EFT Carpus Support

The carpus (knee) is a hinge joint that should only flex in one direction — and when it’s injured, overextended, or post-surgical, every step compounds the damage. This 24-minute course teaches the biomechanics of the carpal joint, why overextension is the most common injury, and how EFT taping provides active support that speeds recovery, reduces swelling, and in many cases reduces the need for pain medication. Built for owners, practitioners, trainers, and rehab professionals.

24-Minute Digital Course — Lifetime Access via EquiTecs App

• What it is: Step-by-step protocol for carpus (knee) support — ideal for injury, surgery, chronic issues, and swelling.
• What you get: Instant, on-demand video instruction + application demo.
• How it works: EquiTecs 4-Way Tape is engineered with energy return — meaning as the horse moves, the tape stores and releases energy back into the tissue. This reduces how hard the carpal joint and surrounding structures have to work during motion, providing active biomechanical support rather than passive compression. When swelling is present, 2-Way Tape is layered over the support application to promote lymphatic drainage simultaneously.
• Access: Anytime, on any device. Lifetime included.

Application: What & Why

• What: Provides support and stability for the carpus (knee), reduces swelling, and helps prevent overextension and arthritis progression
• Why: Safer and more effective than stall rest alone — speeds recovery, reduces need for pain medication, and improves comfort from the first application

Unique Clinical Notes

• Overextension is the most common carpal injury — tape with carpus bent for correct positioning
• Carpus is a simple hinge joint and should not flex medially or laterally
• Support taping naturally draws inflammation out; add circulation taping if fluid pools
• Post-surgical taping reduces swelling and pain and speeds recovery
• Always tape around (not over) sutures or staples

Common Questions

• How do I access? Instantly via the EquiTecs App on any device. Lifetime access included.
• What do I need? EquiTecs 4-Way EFT Tape (2"/3") and 2-Way EFT Tape (2") if swelling is present (both sold separately), clean/dry area, and 24 minutes.
• How does it work? Tape supports the carpus, restricts harmful motion, and reduces swelling.
• Is it safe? Yes — tape is engineered for horse hair and designed to give way if misapplied. Do not tape over wounds, sutures, or staples.

Markers of Success

• Immediate relief and improved comfort
• Reduction in swelling and improved range of motion (as indicated)
