Interventions

  • kinesio taping — OTHER
    Before treatment, all female participants will undergo an allergic test on the anterior surface of the elbow. To ensure cleanliness, alcohol will be used to clean the areas to be evaluated before applying the tape. The H technique will be employed to apply KT over the lumbar region. Participants will be instructed to bend forwards from the waist, and two vertical strips will be applied. These strips will stretch the Golgi tendon organ on both sides of the spine from the top of the buttock cleft upwards to a mid-point, with less than 25% stretch . Additionally, a horizontal strip will be attached across the left and right sacroiliac joints. This strip will be stretched to 50% of its maximum capacity,.
  • myofascial release technique — OTHER
    myofascial release technique will be applied from prone on lumbar paravertebral muscles by using the olecranon of the physical therapist for 3 minutes, thoracolumbar fascia by using cross-handed hold, with hands placed on the T12-L1 levels and on the sacrum for 5 minutes without repetition and quadratus lumborum by using elbow with low pressure obliquely towards the center of the column for 7 min. Additionally, from supine on psoas muscle by transversal sliding of the psoas fascia. The therapist will place the hands laterally 3 cm from the umbilicus.
