How Equi-Tape® Works: The Science & Mechanism

Equi-Tape® uses targeted decompression to gently lift the skin and fascia, increasing space for circulation, lymph flow, and nerve signaling. This action helps reduce pain, inflammation, and swelling, while supporting the body’s natural healing and movement.

  • Neuro Benefits: Equi-Tape® applications stimulate nerve endings in the skin and fascia, which can help retrain the nervous system, improve proprioception (body awareness), and encourage the formation of new neural pathways. This is especially valuable for horses recovering from injury, neurological conditions, or chronic compensation patterns.
  • Pain Relief & Comfort: By reducing pressure, improving circulation, and supporting healthy fascia, Equi-Tape® helps relieve discomfort from muscle tension, injuries, and post-surgical recovery.
  • Fascia & Lymphatic Health: Equi-Tape® mimics the effects of myofascial release massage, helping to break up adhesions, promote healthy fiber alignment, and improve hydration and nutrient delivery. Enhanced lymphatic drainage accelerates toxin removal and reduces swelling.

"Our rehab clients show improvements in movement and attitude within days of taping. The difference is remarkable. Equi-Tape® is a staple in our program."
