    Kinesio-Tape can help with tinntius ?

    I have a patient has problems in the cervical spine and Tinnitus.
    There are a lot more muscle tension caused by stress and improper head posture in the workplace.

    She wants to try the Kinesio-Tape technology by a physiotherapist.

    (Unfortunately, only German)

    Has anyone heard a few successes?

    Or is this another way by thousands to help but not everyone tried it?

    This is not a treatment for tinnitus and has no real relevance as far as I can see.

    It may help with the neck and back, but I can't see how it would help directly with the treatment of tinnitus.

    It could potentially help if the tinnitus is made worse by a stress related component or other factors. By treatment of these, this or other physiotherapy techniques could reduce the associated stress or condition and thus reduce the impact of the tinnitus. However, this could be said for many other things, but none would be treating the tinnitus directly. If any relief was experienced, it would just be a secondary outcome.
