Summary

This study tested whether adding kinesiology taping or ischemic compression to standard physiotherapy helps people with chronic low back pain. 102 adults with back pain for at least 12 weeks were split into three groups. Over three weeks, researchers measured changes in pain and spine movement. The goal is to see if these simple add-on techniques offer extra relief.
