What type of tape is Kinesiology Tape?
Today, there are more than 50 brands of kinesiology tape on the market. Our practice specifically uses either RockTape or Dynamic Tape, as these are the top Kinesiology tapes out there.
When applied properly, these tapes lifts the skin away from the muscle, which promotes blood flow. Faster blood flow means more oxygen and more lymph drainage, which helps remove exercise byproducts. RockTape and Dynamic Tape can be worn up to 5 days. It is 100% cotton and can be worn while swimming or in the shower.
Research has shown that RockTape on skin can attenuate muscle fatigue. In rehab, this is very important, not only for the parts of your body that are currently hurting, but also for the surrounding areas as they help to pick up the slack for muscles that are currently not working well.
When someone is injured, fatigued, sick, or inflamed, the symphony of muscle action that normally takes place with great accuracy often falls out of tune. This can happen all over the body. For instance, research has shown that people who sprain their ankle tend to have altered activity of their hip muscle as a result. RockTape helps bring dormant muscle back to life and help calm down the overactive muscles. It helps your body coordinate movement as if it weren’t hurt, hence allowing it to heal properly.
Unlike conventional taping which is meant to prevent any movement at all, RockTape is meant to allow full movement of the taped area. Through elastic properties and quick recoil, RockTape can help distribute forces to other nearby areas through the fascia, ligaments, and even bones.
Dr.’s Brooke and Zach have a highly effective approach to caring for their patients. I am grateful for Dr. Brooke’s “tailored to me” plan. She’s been a difference-maker!
Outstanding people from day one. Listened to my situation and came up with a treatment procedure that has done wonders. Everyone from the front desk to doctors Brooke and Zach are there to help and get you feeling better. Always smiling. Highly recommended.
Beating up my own body! Cleaning cars, closets and riding bike can all take a toll on the body!! When you’re hurting and not sure why, see Dr. Brooke Peterson or Dr. Zach Peterson, of Green Lake chiropractic, as they can help you figure out what may be the problem!!! I had a rib dislocated!! Get back to life and try a visit!
Brooke and Zach have been so awesome at getting our family feeling good again and keeping us feeling good! We appreciate them both so much as well as the friendly staff.
I was initially hesitant but always believed in the benefits of chiropractic care. After making the commitment, I've seen significant changes in my physical well-being. I highly recommend Green Lake Chiropractic for their exceptional kindness, helpfulness, and genuine care.
Was in town from Michigan and needed an adjustment. Green Lake Chiropractic got me and my husband in as new patients same day. We were able to conveniently schedule on their website. Their process is streamlined and efficient so no long wait time. The exams were thorough to determine root cause and adjustments fixed the issues. Staff and both chiropractors were very friendly. Highly recommend
Ok I have had my first appointment here. This place came highly recommended.<br>So what is my honest opinion.<br><br>When I say I am In Love. With this place after just one treatment I am in love. I have never felt more listened to by a chiropractor.<br>I normally get the uff it's work to go back to feel yucky afterwards and not want any of that. Heck on Monday after my Friday treatment I was oh my I can't wait tell Friday again.<br>Friday I stayed pretty quiet. Needed to let the body accept the adjustment. Slept amazingly well. Sat I kept things slow but steady. Sunday was back to work as normal and still felt good. I am so excited to go back I keep checking the days. Yes I know this is going to take a while to get straightened out but it is going to be worth it. And full maintenance will be in store for me.<br>I highly I mean HIGHLY recommended this chiropractic clinic
When I arrived at GLCC, I had been suffering from upper back pain and some nervous system issues for two years. After visiting several specialists in different areas of medicine, I decided to try chiropractic care. I chose GLCC because of the experience and professionalism of their doctors. Dr. Zach identified the problem after reviewing my X-ray. I have been receiving treatment from him, and my health has improved; I can now perform my normal activities with almost no pain. I feel much better than I have in the last two years. The entire staff is very friendly and always provides excellent customer service. Incorporating GLCC's chiropractic care into my current medical treatment was definitely the right decision.
