The Effects of Kinesio Taping and Exercise Interventions in Individuals With Bruxism

Individuals meeting the inclusion criteria will receive kinesio taping applied to the temporomandibular joint by a physiotherapist every three days for two weeks. The kinesio tape will be applied along the origin-insertion line with zero tension. In addition to the kinesio taping, participants will follow a exercise program prescribed three days a week. This program will include isometric neck exercises (cervical flexion, extension, right and left lateral flexion, right and left rotation, and chin tuck exercises) and temporomandibular joint range of motion exercises (protrusion, retrusion, right and left lateral movement, and mouth opening-closing exercises). Each movement will be performed as 3 sets of 15 repetitions as part of the treatment protocol
