What Are The Benefits Of Tape For Horses?
Enhances Muscles
Kinesiology tape for horses increases muscle contraction even in weak muscles, helps your horse stay healthy and efficient, helps relax over-stressed muscles, tendons, joints, and ligaments, reduces the risk of strain injuries, and is an integral part of a training program.
Stabilizes Joints
Kinesiology tape for horses can be wrapped tightly around injured or unstable joints to support the soft tissues surrounding the joint mechanically. Improve your horse’s movement quality and potential by increasing joint and muscle flexibility and strength. It provides extra support to vulnerable areas and reduces load stress.
Pain Relief
Kinesiology tape for horses stimulates subcutaneous nerve endings by stretching the hair. When mechanoreceptors are stimulated, nociceptors are inhibited, thereby indirectly relieving pain. At the same time, it also improves blood and lymph circulation, reducing inflammation risk.
Enhance Athletic Performance
Equine kinesiology tape is made of soft material, which can improve the horse’s comfort and relaxation, allowing it to move its limbs more freely. It can also help the horse maintain correct posture, allowing for more natural and comfortable movements while enhancing its explosive power, flexibility, coordination, and athletic performance.
How To Use Kinesiology Tape For Horses?
SDFT/DDFT
1. Apply 5cm or 10cm wide equine kinesiology tape along the length of the SDFT/DDFT and suspensory ligament without any stretch.
2. Apply a 5cm decompression strip across the area of soreness/lesion diagnosed on ultrasound.
LUMBOSACRAL
Apply two pieces of 5 cm wide equine kinesiology tape with zero to 50% stretch adjacent to the spine, starting at the gluteal tongue and ending at the base of the dock. This can be applied to the horse in neutral or lumbar stretch.
INFLAMMATION
1. Apply 5- or 10-cm wide kinesiology tape for horses, depending on the treatment area. Alternatively, use pre-cut edema strips. Anchor the uncut end and then apply each “tentacle” with zero to 50% stretch over the area of inflammation.
2. Repeat with a second piece to create the “lattice” pattern shown.
SIJ
Apply three pieces of 5cm kinesiology tape for horses without stretch in a star formation over the lumbosacral junction or the SIJ of concern.
