Abstract
Postpartum low back pain harmfully affects all parts of women's life. To investigate the effect of kinesiotape on women with postnatal backache. Thirty participants were randomly allocated to either group (A; n= 15), treated by kinesiotape with exercise program, or the group (B; n= 15), treated by exercise program. Visual analogue scale (VAS) and Back Pain Function Scale (BPFS) were evaluated.at baseline and after 2 weeks of intervention. There were no statistically significant changes between group A and group B for baseline characteristics (p> 0.05). After two-week intervention, within group analyses revealed that VAS decreased (p< 0.05), with significant increase in BPFS (p> 0.05) in the two groups. Between group analyses showed that there was significant reduction of VAS (p< 0.05) and significant increase of BPFS (p< 0.05) in favor to group A than group B. Kinesiotape and postural correction exercises can be recommended as effective treatment methods for women's postnatal back pain with better effect of kinesiotape and postural correction exercises than exercise alone.
