Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
A total of 78 people will be included in the study and will be randomly divided into two groups as intervention + exercise and exercise only group. Randomization will be done by closed envelope method. Kinesiobanting will be applied to the intervention group for 4 weeks, with the posture correction technique on Mondays, and the kinesiobant application will be applied once a week for 4 sessions in total, to be removed on Friday. Both groups will be given a 40-minute posture exercise program based on clinical experience, to be performed every other day, i.e. 4 times a week for 12 weeks. Patients will be given an exercise follow-up chart and will be called once a week and followed up for 12 weeks. In the intervention group, thoracic kyphosis and lumbar lordosis angle measurements with Goniometer pro application will be examined at 30.minute at baseline, Week 4 and Week 12, while in the exercise only group they will be examined at baseline, Week 4 and Week 12. Ultrasound measurement of spinal muscle thickness will be performed at baseline and at Week 12 in both groups. Nottingham Health Profile will be performed at baseline, Week 4 and Week 12 in both groups. Differences within and between groups will be analyzed statistically.

exercise
Regular exercise is also among the factors affecting the formation of posture. A regular and systematic exercise program can change the curvatures of the spine in the sagittal plane.

kinesio tape
The application of kinesio tape is a relatively new method, first developed in 1973 by Kenzo Kase in Japan, also known as elastic bandage, which has become popular in the last 10 years following announcements at major events such as the Olympic Games.
