| I took the class and use the tape on my horses with great success. HOWEVER, you have to be prepared to spend some jingle because if the horse isn't clean then the tape doesn't stick for long. I really like to use it on myself too. Stuff works amazing for soreness  |

| Just my personal input.
I have a daughter with disabilities. We taped her for a long time when trying to get her to walk. It literally made no difference in her whatsoever, except for skin irritation from the adhesive.
One thing that comes to mind if using on a horse - how can it be effective when it’s on TOP of the hair??? It’s not touching the skin, can move a little, and probably pulls the hair.
Just my two, inexperienced, uneducated thoughts!!!

Location: Running my kids somewhere. | I have used it on my horses. The chiropactor put it on and showed me what to do.
My daughter uses the human grade on her knee and it has helped her a great deal. |

Location: MO | I used it on me first (back when it was first coming around). It (and advil) was the only thing that helped with my shin splints. Literally the ONLY thing.
Just recently I started dealing with tendonitis in my elble/fore arm. It was used in conjuction with the arm band because using just the arm band wasn't helping. Dealt with it for two mointsh before a PT friend of mine workined on it and applied the tape. It stayed on approx 3 days each time we applied it for a total of 3 times. It worked AMAZINGLY to help get the inflammation out.
I did let a vet/horse chiro put it on my horses hip/s, right above the SI, after he was adjusted and it did seem to help the inflammation go down pretty quick. |

Location: LA Lower Alabama | Im not real bright so feel free to ignore but do you have to put it on loosely like a ban aid so it doesn't hinder your movement? So on the back it wouldn't need to move much but like the hip it would technically need to flex when the leg moved forward and again when it reached back assuming it was applied in a standing position. Clear as mud?
