No. 262. Dr. Sybille Molle - Equine Kinesio® Taping for Horses

Dr. Sybille Molle graduated from Veterinary Medicine at the Perugia University, Italy in 2004. After a period of practice in equine medicine and surgery at AEMMECI equine practice in Rome (2001-2005) and at the Département Hippique of the Ecole Nationale Vétérinaire of Lyon, France (September 2008) she focused her interests on rehabilitation and physical therapy of the horse, which led her to become a Certified Equine Rehabilitation Therapist at Animal Rehabilitation Institute, Loxahatchee, FL in 2010. After that date, she completely dedicated her professional activity to the treatment of sport horses focusing on manual therapies and the more innovative techniques of equine physiotherapy, athletic conditioning, and re-education of posture. Curiosity and the desire to discover some additional techniques brought her to attend in 2011 the courses of the Kinesio Taping Association for human patients. After her initial contact, the KTA asked her cooperation to become the first DVM worldwide to be a Certified Kinesio Taping Instructor. Since 2011 she started developing the education program for the application of the Kinesio® Taping Method for Equines. Dr. Molle has been teaching this program worldwide from 2012 until 2016. In 2016 she ended her association with Kinesio in order to expand this educational program with ARI. Dr. Molle has lectured at many national and international congresses in equine rehabilitation including the application of Equine Kinesio Taping and was a guest author of the 2016 Rehabilitation of the Equine Athlete in Veterinary Clinics of North America, Equine Practice. Since 2019 Dr. Molle is a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation
