Kinesio Taping
Kinesio Taping, when used correctly, has many benefits to your equine. It can improve circulation and the flow of lymph through the body. It can reduce pain and inflammation. It can release tension and fascia, which in turn relaxes muscles and improves the range of movement.
K-Tape can be used to support the musculoskeletal system as part of strength and conditioning training. It can also be used as part of a rehabilitation program to aid recovery.
Each horse has individual requirements, depending on training, level of performance and whether it is recovering from injury.
K-tape can enhance recovery time, and is a non-invasive way of supporting the horse.
Angular Limb Deformity In Foals
In newborn foals we can sometimes see undesireable posture which can be supported and corrected using k-tape in conjunction with myofascial release. Timing of the application of the supporting tape is crucial to maximise benefits and results.
