About IASTM Tools
IASTM stands for Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation; instruments that support the mobilisation of soft tissue. The FASCIQ® Tools are made of high-grade AISA 304 stainless steel. This material resonates allowing you, through the Tools, to scan and palpate the tissue to detect fascial restrictions even better than with your hands.
About VetkinTape®
VetkinTape is a medical tape or kinesiology tape designed specifically for veterinary use. It is an adhesive tape made from a breathable, waterproof, and hypoallergenic material.
Uses include:
- Alleviating injured muscles (pain relief and stimulates circulation)
- Generating an improvement in recovery times and performance
- Realignment of biomechanical and postural dysfunction
Equine Kinesiology Taping
Equine Kinesiology Taping is a fairly new and revolutionary technique used to help horses recover from injuries, reduce pain, and improve performance. VetkinTape is the first and only equine kinesiology tape specifically designed to support the equine athlete. VetkinTape's equine kinesiology tape provides a strong and flexible support to the muscles, tendons and ligaments without adding bulk or restricting movement. It is made of a thin and breathable cotton that can be applied in multiple directions to support the body’s natural movement. With VetkinTape, veterinarians, trainers and riders can provide their horses with the best possible support for performance and recovery.
Canine Kinesiology Taping
Canine kinesiology taping with VetkinTape is a great way to treat a variety of canine conditions. It is a type of elastic adhesive tape that is applied to the skin in order to provide support and stability to the musculoskeletal system. The tape works by stimulating the underlying muscles and providing support to the joints and ligaments, allowing them to function better. VetkinTape can be used to treat injuries, aid in rehabilitation, reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and reduce pain. Additionally, the tape can help to improve balance and coordination, as well as increase range of motion and flexibility. This makes VetkinTape an ideal treatment option for dogs during recovery or rehabilitation periods.
Can I use VetkinTape® on every animal
In theory, VetkinTape® can be applied to any animal. However, most people apply it on either horses or dogs. VetkinTape® has been known to be used on other animals including cats, camels and even lizards over the years!
Does the coat length matter when applying tape?
VetkinTape® can be used on different coat lengths with the right surface preparation, stretching, and technique. The amount of stretch applied must be appropriate for each application to be successful. You will need to use more stretch on longer coats and less stretch on shorter coats. VetkinTape® is designed to stick to fur, not skin, so when taping an animal that has recently been groomed (such as a horse or dog), you should be extra careful. In some cases pre-taping spray might come in handy
