Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Connective tissue massage

Participants will receive TENS and infrared treatment for 25 minutes, 5 days a week. Then Connective Tissue Massage will be applied.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Connective tissue massage

Intervention Type OTHER

Connective Tissue Massage will be applied by starting from the lumbosacral region, continuing from the lower thoracic region, and finishing by applying it to the scapular region, interscapular region, and cervico-occipital region.

Kinesio Tape Application

Participants will receive TENS and infrared treatment for 25 minutes, 5 days a week. Kinesio tape application will be applied 2 days a week for 4 weeks.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Kinesio Tape Application

Intervention Type OTHER

Taping will be applied to the levator scapula and upper trapezius muscles in a "Y" shape, with 25% tension and while the participants were in an upright position. Again in the same position, this time the "C" shaped taping technique will be adhered with 50% tension from the middle fibers of the trapezium to the last rib.
