- Format: 100% digital, instant on-demand access via EquiTecs App
- Length: 29 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, and How (Gluteal-Specific)
- What: Targets gluteal activation for improved propulsion, stride length, and muscle rebuilding after atrophy or injury.
- Why: Weak gluteals = SI, lumbar, hock, and stifle issues. Strong gluteals prevent breakdown and boost performance.
- How: Use EquiTecs 2-way stretch tape (2" or 3" depending on muscle size), 20% stretch max, origin (lumbar/pelvis) to insertion (back of femur). Muscle must be on stretch during application (not flexed). Application must follow muscle fiber direction for neurologic response. Leave tape on until recoil is lost or application goal is met. Full demo included in course
Unique Clinical Notes
- Activation is neurologic: directional recoil signals origin spindle fibers for true muscle engagement
- Only activate after acute injury resolves (use circulation/tear protocols first)
- Combine with strengthening exercises (hills, poles, varied terrain) for best results
- Most common mistakes: overstretching, incorrect origin/insertion, poor surface prep
- Markers of success: increased muscle tone, improved propulsion/stride, better quality of movement
Common Questions Answered
- How do I access? Instantly via the EquiTecs App on any device. Lifetime access included.
- What do I need? EquiTecs 2-way stretch tape (sold separately), clean/dry hair, and 29 minutes.
- How does it work? Tape provides neurologic signal for muscle activation—engages gluteals for strength and balance.
- Is it safe? Yes—tape is engineered for horse hair and designed to “give way” if misapplied for safety.
Markers of Success
- Increased muscle tone and engagement (take before/after photos)
- Longer, more powerful stride and improved propulsion
- Tape stays secure (no peeling or rolling)
