Worldwide, nonspecific neck pain (NSNP) is a major health issue that contributes to significant debility. 30-50% of the general population is impacted by NSNP, which frequently results in severe impairment. Non-specific neck Pain (NSNP) is characterised by cervical pain with an indefinite underlying cause. 

 
Additionally, using a laptop or smartphone during a pandemic lockdown has increased neck pain. It is frequently noted that the forward head position (FHP) is linked to neck pain. Often referred to as "hunched," an FHP. Generally, a tight band of muscle can be palpated, and these palpable masses are often referred to as “trigger points”.

In previous studies, it is concluded that most of the causes of neck pain have a complex relationship between the individual and their occupation, in which they maintain poor postures and experience repetitive stress. It is also found that using the suboccipital release technique along with conventional treatment significantly improves neck pain, disability, and range of motion in forward head posture and on the other, also the effect of the Positional Release Technique has been enhanced in Improving Range of Motion and Pain Pressure in patients with Myofascial Trigger Points in the Upper Trapezius Muscle (Rubi Yadav et al., 2024). Kinesio tape application provides additional benefits to the conventional physiotherapy method in terms of treatment satisfaction (Hilal Dogan et al.,2022). However,  there are no comparative studies on how well myofascial release and positional release, combined with kinesio taping, address this issue.

Therefore, the purpose of the current study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Myofascial release and Positional release techniques combined with Kinesio Taping in reducing pain and improving cervical range of motion, improving forward head posture by addressing related weak neck muscles.
