This study conducted to investigate This study conducted to investigate the effect of kinesiotape on pain and disability in postpartum women who suffering from coccydynia. Forty women suffering from postpartum coccydynia, their age ranged from 25 to 35 years old, also their body mass index (BMI) ranged from 25- 35kg/m2. They were selected from outpatient clinic of Gynecology department of Kasr El Ainy University Hospital, duration of the study was 6 months, from January to May 2021. All women were randomly divided into two groups equal in number (20 for each); group A (Study group): received traditional medical treatment consists of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (ketoprofen-25 mg tablets twice daily) in addition to kinesiotaping on coccygeal region, once per day, 3 days per week for four week. While, group B (Control group) received traditional medical treatment consists of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs only (ketoprofen-25 mg tablets twice daily). Pain intensity level was evaluated by visual analogue scale and Oswestry Disability Questionnaire Index was used to assess disability level. A statistically significant decrease in pain intensity and statistical significant improvement in functional performance levels in the study and control (P < 0.001) was observed in the findings of this study, but when compared between results of the two groups, we found that the study group (A)displayed a statistically significant decrease in pain (P=0.001) and statistically significant improvement in functional performance level (P=0.0001) than control group (B), which treated by traditional medical treatment only. Finally, based on the obtained results of this study, adding kinesiotape to the postpartum coccydynia treatment produced a statistically significant improvement in physical performance.So,kinesiotapingshould be considered an adjunctive treatment method for postpartum coccydynia.
