English term or phrase: To dabble in tape
Hello,

I am translating a document for a fitness company and have encountered a phrase for which I would need your help. The sentence seems to be a motto: "Movement is our Business That Dabbles in Tape", I have found this on the internet : "we think of ourselves as a movement company that dabbles in tape".

Any suggestion is welcome! :)

A lot of people think of Rocktape as a taping company. We like to think of ourselves as a “Movement company that dabbles in tape.” As with the tape, Rockblades are another tool to help our medical professionals help our patients decrease pain, move better, and ultimately perform better.

Rockblades come in an attractive case including a tub of RockRub emollient and RockWipes to clean the tools and the bodypart prior to taping.

(Merriam-Webster)
to dabble: to take part in an activity in a way that is not serious

L'idée étant que Rocktape ne s'arrête pas aux bandes kinésio, mais propose également toute une gamme de produits connexes, dans un style "cool" et "relax".

PS. Si vous optez pour "qui touche à tout", attention, c'est un verbe - pour l'adjectif, ne pas oublier les traits d'union (touche-à-tout) :)

  -> Oui justement, c'est provocateur, exprès. En anglais aussi "dabble" est presque péjoratif. C'est un style !
