Equi-tape is the original kinesiology tape for horses and dogs and is specifically designed to withstand 'animal grade' conditions. There are a wide variety of indications for use of Equi-tape, including but not limited to; assistance with use of muscles during rest/exercise, support of muscular injuries, fascial release, circulatory (blood and lymph) drainage and reduction in scar tissue (whether fresh or fibrosed).
The mechanism by which Equi-Tape® affects the body is completely different from that of non-elastic athletic tape and can often times be confusing. The effect of Equi-Tape® is based on its ability to interact with the skin and associated neurosensory and mechanoreceptors. Elastic kinesiology Eqtaui-Tape® does not compress the tissue as does other types of tapes and taping methods. Its design characteristics and associated application.
It is an elastic cotton 2-way stretch tape technology containing advanced adhesive properties for ease of application, removal and placement longevity and therefore is perfect for use in both training and conditioning as well as in rehabilitation and clinical recovery.
