Methods
functional disability, Pain, Oswestry Disability, muscle stretching exercise, Piriformis
Forty-two participants, aged 25–45 years, were randomly assigned to: the conventional therapy group (CT) receiving Piriformis and Iliopsoas muscle stretching exercise, clamshell exercise, and seat cushioning; the CT plus kinesiotaping group (CT-KT) receiving additional kinesiotaping; or the CT plus pelvic floor exercise (PFE) group (CT-PFE) executing additional PFE. All groups completed 4 weeks of training, 3 days a week. Pain intensity, assessed by the Pain Numeric Rating Scale (PNRS), and functional disability, evaluated by the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), were estimated at baseline and after 4 weeks.
