Application: What, Why, and How (Back Support & Decompression)
- What: Targets the thoracic and lumbar spine for support, stability, and decompression to relieve pain, promote healing, and improve posture/movement
- Why: Decompression taping relieves pain and swelling after trauma or kissing spines; support taping helps maintain alignment and develop muscle memory after injury or chiropractic work
- How: Use EquiTecs 4-way stretch tape (over vertebrae, up to 50% stretch; along back muscles, 10% stretch). For decompression: let tape fully recoil before placing ends; for support: do not allow recoil before setting ends. Always tape with horse’s head down for alignment. For muscle relaxation: use 2-way tape, 10% stretch, insertion to origin if muscles are hypertonic. Full demo included in course
Unique Clinical Notes
- Longevity: For muscle memory, tape for 6–12 weeks; after back injury, 12 weeks
- Most common mistakes: overstretching, improper alignment, not addressing outside causes (saddle fit, training, feeding)
- Back soreness often linked to weak core or compensatory pain from hocks/stifles
- Allow tape ends to fully recoil before placing (for decompression)
- Invest in full-body conditioning for lasting results
