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.
