Summary

A large number of workers in different sectors suffer from musculoskeletal neck disorders, which are the most common work-related illness in Europe. A multitude of combinations of techniques can be used to treat these conditions, including recorded film and the Jones technique. This pilot study examines the efficacy of Kinesio taping and the Jones technique in improving pain, joint range of motion and muscle tension in active subjects with latent myofascial trigger points. A clinical trial was conducted with 38 patients with neck pain. The sample was randomly distributed into three groups: a Jones technique group, a kinesio taping group and a combined therapy group in which both techniques were performed. The duration of treatment was 4 weeks, with a follow-up of 2 weeks. Cervical spine joint range of motion, pain and functional disability were assessed with the goniometer, the visual analogue scale, the pressure algometer and the cervical disability index.

Conditions

• Cervicalgia

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Jones technique	is a gentle soft tissue manipulation consisting of a passive procedure that positions the body in a position of comfort to release tissue that compresses or shortens the body structure (muscle contraction and joint dysfunction)
DEVICE	Kinesiotape	KT has an S-shaped glue, which lifts the skin, thus improving blood and lymphatic circulation, with the intention of relieving pain and improving musculoskeletal diseases especially in sports
