The Effect of Kinesio Taping Applications on Pain, Neck Awareness and Functionality in Neck Pain

"Following a total of 15 sessions of electrophysical agent and exercise training, 5 days a week, for 3 weeks, each session lasting 45 minutes, followed by traditional physiotherapy, 2 days a week, for 3 weeks, a total of 6 times, with 0% tension applied to the trapezius muscle in the neck region (I). Kinesiotape will be applied.~The tape will be applied twice a week in total, staying for 3 days and leaving one day free after each application."

In addition to a total of 15 sessions of electrophysical agents and exercise training, 5 days a week for 3 weeks, each session lasting 45 minutes, kinesio tape will be applied 6 times in total, 2 days a week. Kinesiotape will be cut into an (I) shape (15 cm) with 50% tension and adhered laterally to the C7 joint. In acute cases such as overuse and muscle spasm, it is recommended to apply an inhibition technique that will inhibit the muscle. In the inhibition technique, the direction of the tape should be from the entry point of the muscle to the starting point and the application should be done with very light or light (15 - 25%) tension. In chronic cases, a facilitation technique should be applied to stimulate the weak muscle. The direction of the tape should be from the starting point of the muscle to the attachment point and the application should be done with light or moderate tension (25 - 50%).
