Brief summary: Aim of the study was to investigate the effect of Kinesio taping application on upper trapezius muscle after cervical spine surgery.

Detailed description: Patients will be randomly divided into three groups. The first group will receive conservative treatment and Kinesio Taping application. The second group will receive conservative treatment and the third group will receive only Kinesio taping application. The treatment procedure will continue for post-operatively three days and assessments will be done four times; before the surgery, post-operative 1st day, postoperative 3rd day and two weeks after surgery. Data will be recorded on patient assessment file and transferred to the computer. Data analysis will be performed with SPSS.22.

* No mental problem, sensory or motor aphasia in order to understand and answer the evaluation questions correctly.

Exclusion Criteria:

* History of surgery,
* Allergic reaction to kinesio taping,
* Primary or metastatic neoplasm in cervical spine,
