Detailed description
: Menstrual low back pain is a prevalent condition among women. Menstrual low back pain occurrence is affected by hormonal changes. Menstrual low back pain incidence more than 40% to 50% during the menstrual phase (days 1-6) of the menstrual cycle, while the range of prevalence was 45 to 95%. It has a high prevalence among females, especially females aged 20 to 25 years old. Hormonal changes might play an important role in the formation of Menstrual low back pain and is the main cause of feeling of pain during menstrual cycle. kinesio taping and myofascial release technique play an important role in the treatment of Menstrual low back pain. this trial has two groups; one will receive kinesio taping three days and the second will receive myofascial release technique for12 sessions through 3 consecutive menstrual cycle
Interventions
OTHERkinesio taping
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,.
OTHERmyofascial release technique
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.
