Oates Specialties Starting Pistol Accessories TAP™ Rocket Wrap Compression Floss

 Rocket Wrap Compression Floss

The TAP™ Rocket Wrap from Oates Specialties is compression floss that offers a wide range of applications that can aid in decreasing pain and swelling while increasing mobility and range of motion. Compression flossing was popularized by Dr. Kelly Starrett in his book with Glen Starrett titled, “Becoming a Supple Leopard: The Ultimate Guide to Resolving Pain, Preventing Injury, and Optimizing Athletic Performance.” In his book, Dr. Starrett called the process “Voodoo Flossing” and stated it was “the most powerful and effective [mobilization] method in terms of restoring position and motion.”

The TAP™ Rocket Wrap compression floss is a large rubber band of various widths (2″ & 4″) and lengths (7′ & 28′) used to tightly wrap the desired area starting distal, away from the heart, and wrapping proximal, toward the heart. For example, if the elbow is being wrapped, the wrap would start closer to the hand and move to the elbow. The tightness of the wrap can be altered based on individual tolerance. After an area is wrapped, it can be taken through a basic range of motion movements of the joint/limb, such as straightening and bending the elbow. Due to the tight compression of the wrap, blood flow to the area is reduced, such that when the wrap is quickly removed it causes a significant influx of blood and nutrients to rush back into the previously wrapped area. It is this deprivation of blood and nutrients followed by a flood of blood and nutrients that make the TAP™ Rocket Wrap from Oates Specialties so beneficial in repairing damaged tissue.
