Kinesio taping with abdominal exercises
Kinesio taping will be applied along with abdominal exercises.
Kinesio taping with abdominal exercises
Experimental group was given kinesio taping along with abdominal exercises. Kinesio taping was applied in I-band technique. the first band is applied on rectus abdominis from origin to insertion starting from pubic symphysis till the xiphoid process. the second band is applied bilaterally on the left and right side external oblique muscles.
Abdominal exercises consist of 2-3 sets of 8 to 12 repetitions of head lift with bracing, head lift with pelvic tilt, pelvic clock, bridging, knee rolling and deep breathing exercises for 1 to 4 weeks.
From 5 to 8 weeks Same abdominal exercises with 5 sets and 15 to 20 repetitions were performed along with kinesio taping.
Abdominal Exercises
Only abdominal exercises will be administered to the participants.
Abdominal exercises
Abdominal exercises consist of 2-3 sets of 8 to 12 repetitions of head lift with bracing, head lift with pelvic tilt, pelvic clock, bridging, knee rolling and deep breathing exercises for 1 to 4 weeks.
From 5 to 8 weeks Same abdominal exercises with 5 sets and 15 to 20 repetitions were performed.
