Kinesiology Taping

 

Equestrian Performance are advocates of Kinesiology taping which is used as indicated in both horse and rider.  Kinesiology tape stimulates cutaneous mechanoreceptors in the skin, to increase proprioception and aid neuromuscular re-education and is particularly useful for increasing awareness of the body 

 

Our results speak for themselves in the multiple winners that have been supported with Kinesiology tape.  Our tape is frequently seen on racehorses running for The Swanson Racing Yard, and has been labelled "Racing Stripes" because of the success we have experienced with it

We have had particular success with Kylie using kinesiology tape as a means of treating muscle problems and have had fantastic results. One particular horse that  was about to be retired, had  this means of treatment together with Kylie performing her routine exercises on him, and this has turned around his career, with two wins and numerous placings.
