Kinesiology tape was applied for 2 weeks (six times per week for an average of 9 h each time) to provide continuous mechanical correction to the posterior tilt of the innominates. The Kinesio tape was stretched by approximately 30e40% over the original length. The methods used to place the tissue into the desired position were as follows; first, the tissue was placed in the correct or desired position using manual techniques including joint positioning. Second, the elastic qualities of the KT were used to maintain the desired position. For the external oblique (EO) muscle, KT was applied when the patient was in the side-lying position, tilting the pelvis posteriorly, from the inguinal region to the T12 spinous process. Mechanical correction of the posterior pelvic tilt was exerted by applying the I-Type strip from the ASIS to the PSIS when the patient was in the side-lying position, tilting the pelvis posteriorly. For the rectus abdominis (RA) muscle, the KT was applied when the patient was in the hook-lying position, from the part near the pubic symphysis to the xiphoid process and the 5th to 7th costal cartilages.
