Bring the Haddock Method into your clinic, hospital, school, or association

Equine Functional Taping + Biomechanical Taping education built for real clinical workflow.

If you’re training veterinarians, technicians, students, or practitioner teams, this is where EquiTecs fits.

What you get:

  • A protocol-based system your staff can apply consistently across shifts
  • CE-accredited education (where applicable) with lifetime access to evolving protocols
  • A horse-specific taping system designed for comfort, swelling management, and external stabilization

Why clinics adopt this (the operational reasons)

Why clinics adopt this (the operational reasons)

Clinics don’t need another “modality.” They need tools that:

  • Reduce variability between clinicians and shifts
  • Decrease labor-heavy cycles (especially swelling management)
  • Support clearer, more consistent rehab plans and discharge instructions
  • Expand what the facility can offer with a less invasive, evidence-informed approach

The Haddock Method was built to be teachable, repeatable, and documentable—so it works in real medicine, not just ideal scenarios.

What the Haddock Method is (plain English)

The Haddock Method is a structured education + implementation pathway that trains your team to:

  • Select the correct objective (comfort, swelling, support/stability, neurological support, etc.)
  • Choose the correct tape type (2-way vs 4-way) for the job
  • Apply to a clear standard (stretch, position, anchors, duration)
  • Track markers of success and troubleshoot quickly

This is not generic tape education adapted from human models. It’s a horse-specific Functional Taping system built from the ground up for equine biomechanics and clinical demands.

What problems it helps you solve (clinical + workflow)

1) Comfort support (pain modulation)

Therapeutic taping has published research supporting pain modulation and functional improvement. In a clinic setting, that can mean:

  • Better tolerance of rehab work
  • Cleaner movement quality during recovery
  • Less “white-knuckle” handling for sensitive cases

2) Swelling management with less labor + less material burn

Swelling is expensive:

  • Wrap materials
  • Re-wrap cycles
  • Staff time per patient

When protocols are standardized, many facilities see a meaningful reduction in hands-on time and consumable usage tied to swelling management.

3) External stabilization + biomechanics (the game changer)

This is where clinics and hospitals light up.

With 4-way stretch biomechanical taping and the OIO Biomechanics framework, teams can apply structured force strategies designed to support complex stabilization needs—up to and including applications that can reduce or even stop overextension (application-dependent).

This is the lane for cases like:

  • Angular limb deformities
  • Contracted tendons
  • Select birth defects
  • Equine scoliosis and complex compensation patterns

What’s included (per enrolled staff member)

Each staff member enrolled in the Haddock Method package receives:

  • EFT Certification (20 CE hours)
  • OIO Biomechanics (25 CE hours; advanced / pre-qualification required)
  • Basics Course
  • Application Library + Protocol Library (mobile-friendly)
  • Four printed books shipped from Florida:
  • Quick Start Guide
  • Stick With Success
  • EFT Textbook
  • OIO Textbook
  • Lifetime digital access (protocols evolve; your team stays current)
  • 16 rolls of tape
  • 1 towel, 1 pair of scissors

Group enrollment rate (5+ staff/students)

If you’re planning a team rollout (5+ staff/students), ask about our group enrollment rate and implementation support options.

Implementation (how facilities roll this out)

Most clinics implement in a simple, high-success sequence:

  1. Train a lead team (EFT Certification first)
  2. Standardize objective selection using the Protocol Library
  3. Execute + troubleshoot using the Application Library
  4. Add OIO Biomechanics for stabilization/biomechanics cases
  5. Optional: schedule an in-person practicum for hands-on standardization

In-person practicum option: $1,000 per person (in addition to the education package), typically scheduled after the team completes the digital training.

FAQs

Is this a product or a training program?

It’s an education + implementation system. Tape is a tool; the differentiator is the protocol-based training and decision-making framework.

How fast can a team use this clinically?

Many facilities begin integrating foundational applications immediately after EFT Certification, then expand as staff competency increases.

Do we have to do OIO Biomechanics?

No. OIO is advanced and best suited for facilities that want a deeper biomechanics/stabilization framework.

How do you handle staff turnover?

Because the training includes lifetime access to the libraries and protocols, onboarding new staff is significantly easier than rebuilding a system from scratch.

How do we get tape for clinical use and take-home?

We’ll map the best supply path for your facility (clinical use + take-home options) on the Facility Fit Call.
