PRECUT KINESIOLOGY TAPE 5M

Taping your horse uses two main techniques: kinesiology taping, which involves applying elastic tape to muscles and joints for therapeutic benefit, and gentle tapping on the head or back to encourage relaxation and acceptance of touch.

Taping can also be used as a training method, similar to grooming, to remove tension, promote acceptance, and create a relaxation cue.

• Muscle and joint support: Taping offers gentle support for tendons, ligaments and joints, particularly useful in rehabilitation or for strained joints such as the sacroiliac.
• Pain relief: Taping can help relax muscles, reduce tension and relieve pain through its analgesic effect.
• Stimulation of circulation: Band application promotes blood and lymph flow, helping to drain excess fluids and reduce inflammation.
• Post-exercise recovery: After a demanding workout or competition, k-taping can help muscles recover more quickly by reducing soreness.
• Injury prevention: Taping can protect sensitive areas of the body, reducing the risk of injury before it develops.
• Correction of deformities: In foals, taping can help stabilize anatomical structures and correct angular deformities of the limbs.

Taping should not be considered as a stand-alone treatment, but rather as a complementary tool to an overall care approach, such as massage or veterinary treatment. For correct application, it is necessary to have undergone specific training to become a "Certified Taping Therapist".
