The TAP® Rocket Wrap Compression Floss is a powerful tool for athletes and fitness enthusiasts seeking to optimize their recovery and enhance their performance. This versatile compression band offers a wide range of applications, from reducing pain and swelling to improving mobility and range of motion.

How it Works:

Compression flossing involves wrapping the TAP® Rocket Wrap tightly around the desired area, starting distally (away from the heart) and moving proximally (towards the heart). This compression temporarily restricts blood flow to the area. When the wrap is removed, a surge of blood and nutrients rushes back into the tissues, promoting healing and restoring mobility.

Benefits:

• Improved Range of Motion: By breaking up scar tissue and adhesions, the TAP® Rocket Wrap can help restore normal joint range of motion and flexibility.
• Reduced Pain & Swelling: The compression and subsequent blood flow increase can help reduce pain and swelling associated with injuries or overuse.
• Enhanced Proprioception: The compression stimulates sensory receptors, improving body awareness and control.
• Increased Blood Flow: The rush of blood flow after removing the wrap delivers vital nutrients and oxygen to the tissues, promoting healing and recovery.

Applications:

The TAP® Rocket Wrap can be used on various body parts, including:

• Elbows
• Knees
• Shoulders
• Ankles
• Wrists
• And more

Important Considerations:

• Proper Use: It's crucial to educate yourself on the proper use of compression flossing before using the TAP® Rocket Wrap. Consult with a qualified healthcare professional or athletic trainer for guidance.
• Duration: The recommended compression time is between 20 seconds and 1 minute. Never exceed 2 minutes.
• Discomfort: Some discomfort is normal, but if you experience numbness, tingling, or excessive discoloration, remove the wrap immediately.
• Safety: The TAP® Rocket Wrap is not a medical device and should not replace professional medical care.

The following suggestions for use appeared in the T Nation forum:

"If you wrap a swollen joint or tissue, the technique for addressing the swollen joint will be different. You want to wrap the band toward the heart, a few inches below the swollen area (starting as far down the joint as possible is ideal), leaving no skin exposed, wrapping with a half-inch overlap, keeping about a 50% stretch in the band all the way around the joint, making sure to cover the entire area of the joint. Once the joint is compressed, move it around for a few minutes. Then take the band off for a few minutes so you give the tissue time to rebound and recover. Then wrap it again. This should be repeated for twenty minutes, or whenever you stop experiencing change. This is extremely effective, and you can restore a swollen joint to completely normal, and completely relieve the pain. This is your best technique for getting rid of inflammation and pain in an injured joint.

When you mobilize a joint or matted-down scar tissue, start a few inches below or above the compromised area, keeping a half-inch overlap in the band with a 75% stretch over the area you are working on and a 50% stretch over the remaining area. If you have band leftover after wrapping, make an X over the targeted area to create an additional shearing effect.

This can be uncomfortable, but it will not harm your joint or tissue in any way. Red marks can be left, which is normal, and disappear after a few minutes. If you start to go numb or get a tingly sensation (pins and needles), or your limb turns really white, take the band off. This normally happens at the two-minute mark if it happens. If you suddenly feel very claustrophobic, take the band off. This is intense, as most mobilizations are, but you have to be able to tell the difference between discomfort and feelings of numbness, tingling, claustrophobia, or a very white skin tone.

As a safety check, when you touch the skin, it should turn white, and then return to normal. If it doesn't, then you know it's time to remove the band. After you take the band off it's common for your skin to be very white, but within a few seconds you will notice increased blood flow into the area."