I came to GLC with a lot of lower back pain, stiff neck issues and limited mobility. Yay blue collar! After just a couple months there I have seen significant improvement and many aspects of my life improved because of a stronger healthier back! Can’t recommend them enough!
I have been a regular at Green Lake Chiropractic for months now and will continue because my body needs adjustments often. I appreciate the welcoming atmosphere and my body feels so much better after each visit. Thanks so much! I highly recommend Green Lake Chiropractic Center!
First time in, greeted nicely at the door, admin staff was very friendly and addressed me immediately. Dr. Was thoughal and nice even tho they new it was a one time in. At least for now. If I needed chiropractor attention in the Spicer area, I would definitely go back.
Wouldn’t go anywhere else! They truly care about getting you better and it’s based on what is bothering you or needs to be focused on, which I wholeheartedly appreciate. I first started going due a pinched sciatic nerve. I’ve been going for a little over a year every other week and it’s helped tremendously! They have different plans you can look at as well and is very affordable in my opinion. It’s a very welcoming atmosphere too and all the staff are so nice! Cannot recommend Green Lake Chiro enough! 🙌🏼
Always a pleasant, relaxing atmosphere, always greeted with a friendly smile, where everyone knows your name. I have no complaints whatsoever....they know what they are doing. They will take good care of you!
I really liked that they want to fix the problem instead of treating the symptoms. I also love that my kiddos could come with me and that they weren't a "issue" to have to deal with.
The team at Green Lake Chiropractic is awesome! They all know you by name and do their best to make sure you have a great experience while you are at the office. The equipment and office space are also top notch. They improved my neck and shoulder pain in a matter of a few weeks which probably would have been quicker if I could have committed more time each week. I have more flexibility than I have had in quite a while! I would highly recommend their chiropractic services!
This is the best Chiropractor experience I've had. They really focus on getting you healthy and pain-free for the long-term by discussing your problem areas, medical history, and taking x-rays to fully evaluate and develop a solution. They have invested in a lot of helpful technology, the staff is very friendly, and the services are very affordable. I'd highly recommend Green Lake Chiropractic Center.
Love this place! Such welcoming and friendly doctors and staff! They give great adjustments and care about your whole body health!!! Dr. Brooke has worked with me to figure out solutions to not only my spine but my digestion and other health problems. Dr. Zach has helped my teenage boys through sports related injuries and helped prevent injuries by giving them strengthening exercises to work on. Plus we love the roller tables!!
Best personal attention and professional treatment from Dr. Brook and staff. They make you feel welcome and the treatments help you heal and remove muscle aches and pains!
Dr Zach has been able to change my digestive system, increased my ROM in both my neck, back and extremities. He solved my knee pain and is currently in the process of putting my pelvis in alignment. It has been a remarkable experience. I had been seeking care from other doctors for over 3 years. He has given me answers and relief in less than a month and a half. His staff have been the friendliest and most efficient staff I have encountered in a long time. They treat you as a friend and have accommodated my ever changing and unpredictable work schedule in every way without judgement or objection. T Just a beautiful place to finally heal !! I am forever grateful.
I have been going to Dr Brooke for about 4 months now, and I can't say enough good things about her, and the whole office staff. Very flexible hours and they are always able to fit you in when something comes up unexpectedly. I'm now on a monthly wellness plan and appreciate every visit.
I started going to Dr Brooke when I was pregnant and having a lot of hip pain, she was highly recommended to me by another pregnant woman I knew. She made my pregnancy so much easier; and when I learned that I was going to get induced she spent so much time with me getting me prepared and gave me so many helpful tips. After my son was born I started bringing him in right away and the nights he slept the best were after he saw Dr Brooke. We bring him in for absolutely everything now - from him not pooping to him not sleeping- and she always makes room for us, even if it’s last minute. Most recently our son has been getting ear infections and I had no idea that there was anything more that we could do to help him. She adjusted his ears and neck and that night he slept better than he has in weeks, and has his appetite back. I 100% recommend Dr Brooke to anyone who’s pregnant or has children, she has been a god send for our family.
