Brief Summary

This study aims to determine the difference between the effect of kinesiotape and myofascial release in the treatment of postnatal low back pain.

Conditions

Low Back Pain

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Pain intensity level

  The intensity of postnatal low back pain will be assessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS) for all participants in both groups before and after treatment, which is a method of representing subjects' pain on a 10 cm linear scale. A score of 0 means " no pain" and 10 means " very high degree of pain

  4 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Lumbar flexion range of motion

  4 weeks

• Lumbar extension range of motion

  4 weeks

• Lumbar lateral flexion range of motion

  4 weeks

Study Arms (2)

kinesiotape group

EXPERIMENTAL

The participants will be treated with kinesiotape for 4 weeks

Other: Kinesiotape

myofascial release group

EXPERIMENTAL

The participants will be treated with myofascial release for 4 weeks

Other: Myofascial release

Interventions

Kinesiotape OTHER

Postnatal women with low back pain will be treated with kinesiotape, three times per week for 4 weeks

kinesiotape group

Myofascial release OTHER

Postnatal women with low back pain will be treated with myofascial release for 25 minutes three times per week for 4 weeks
