Taping vs. exercises: the battle to fix your forward head posture!
NCT ID NCT07523568
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two treatments for forward head posture, a common problem where the head juts forward causing neck pain and muscle strain. Forty adults were randomly assigned to receive either kinesio taping (a special tape applied to the skin) or corrective postural exercises. Researchers measured changes in head angle, neck muscle strength, and movement accuracy to see which approach works best.
