EFT Contracted Tendon Support

Contracted tendons in foals and adult horses are time-sensitive — the window for correction is real, and the approach matters. This 44-minute course goes beyond where to put the tape: it teaches why contracted tendons develop, the role of mineral deficiency, how biomechanical taping applies force to lengthen tendons, and why movement — not restriction — is the key to recovery. Built for owners, breeders, practitioners, trainers, and rehab professionals.

44-Minute Digital Course — Lifetime Access via EquiTecs App

• What it is: Step-by-step protocol for contracted tendon correction — ideal for foals and adult horses.
• 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. Applied with restrictive force, this actively works to lengthen the tendon with every movement the horse makes. The 2-Way Tape component addresses muscle relaxation, completing the protocol. Together they create a mechanically engineered correction — without ever restricting movement.
• Access: Anytime, on any device. Lifetime included.

Course Overview

EquiTecs EFT Contracted Tendons Application

A 44-minute, on-demand digital course teaching the Equine Functional Taping (EFT) protocol for contracted tendon support in foals and adult horses. Learn to address the root causes, apply restrictive taping for tendon lengthening, and combine with muscle relaxation and proper nutrition for measurable improvement. Instantly accessible via the EquiTecs App (Apple, Google, and web). Lifetime access included.

What You'll Learn

• Why contracted tendons develop and how to address the root cause (mineral deficiency)
• How restrictive taping applies force to lengthen tendons
• How to identify and treat pigeon-toed foals using combined applications
• The critical role of movement, minerals, and magnesium in recovery
• How to measure progress and maintain consistency

• Access: Lifetime — learn at your own pace, revisit anytime
• Includes: Video lecture, clinical protocol, step-by-step demo
• Who It’s For: Owners, breeders, practitioners, trainers, rehab pros

Application: What & Why

• What: Corrects contracted tendons in foals and adults, improves limb alignment, and supports tendon lengthening
• Why: Combines biomechanical taping, muscle relaxation, and nutrition for measurable daily improvement — no need to restrict movement

Unique Clinical Notes

• Root cause is often mineral deficiency (in utero or post-injury)
• Movement is essential — never restrict foals; more movement means faster healing
• Persistence and consistency are key — treat this as a daily commitment
• Use a ruler to objectively measure progress at the same location each time
• For severe cases, a shin splint + vetwrap can provide added stability
• Always include the muscle relaxation component for complete results

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 for muscle relaxation (both sold separately), clean/dry area, and 44 minutes.
• How does it work? Tape applies force to lengthen tendons, corrects limb alignment, and supports muscle relaxation — no movement restriction needed.
• Is it safe? Yes — tape is engineered for horse hair and designed to give way if misapplied. Always coordinate with your vet for diagnosis and ongoing care.

Markers of Success

• Progressive reduction in fetlock drop and improved toe position
• Measurable daily improvement (use a ruler for tracking)
• Improved movement quality and confidence
• For pigeon-toed foals: leg realignment toward proper biomechanics
