Equine Kinesiology Taping & Clinical Application

Professional |Aligned to RQF Level 5 (UK Rural Skills)

Course Description

Kinesiology taping has become an increasingly valuable tool within equine therapy, offering support for performance, recovery, and rehabilitation when applied with precision and clinical understanding. But effective taping goes beyond application—it requires the ability to assess the horse, understand dysfunction, and make informed decisions.

 

This comprehensive Level 5 programme provides a structured and clinically focused approach to equine kinesiology taping. Through a blend of online learning and hands-on clinical intensives, you will explore how taping interacts with the horse’s skin, fascia, and neuromuscular systems, and how it can be used to influence movement, reduce discomfort, and support functional improvement.

 

You will develop the ability to assess movement, identify restrictions, and apply tailored taping strategies based on individual presentation. With a strong emphasis on clinical reasoning, case-based learning, and real-world application, this course prepares you to integrate taping confidently into rehabilitation and performance programmes.

 

As demand continues to grow for practitioners who can apply advanced, evidence-informed techniques, this programme is designed to position you at the forefront of equine therapy practice.

Equi-Ed delivers this programme through a blended learning format, combining online study with in-person clinical intensives to ensure both flexibility and practical competence.

 

The course is structured over approximately 6 months and includes:

 

Phase 1 (Months 1–4):
– Online learning modules and recorded lectures
– In-person Clinical Intensives with hands-on training
– Development of core taping skills and assessment techniques

 

Phase 2 (Months 4–6):

If you’re looking to expand your clinical skillset and deepen your understanding of equine therapy, this course is designed for you. It is particularly suited to equine massage therapists, bodyworkers, rehabilitation practitioners, and professionals working within performance or multidisciplinary settings.

 

You’ll gain a structured, clinically focused education that builds both your hands-on ability and your decision-making skills. The blended learning format allows you to study flexibly while still benefiting from in-person practical training with real horses.
