Do you offer different types of taping?
Both doctors are RockTape certified and that is our brand of choice. However, we also utilize different taping methods for injuries that need more stability.
Definitely. All injuries are treated equally with us, no matter what their cause.
Most of the time! You’ve probably seen pro-athletes wearing various tapes during their games to give an injured or weakened muscle a little added support during play. It can offer athletes of all skill levels the same thing. Your doctor will let you know if you should leave it on while competing or not.
Most of our tapes will stay in place for 2 – 4 days. It varies for each person, based on activity level and how much you sweat. We recommend removing the tape after that amount of time, even if it is still ‘sticking’ to you. This is so your skin can breathe and won’t become irritated. If we think it will benefit you, we’ll tape you again at your next appointment.
Yes! The tape is extremely sticky, and will dry after getting wet. You’re free to shower / bathe as normal while wearing the tape. If the tape becomes excessively wet (think swimming multiple times a day) it may become displaced sooner.
