Abstract

Our body is made up of myofascial tissues. Tightness in this structure results in pain, restriction of movements which disturbs the person. Prolonged pain in these structures cause the chronic pain. Adaptation of abnormal posture for a long duration leads to continuous contraction of that particular muscles, which are not given a chance to relax themselves results in myofascial pain. Recent post covid working methods like work from home, prolonged awkward sitting posture also increases this risk. This usually affects the postural muscles, mainly in the neck and back regions. Many physiotherapy and manual therapy techniques are available in the treatment of chronic pain. Kinesio Taping is the one among them, where a tape is applied over the tight muscle to supports its activity, reduces stress, pain and improves movements. This review focuses on the application of Kinesio Taping technique at lower back region including various parts of the body to alleviate pain and to improve function.
