How does Equi-Tape® work?

Equi-Tape® is a therapeutic and performance solution that harnesses the intricate anatomy of a horse’s skin and fascia to deliver significant physiological benefits. The tape is applied to the hair using varying techniques and degrees of stretch, thereby generating a recoil effect that triggers three primary phenomena. Firstly, the soft tissues are influenced, followed by the stimulation of nerves and receptors. Finally, the musculoskeletal structures are supported, resulting in a holistic approach to promoting the horse’s well-being. The tape’s application creates a micro-massage effect that helps to increase circulation, reduce inflammation, and promote lymphatic drainage. Furthermore, the tape’s ability to stimulate nerve receptors enhances proprioception, which is crucial for the horse’s balance, coordination, and overall performance. By utilizing Equi-Tape®, horse owners and trainers can help their equine partners achieve optimal physical health and performance.

What is the Equi-Taping™ Methodology

The Equi-Taping™ Methodology, a highly systematic approach to achieving successful taping applications, was created by Dr. Beverly Gordon in 2012. This innovative methodology is based on equine science, anatomy, and physiology, and is the only education of its kind in the world to have multiple accreditations, including veterinary CE credits. As the creators of the equine elastic kinesiology taping modality, we take great pride in sharing our educational findings with the world. Our methodology has been developed with great care and attention to detail, ensuring that each application is tailored to the specific needs of the equine body. With the Equi-Taping™ Methodology, you can be assured that your horse will receive the best possible care and treatment.
