Episode #12: Taping Super Series Day 1
Several years back I was sitting in the stands at a horse show and heard the people behind me talking about kinesiology tape. “How the heck can a tiny piece of tape effect a horse?!?!”
It is a very valid question, and it was all I could do not to turn around and explain!
Join me in this episode where I unpack the science of taping.
I look at using the hair of the horse and all of its nerve endings to our great advantage.
This of course leads into the Pain Gate Theory, and how we can use tape as a stimulus to reduce pain signals too the brain.
I go beyond the mechanical uses of tape in muscle inhibition and activation. I chat about its use in lymphatic situations, and even as an outside input to send different information to the central nervous system about movement quality.
This is an information packed episode, full of scientific reasons to look at kinesiology taping for your horse.
