Kinesiology taping

Helps with inflammation, pain, muscular tension and spasm, poor lymph and blood flow, fascial dysfunction, proprioception and awareness, scars, bruising and swelling, and tendon injuries.

Works by lifting the hair, skin and underlying fascia, increasing the space in the tissue underneath and thereby improving blood and lymph flow and aiding lymphatic drainage.

Also delivers a different input into the nerves in an area, helping to ‘distract’ the nociceptors which deliver pain signals to the body, reducing strain patterns and assisting in healing and pain relief.

The increased blood flow and feeling of the tape and the sensation it creates also makes the horse more aware of that muscle or part of their body, helping to stimulate muscles which are under-functioning.
