Hestaband
Canada’s 1st Equine Kinesiology Tapes are made with tighter fabric weaves and strong, safe adhesives. It is the only equine taping company to have three very unique tapes. These were developed by a therapist to enhance the success of kinesiology tapes for use on animals. Yes, canine therapists use Hestaband too!
Humans have been using elastic training tape for years, so it was only a matter of time until it transferred to equestrian and canine sports. However, using a human grade kinesiology tape on animals is difficult. As therapists, to ensure the most successful outcome for our clients, we follow the principles and guidelines of
rehabilitation. Our assessment, accurate health history and clarifying questions will determine which stage of rehabilitation that the animal is in. And kinesiology tapes to use with rehabilitation had not changed much, until now. Hestaband was specifically developed for use with animals. The adhesives are much stronger, and the fabric weaves are tighter. We have 3 tapes, Cotton, Satin, and Lymph to offer support in all phases of the treatment plan.
