When taping hands and feet, extra-sticky RockTape is my go-to for durability, usually lasting hours to a full day depending on activity and temperature.

This week’s video explores hand taping for pain and swelling, backed by published research and real-world clinical experience. 

Evidence continues to support a clear theme: taping combined with exercise can lead to better outcomes than exercise alone.
