Katja Bredlau-Morich received certification in animal health from the Institut für Tierheilkunde in Viernheim, Germany. She is certified in kinesiology taping of horses by the Maia-Medical Group, Germany, and by Equi-Tape® in the United States, and has provided physiotherapy and taping services for horses in both countries. She currently lives in Rodgau, Germany, where she operates Horse-Wellness, LLC (www.horse-wellness.com).
The idea behind kinesiology taping is to explain how taping can
provide incredible support and stabilisation of ligaments and
tendons while simultaneously stretching and flexing like a 'second
skin' to allow full range of motion. Taping can also activate or
relax muscles, depending on its application. Katja Bredlau-Morich's
book focuses on how taping can be used as a part of any equine
health care program. The brilliant photographs included in the book
demonstrate how and where to apply the tape to achieve the best
results. Katja Bredlau-Morich's extensive background in kinesiology
taping make Kinesiology Taping for Horses a rich and
comprehensive read. Not only is she an expert in the anatomy and
biomechanics of horses, but she writes in a way that anyone can
easily understand how to adopt her taping techniques.
Kinesiology Taping for Horses is written clearly yet is still
rich in detail; I read it cover-to-cover in a single sitting and
have a new respect for kinesiology taping without feeling bogged
down by minutae.
A comprehensive guide to this unique modality.... A book like this
needs plenty of good photos to illustrate the techniques, and the
author delivers.
