✨ Equine Kinesiology Taping - now available ✨

As many of you already know I’ve been quite excited to be able to add taping to my toolbox! I’ve been taped numerous times myself and could really feel an improvement. Because horses are so much more sensitive than us I’m convinced they’ll feel the benefits too!

What is K-Taping?

Kinesiology tape is a stretchy, elastic tape applied to a horse’s skin to support movement without restricting it. In simple words; it works by gently lifting the hair follicles in the skin, which helps to improve circulation, reduce swelling, provide pain relief and enhance body awareness (proprioception).

Widely used in human physiotherapy and sports medicine with strong results, it’s now becoming increasingly popular in equine care.

In horses, it may help to:

• Support posture and core activation
• Aid rehabilitation after injury
• Reduce muscle tension or swelling
• Reduce nerve pain or irritation (eg headshaking syndrome)
• Reduce paraspinal pain
• Aid in the management of chronic joint pathologies (KS, PSD, OA)

I will use K-taping alongside my manual therapies and electrotherapies to help reinforce and prolong their effects as part of a tailored treatment plan.

K-taping is a supportive, adjunct therapy—most effective when combined with appropriate rehab, training, and veterinary guidance.

The best news is, I will be able to show you how to apply the tape yourself to aid your horse in their daily life. There will be no extra charge for taping at regular appointments either.

✨ Hock osteoarthritis is something I see a lot—typically presenting as stiffness, reduced impulsion, and a shortened stride, especially when a horse is starting work or struggling to engage from behind. It most commonly affects the lower joints of the hock, where ongoing wear and tear leads to inflammation and discomfort.

I use radiofrequency therapy with Winback TECAR to help manage this, as it supports circulation, reduces inflammation, and promotes tissue repair—helping horses move more comfortably and freely.

I have recently started using the hands-free option a lot more for horses that are generally sensitive to touch around this area and it’s proving to be a big success. I’ve had significant reduction of swelling and pain levels with this treatment method.

Feel free to DM me for more info 🐎 ✨

It’s the fact that I’ve provided some pain relief and relaxation for a horse in discomfort that makes my heart jump. Doesn’t always happen, some horses are more guarded in their response, some like relax instantly. This boy has been on my books for a while now and the owner and I are convinced he recognises me when I come to treat. Such a lovely reward after a busy week working. 💓

🐴 Easy Shoulder Mobilisation 🐎

This exercise improves movement through the shoulder joint, supporting range of motion, stability, and coordination.

It activates the thoracic sling muscle group, helping lift and support the trunk between the forelimbs.

Benefits include:
• Better scapular glide
• Improved proprioception
• Reduced compensation patterns
• More efficient load distribution

For performance horses, this enhances stride length, shock absorption, and forelimb reach—key for power, precision, and longevity.

Really good results for this gorgeous boy this morning. ✨

What is Winback Radiofrequency or TECAR therapy?

TECAR (Capacitive & Resistive Energy Transfer) is an advanced, non-invasive radiofrequency therapy used to support tissue repair and optimise musculoskeletal function.

By stimulating endogenous heat and microcirculation, it helps to:
• Reduce pain and inflammation
• Enhance tissue elasticity
• Improve circulation and lymphatic flow
• Support recovery of tendons, ligaments, and muscle

Widely established in human sports medicine, TECAR is now an integral modality in equine performance and rehabilitation programmes.
