Kinesio Taping

Patients will receive an application of Kinesio taping in their lumbar spine.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Kinesio Taping

Intervention Type OTHER

Kinesio taping 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 lumbar spine.

Kinesio Taping Placebo

Patients will receive an application of medical adhesive tape in their lumbar spine.
