The Effects of Kinesio® Tape on Neck Pain and Disability

In order to increase the activity of underactive muscles, the tape is applied from origin to insertion with a 15-25% tension. The Kinesio® Tape mechanical muscle correction will be performed with one Y-strip of Kinesio® Tape over the bilateral cervical multifidus and semispinalis cervicis muscles, while also including portions of other cervical extensor muscles (the semispinalis capitis, splenius cervicis, levator scapulae, upper trapezius, longus coli, and splenius capitis).
