Effectiveness of the Addition of the Kinesio Taping Method to Conventional Physical Therapy Treatment in Patients With Chronic Nonspecific Low Back Pain

Combination of manual therapy techniques, general exercises and specific exercises for spinal segmental stabilization. Patients will receive 10 sessions of treatment over a period of five weeks (two sessions/week). The treatment will be tailored to the patient presentation (i.e. pragmatic treatment).

Kinesiotaping intervention is based upon the use of specific elastic tapes (known as Kinesio Tex Gold) that are applied with a certain amount of tension fixed to the skin of patients with the target muscles in a stretched position. The tapes will be placed over the superficial back muscles (erector spinae muscles).
