Summary

The purpose of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of kinesio-taping versus self-mobilization applied to the cervical region of long-duration electronic device users.

Conditions

  • Neck Pain

Interventions

OTHER

Kinesiology taping

5 cm wide and 0.5 mm thick waterproof, porous and adhesive tape will be applied to the posterior neck of the participants while sitting comfortably in a neutral position. The first tape (Y-strip) is placed over the posterior cervical extensor muscles with approximately 25% tension. The top strip will be placed perpendicular to the Y strip on the mid-cervical region. The participant's cervical spine is flexed to obtain tension in the posterior structures.

OTHER

Self-mobilization

The towel will be placed on the posterior arch of the fifth cervical vertebra and pulled horizontally across the face. The participant will be instructed to apply pressure to the towel and turn their head to the restricted side, then maintain the finishing interval for three seconds. The participant will be asked to apply extreme pressure in the bending position with towel support. The procedure should be painless and repeated 10 times.
