soft tissues for any areas of alteration in the soft tissue. The tools offer a very different form of tissue mobilization compared to using the hands and can be extremely light and gentle in painful areas, or areas requiring injury rehabilitation.\r\n\r\n<em><strong>The application of these tools can: <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-227106 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/freeportfamilychiro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Blade_Foot-300x251.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"244\" height=\"204\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freeportfamilychiro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Blade_Foot-300x251.png 300w, https:\/\/freeportfamilychiro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Blade_Foot-768x644.png 768w, https:\/\/freeportfamilychiro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Blade_Foot-500x419.png 500w, https:\/\/freeportfamilychiro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Blade_Foot-700x587.png 700w, https:\/\/freeportfamilychiro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Blade_Foot.png 940w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 244px) 100vw, 244px\" \/><\/strong><\/em>\r\n\r\n\u2022 Help eliminate pain\r\n\u2022 Help improve muscle function\r\n\u2022 Help improve performance\r\n\r\n<strong>What is RockTape?<\/strong> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-227007 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/freeportfamilychiro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/RockTape-neck_2-300x202.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"202\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freeportfamilychiro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/RockTape-neck_2-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/freeportfamilychiro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/RockTape-neck_2-768x516.jpg 768w, https:\/\/freeportfamilychiro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/RockTape-neck_2-500x336.jpg 500w, https:\/\/freeportfamilychiro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/RockTape-neck_2-700x471.jpg 700w, https:\/\/freeportfamilychiro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/RockTape-neck_2.jpg 882w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\r\n\r\nRockTape is a kind of kinesiology taping that has become an adjunct to other forms of treatment. It can be used to support chiropractic adjustments, rehab exercises and soft tissue mobilization long after the in-office treatment. But how does this tape work? And why is it any different from other forms of taping?\r\n\r\n<strong>How Does RockTape Work?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe purpose of using RockTape is to mitigate pain, mechanically decompress the skin and lastly provide a neurosensory input to the brain. The tape was designed to \u201cmove with the body\u201d and NOT limit your motion. Due to the design and the stretching nature of the tape, it mechanically decompresses the skin to cause a measurable increase in spaces between the fascial layers. This relieves pressure from free nerve endings in the tissues responsible for pain while allowing better circulation to help with recovery and performance.\r\n\r\nThe skin and connective tissue beneath it is filled with sensory receptors responsible for light touch, pain, pressure and temperature. As RockTape lifts the skin it creates an alteration of signals going from the taped area to the brain. As a result, this changes the brains response to incoming information and alters the signals that return to the taped area.\r\n\r\n<strong>What is Cupping and How Does it Work?<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-227108 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/freeportfamilychiro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Cupping_1-300x251.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"281\" height=\"235\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freeportfamilychiro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Cupping_1-300x251.png 300w, https:\/\/freeportfamilychiro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Cupping_1-768x644.png 768w, https:\/\/freeportfamilychiro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Cupping_1-500x419.png 500w, https:\/\/freeportfamilychiro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Cupping_1-700x587.png 700w, https:\/\/freeportfamilychiro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Cupping_1.png 940w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 281px) 100vw, 281px\" \/><\/strong>\r\n\r\nCupping is a traditional, time-honored treatment favored by millions of people worldwide because it\u2019s safe, comfortable and remarkably effective for many health disorders.
