RockTape Canine & Equine are kinesiology tapes designed for the unique needs of dogs & horses. It works by creating a lifting effect on the skin resulting in decompression of the subcutaneous layers beneath the tape. 

​

Possible outcomes of decompression/lifting effect:

◦Mechanical effect- allows for better glide between tissue layers

◦Fluid effect- allows for better flow of lymphatic and superficial blood flow

◦Neurological effect- decreases firing of pain receptors and provides alternate sensory input

◦Also improves awareness of body position
