Interesting read........ for the horse enthusiast.

- Saddle/girth pressures of more than 13kPa to peak pressure of 35kPa can cause ischemia - a lack of blood supply to the tissue - leading to bruising, capillary damage, muscle atrophy, ulceration and scarring.
- Girth pressure mapping reveals a peak pressure in EXCESS of 106kPa - 3 x times the ischemic baseline at a gallop in racehorses.
- Peak girth pressure reduces hindlimb protraction - stride length, knee flexion and hock flexion.
- Girth tension affects breathing apparatus of the horse - increasing fatigue, reducing performance.

Kinesio Taping for MSK pain 🕵️‍♂️

Potential therapeutic effects of taping:
- Improved blood circulation and lymphatic drainage of the subcutaneous space
- Reduction of chemical mediators with Myofascial pain - decreasing inflammation
- Acting on proprioception thus joint position and nociception receptibility, reducing pain.
- Safe and effective treatment to support strains/ sprains.

Patient feedback has been good!
