EFT SI Support

For horses with SI (sacroiliac) instability, this application teaches biomechanics support logic for pelvic stability and movement control—often used when the horse shows “mystery hind-end” problems like bunny hopping, swapping leads, refusing one lead, won’t hold canter, can’t sit, dragging toes, or stopping crooked—using EquiTecs 4‑Way Stretch Tape (multidirectional stretch) for safer, more reproducible outcomes.

Course Overview

EquiTecs EFT SI (Sacroiliac) Support Application

A 35-minute, on-demand digital course focused on the Equine Functional Taping (EFT) protocol for SI joint stabilization and performance. Includes a clinical lecture and step-by-step demo. Instantly accessible via the EquiTecs App (Apple, Google, and web). Lifetime access included.

Desktop view of the EquiTecs equine functional taping digital course interface featuring an instructional video lecture on pelvic stability and SI joint stabilization protocols.

What You'll Learn:

  • Why SI support is critical for injury recovery and athletic performance
  • How SI instability affects confidence, sleep, and movement
  • Tape selection, application, and timing for optimal results
  • How to use SI taping to prevent compensatory issues
  • Success markers and troubleshooting

What this application does (and doesn’t do)

Does

  • Provides a biomechanics-based SI (sacroiliac) support application focused on pelvic stability and movement control
  • Targets common “mystery hind-end” patterns (lead issues, swapping, bunny hopping, crookedness, toe dragging) by supporting a more stable movement strategy
  • Uses EquiTecs 4‑Way Stretch Tape (multidirectional stretch) to create a more stable, more controlled support outcome
  • Gives you a repeatable, step-by-step application (not “random strips and hope”)
  • Supports real-world goals like rehab support, performance movement quality, and prevention

Doesn’t

  • Doesn’t replace the need to address the driver of SI instability (conditioning, workload, mechanics, strength, saddle/fit variables, etc.)
  • Doesn’t work as intended if you swap tape types—2‑Way tape is not a structural support tool
  • Doesn’t mean “set it and forget it”—SI support should be reassessed and adjusted as the horse changes

What you need (Biomechanics Support System)

For true support/stability outcomes, this application is built around the EquiTecs biomechanics system:

Key Course Details

  • Format: 100% digital, instant on-demand access via EquiTecs App
  • Length: 35 minutes (lecture + application demo)
  • Access: Lifetime (learn at your own pace, revisit anytime)
  • Includes: Video lecture, clinical protocol, step-by-step demo
  • Who It’s For: Owners, practitioners, trainers, rehab pros, competitors

Application: What & Why (SI Support)

  • What: Targets the sacroiliac joint for stabilization—reduces compensatory issues after hind-end or back injuries and boosts athletic confidence
  • Why: Pure support technique—stabilizes SI joint before/after chiropractic adjustment, during rehab, or as part of a performance routine; encourages restorative sleep and rapid positive changes

Who this is for

  • Horses with suspected or known SI (sacroiliac) instability
  • Horses with “mystery hind-end” symptoms like:Bunny hoppingWon’t hold canterSwaps leads / cross-canteringRefuses one leadCan’t sit behind / struggles to coil and carryHind end feels disconnectedDragging toesStiff one directionStops crooked / backs crookedCan’t do straight lines (drifts, falls in/out)Refuses the jump / hunters bumpCan’t back up straight or comfortably
  • Horses in rehab or performance work where you need better pelvic stability while conditioning catches up
  • Horses with a history of SI injections where the pattern keeps returning and you need a biomechanics-based stability plan (not just another short-term patch)

Unique Clinical Notes

  • Most common mistakes: overstretching, poor placement, not relaxing muscles around pelvis
  • SI instability frequently overlooked—soft tissue work is key for lasting results
  • SI stabilization encourages longer, restorative sleep and boosts athletic confidence
  • For fractures or chronic instability, layer tape for extra support
  • If SI taping isn't resolving issues, root cause may be elsewhere—continue taping while investigating

Markers of Success

  • Greater stability and confidence
  • Immediate relaxation (licking, chewing, yawning, deep breathing)
  • Smoother movement, willingness to go forward in both leads, less defensiveness
  • Stronger, more explosive movement
  • Longer lay-down sleep periods
  • Tape stays secure (no bunching or peeling)

FAQ

My horse is bunny hopping—could that be SI (sacroiliac)?

It can be. Bunny hopping is a common “mystery hind-end” sign when pelvic stability and movement control break down. This SI support application is designed to improve stability so the hind end can organize more consistently.

My horse won’t hold canter—can SI support help?

Yes. Difficulty holding canter often shows up when the pelvis can’t stabilize under load. This application supports pelvic stability and can improve movement quality immediately when applied correctly.

My horse swaps leads / cross-canters—could this be SI?

It can be. Swapping leads is frequently a stability/control problem behind. SI support is used to help the horse maintain a more consistent pattern through transitions and sustained work.

My horse refuses one lead—what does that usually mean?

A one-lead refusal is often a red flag for asymmetry in stability, strength, or control behind. This SI support application is commonly used when the horse can’t organize the pelvis consistently enough to hold the lead.

My horse can’t sit behind—could SI instability be part of it?

Yes. “Can’t sit” is often a pelvic stability issue. This application supports mechanics so the horse can start to build correct strength and carrying capacity instead of compensating.

My horse’s hind end feels disconnected—what do I do?

That “disconnected” feeling is a classic description of pelvic instability. SI support is used to improve stability and movement control so conditioning work actually sticks.

My horse is dragging toes behind—could that be SI?

It can be. Toe dragging can show up when the hind end can’t stabilize and cycle cleanly. SI support is used to improve mechanics and consistency behind.

My horse is stiff one direction / can’t do straight lines—could this be SI?

It can be. Stiffness one direction, drifting, and inability to hold straight lines often show up when the pelvis can’t stabilize evenly. SI support can help the horse organize more consistently.

My horse stops crooked or backs crooked—can SI support help?

Yes. Crooked stops and crooked backing are common when pelvic stability is compromised. This application is designed to support stability so straightness is easier to maintain.

My horse refuses the jump / has a “hunters bump”—is this SI related?

It can be. Refusals and a hunters bump often correlate with pelvic instability and poor force transfer behind. SI support is used to improve stability and movement control so the horse can use the hind end more correctly.

My horse keeps needing SI injections—what does that tell me?

If SI injections are a repeating pattern, that’s a red flag that you may be managing symptoms without fully addressing the root driver (stability, mechanics, conditioning, workload). This application is built to support biomechanics and stability so you can pursue a more durable plan.

Can I see an immediate change when SI support is applied correctly?

Yes. A correct support application often produces an immediate improvement in movement quality. That doesn’t mean structures are instantly healed—it means the tape is doing its job so the horse can move in a more correct pattern while tissues heal and condition.

Do I need 4‑Way tape for SI support, or can I use 2‑Way?

For support/stability, you need EquiTecs 4‑Way Stretch Tape (multidirectional stretch). 2‑Way tape is for functional goals (decompression, circulation/lymphatics, neuro, fascia, muscle)—not structural support.

Is this SI support or lumbar support?

This is SI (sacroiliac) support. Lumbar support is a separate application.

Can my horse train or go out to turnout in this application?

Yes. When applied correctly, the goal is improved biomechanics during movement—because better mechanics now supports better healing and conditioning over time.
