Neck pain is a common condition, affecting 30% to 50% of the general population, and is most prevalent in middle age.33 It is usually accompanied by a substantial effect on daily life, resulting in an extensive use of health care resources. Several physical therapy applications such as massage therapy, kinesio taping, thermal and electrophysiological agents, hydrotherapy/spa therapy, and therapeutic exercises especially neck stabilization exercise are used to manage FM. Both massage therapy and kinesio taping have a favorable effect on clinical symptoms. However, it is not clear which method is more effective. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the effectiveness of massage and Kinesio taping on pain, range of motion, disability and quality of life in patients with chronic neck pain.
