Have arrived in Leicester ahead of the workshop for a few days away. Same campsite as last year but we’re in a pod this time, super cute but no oven - I think flapjack cooking maybe a challenge! And yes these photos are taken on arrival - before we have filed every available space with tape, horse models, horse legs, buckets and more tape !

I met the lovely Duke today and his owner. Duke is a seasonal head shaker and his owner wanted to learn the head shaking kinesiology tape application to see if it might help.

The head isn’t an easy place to tape so first practice was on an easier part of the body before taping the Trigeminal nerve. Following the application we definitely saw a more relaxed and chilled Duke and as you can see in the video the trot round shows a big improvement.

I have to add, that just after I finished filming Duke gave a head shake so it hasn’t totally eliminated it but had made a positive difference !

equine PERFORM is the perfect k tape for this application ( link in the comments )

So good to be back at Philpots Manor School today for a Learn Equine Massage Workshop. Such a lovely group, we all enjoyed the warm sunshine and the lovely horses definitely enjoyed their massages!
Thank you to everyone that came and I’m really glad you enjoyed the day. I have to add the flapjack got an upgrade today, chocolate coated with only 2 pieces left was it a hit ??

Does coronary taping Improve your horses movement ? And get a FREE guide on how to tape the coronary band.

So I’m always excited by studies showing the positive effects of k tape but this one is a special one ! Esme Usher Equine Physiotherapist attended one of my k taping workshops last year and has just carried out a study at Harper Adams University using my tape Equine K Taping UK. The study looked at the effect of taping on carpal and tarsal flexion.

The results showed:

• Increased joint flexion when the tape was applied

• Changes that were both clinically and statistically significant

• Lasting effects even after the tape was removed

In simple terms - the tape didn’t just stay on, it influenced how the limb moved, and there’s less than a 2% chance these results occurred randomly.

What can we take from this?

This reinforces that high-quality kinesiology tape doesn’t just support - it promotes proprioceptive sensory input that can influence joint movement, improving mobility, coordination, and overall limb function.

Once the dissertation has been formally submitted, I’ll be able to share more detail, with the aim for this research to be submitted to a veterinary journal.

If you'd like a FREE step by step guide to learn this taping comment - free guide - in the comments and send me a quick fb message and I will send the guide by return ( please note as a business I can’t make the first contact so don’t forget to message me as well as comment on the post)

I met Sugar for the first time today, although I’ve known her owner for quite some time. What a super pony she is 🐴

She’s recently been struggling with headshaking, which her owner suspects was due to her bridle - now changed and the head shaking has stopped. She still showed sensitivity around her TMJ.

TMJ decompression taping is one of my favourite techniques, as it can provide real relief for sensitivity and discomfort in this area. Let me know if you’d like to know more.

I met the beautiful Oona today. She’s one of many horses affected by seasonal headshaking, and her owner had seen my recent post about how K tape can help and wanted to learn more.

Thankfully, Oona wasn’t showing any symptoms today, but we took the time to go practice the taping so her owner feels confident and prepared when she might need it.

It’s not the easiest of tapings but as with everything practice helps.

Fingers crossed Oona stays happy and symptom free, but if not, she’s got the support ready. 💚

What takes a minute but gives hours of comfort?

Applying k tape to your horses back is not only super easy but it only takes a few minutes ! In return it can offer hours of comfort to tired muscles, reduce tension and help recovery.

I’ve used equine FOCUS Equine K Taping UK in this video ( link in the comments) it works really well when you need a little more support or if your horse is unclipped, but all my tapes are great for supporting the back muscles.

Hope this has been useful and let me know if you’d like more videos.

I’ve had lots of new followers recently, so I just wanted to say hi and welcome! 😊

I’m Denise, an equine therapist, and I’m passionate about equine kinesiology taping, so much so that I developed my own equine tape Equine K Taping UK

If you’re new to kinesiology tape, you might not know it’s not just for when something’s gone wrong. It’s also a fantastic preventative tool - helping to reduce tension, support movement, and lower the risk of injury.

During rehab and recovery, it enhances communication between the brain and body. This helps improve coordination, encourage correct and balanced movement patterns, and ensures the right muscles switch on at the right time.

It can also help to reduce swelling and inflammation, provide pain relief, improve circulation, and support the lymphatic system - all helping in recovery.

And that’s just some of the benefits !!

If you’d like to learn more, or you’re just curious, I run small, very hands-on workshops. They’re suitable for everyone: therapists (CPD certification), trainers, and horse owners and I have lots of venues throughout the UK.

For the best tape on the market (I’m totally biased of course 😄) please head to https://www.equinektapinguk.com/
Please feel free to message me with any questions about either!

Head shaking - Before and after kinesiology tape!

I’ve been contacted by 2 therapists in last the last 2 days asking about k taping for head-shaking - and yes it can help!!
Head shaking is often linked to Trigeminal nerve hypersensitivity -basically the nerve overreacting to normal things like light, wind or pollen. It can be very severe and very distressing for horse and owner.
Although there is no cure, taping the main nerve branches can help relieve symptoms. Scientists think that the lifting effect from the tape helps calm the nerve and reduces how strongly it fires. The constant pressure on the skin can also help ‘distract’ the nerve.

So pleased to see the difference it’s made to this horse - thanks
to Hannah The Physio Vet Nurse for letting me share her video and with permission from the owner.
