My ultimate CPD
If you’ve been on one of my equine k taping workshops tape you’ll have heard me mention Dr Sybille Molle, the world’s leading authority on equine kinesiology taping. She originally worked with Kenzo Kaze ( the developer of k tape) and is responsible for creating the original protocols for horses.

This week has been mega exciting for me, I flew to Rome on Tuesday to attend a certified training programme run by The Animal Rehab Institute delivered by by Dr Molle.

This has been an amazing opportunity for me, learning from the best in our industry not only to learn new techniques but more importantly to further my knowledge and understanding of this amazing modality.

I can’t wait to share what I’ve learnt with you all, so watch this space!

So a very early start! A very different commute and definitely an upgrade from my usual CPD overnight accommodation.

I’m in Italy and about to embark on what I can only describe as my ultimate CPD. Any guesses???

Equine Kinesiology Taping Workshop - Was today the last day of summer, not sure but we were certainly lucky to have some very warm sunshine and it was very appreciated. Such a lovely group today thank you all for your amazing tapings, questions and enthusiasm.
A shout out to the amazing horse at Westerlands, super chilled and lovely, thanks for being such awesome models.

Friday for me is an admin day. Living in Brighton means that the traffic on a Friday afternoon is best avoided but there are up sides. On a sunny day you don’t have far to go to find a Mr Whippy 🍦🍦

Turning down the volume on PAIN
With so many benefits from using k tape, top of the list for me has always been pain relief, a holistic therapy that can help the bodies natural healing process is always my first go to, and that definitely includes when I’m trying to help myself not just clients 🐎
But how does a piece of tape actually help with pain relief.?

🐎Better Movement - Less Pain
The tape helps the body move the way it’s meant to by easing restrictions in the fascia, relaxing tight muscles, and stopping that “muscle guarding” response that can make pain worse and create compensatory patterns.

🐎 The Pain Gate Theory
In the pain gate mechanism K tape stimulates skin receptors. The signals from these receptors travel to the brain faster than pain signals, essentially blocking or interrupting them, and closing the gate. (Put uber simply!)

🐎Decompression
K tape when applied, gently lifts the skin, this creates more space in the underlying tissues. This extra space takes pressure off irritated nerve endings and helps calm inflammation, all helping to reduce the signals of pain.

So next time you have a bruise or aching back …. I challenge you to reach for the K tape and try for yourself, and I’d love to hear how you get on.

Happy international dog day 🦮

You’ve probably seen photos of my dog Harley before, he’s a rescue from the Caymen Islands. We love him to bits but he hasn’t been the easiest of dogs but I don’t think he had the easiest of starts, his left eye sight is poor, the vet thinks he’s been badly hit on the head as a puppy. Hard to imagine someone could do that to any animal isn’t it!
I’d love to see photo of your dog - please share in the comments.
