EFT Muscle Relaxation Hamstring

The same neurosensory GTO stimulation mechanism that drives the Muscle Relaxation (Back) application — applied to the hamstrings. The goal is the same: stimulate the Golgi Tendon Organ to trigger the muscle’s own relaxation reflex, encouraging it to lengthen, release, and stop holding. But the hamstring presents a unique challenge that the back does not: the sheer size of the muscle group and the scale of the horse mean that how you position the horse during application is critical to staying within the tape’s stretch limits. Get the position wrong and the tape fails. This course teaches exactly how to set the horse up correctly — because in EFT, both the tape and the technique have to be specifically engineered for an animal this large. Built for owners, practitioners, trainers, and rehab professionals.

25-Minute Digital Course — Lifetime Access via EquiTecs App

• What it is: Step-by-step neurosensory GTO protocol for hamstring relaxation and lengthening — ideal for horses with tight hamstrings, shortened stride, SI/pelvis/lumbar issues, and as an alternative to SI injections.
• What you get: Instant, on-demand video instruction + application demo.
• How it works: EquiTecs 2-Way Tape is applied neurosensory-style to stimulate the Golgi Tendon Organ in the hamstring muscle-tendon junction — triggering the muscle’s own relaxation reflex and encouraging it to lengthen and release. The critical teaching in this course is horse body positioning during application: the hamstrings are large muscles on a large animal, and the horse must be positioned correctly to ensure the tape is applied within its functional stretch range. Applied incorrectly, the tape will fail. Applied correctly, it works continuously for as long as it’s worn. Paired with the SI Support application, the results are exponential.
• Access: Anytime, on any device. Lifetime included.

Course Overview

EquiTecs EFT Muscle Relaxation Hamstring Application

A 25-minute, on-demand digital course teaching the Equine Functional Taping (EFT) neurosensory GTO protocol for hamstring relaxation and lengthening. Ideal for athletes, horses with SI, pelvis, or lumbar issues, and anyone seeking to improve stride and comfort. Instantly accessible via the EquiTecs App (Apple, Google, and web). Lifetime access included.

What You'll Learn

• How GTO stimulation triggers the hamstring’s own relaxation reflex — the same mechanism as the Muscle Relaxation (Back) protocol
• Why horse body positioning during application is the critical variable for this muscle group
• How to position the horse correctly to stay within the tape’s functional stretch range
• Why pairing this application with SI Support produces exponential results
• How consistent use can reduce or eliminate the need for SI injections

Key Course Details

• Format: 100% digital, instant on-demand access via EquiTecs App
• Length: 25 minutes (lecture + application demo)
• Access: Lifetime — learn at your own pace, revisit anytime
• Includes: Video lecture, clinical protocol, step-by-step demo
• Who It’s For: Owners, practitioners, trainers, competitors, rehab pros

Application: What & Why

• What: Neurosensory GTO stimulation to encourage hamstring lengthening, release chronic tightness, and improve stride — for horses with SI/pelvis/lumbar issues or shortened hind end movement
• Why: Tight hamstrings shorten stride, create sensitivity, and drive compensatory loading through the SI and lumbar region. This protocol addresses the root cause directly — and paired with SI Support, can meaningfully reduce or eliminate the need for ongoing SI injections

Unique Clinical Notes

• Horse body positioning during application is the most critical variable — the course teaches exactly how to set this up correctly for a horse of any size
• Less stretch is more — no more than 10% stretch; most people overstretch on first application
• Use extra-long anchors for secure adhesion on this large muscle group
• Leave tape on continuously — no off days needed for this application
• For chronic issues, plan for 8–12 weeks of consistent application
• Pair with SI Support Application for exponential results
• Incorporate long-stride work and stretching into the conditioning routine

Common Questions

• How do I access? Instantly via the EquiTecs App on any device. Lifetime access included.
• What do I need? EquiTecs 2-Way EFT Tape (sold separately), clean/dry area, and 25 minutes.
• How does it work? Tape stimulates the GTO to trigger the hamstring’s own relaxation reflex — encouraging it to lengthen and release continuously for as long as the tape is worn.
• Is it safe? Yes — tape is engineered for horse hair and designed to give way if misapplied. Do not tape over open wounds or irritated skin.

Markers of Success

• Increased hamstring length and relaxation
• Improved stride length and hind end comfort and freedom
• Reduced sensitivity and defensiveness in the hind end
• Exponential improvement when paired with SI Support Application
