Kinesiology Taping

Kinesiology tape can be applied in all sorts of ways, and to almost all areas of the body. The primary way it works is creating a decompression effect by gently lifting up the hair and skin, allowing more space underneath for increased blood flow and reducing the amount of pressure on pain receptors. In addition, it provides continuous proprioceptive feedback to improve body awareness. EMpower Vet Physio uses Equine K Taping UK tape, which has four types of tape to ensure maximum efficacy. For example, one type of tape has small holes to promote the relief of swellings, whereas another is wider to use on larger areas of the body. There are also some lesser known applications of kinesiotape, such as using it for stability whilst travelling, which are all things that can be discussed and demonstrated to you.
