- Equi-Tape®when used properly, can drastically reduce swelling and edema in horses and increase healing. A study published in the Equine Veterinary Science Journal demonstrates a reduction of swelling and edema post surgery when equine kinesiology tape was used. So how does it do this, here are just a few ways.

* Equi-Tape® Increases blood and lymph flow bringing oxygen rich blood to an injured area drastically increasing healing speed and removing swelling and edema.

* Equi-Tape® decompresses the soft tissue decreasing pain. One study reported kinesiology tape being more effective at pain reduction than naproxen and PT combination.

* Equi-Tape® supports the proper bio-mechanics allowing the body to move normally with a reduced stress load thereby creating an environment that allows for ligaments and tendons to heal much more quickly. Study published by Murray State University on Equi-Tape® and injured hocks.
