Kinesiology tape was all the rage among athletes at the last Olympic Games in London. Now, the tape is available to equine athletes. Called Equi-Tape, the elastic kinesiology therapeutic tape encourages greater freedom of movement while still supporting joints and muscles. According to researchers, improved movement and circulation can act to reduce pain and encourage healing, and aid muscle metabolism by increasing blood supply to the working muscles to improve performance. Equi-Tape is non-medicated, latex-free and is designed to stay on in water, humidity and cold weather. For more on the tape, visit www.equi-tape.com.
