Abstract:
This study explores the efficacy of combining Kinesio Taping and Muscle Energy Techniques (MET) to treat mechanical neck pain. A 29-year-old diabetic graphic designer with chronic neck pain participated. Measurements using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Goniometry, and Neck Disability Index (NDI) were taken at baseline and after six sessions over two weeks.
Results:
Significant improvements were observed in pain levels, cervical range of motion, and functionality. The combination of MET and Kinesio Taping effectively reduced disability associated with mechanical neck pain.
