abstract={<b>B</b><b>ACKGROUND</b>: low back pain is a common problems that encountered in physical therapy clinic. Many treatment regime are present. Kinesio-taping is a newly treatment introduced for patients with low back pain. <b>OBJECTIVES</b>: To investigate the effect of kinesio-taping on pain, range of motion, and back muscle strength in non-specific low back pain patients. <b>METHO</b><b>D</b><b>S</b><b> AND MEASURES</b>: Twenty four patients were involved in this study. Informed consent were signed by the patients and patients were divided into two groups by randomization ,thirteen in Group A and eleven in Group B. Pain, range of motion, and back muscle strength were assessed on day one and six by VAS scale, modified-modified schober test (MMST), isokinetic dynamometer. Kinesio-taping (KT) was applied twice per six days. Group A patients were receiving I-shape KT longitudinally .Group B patients were receiving K taping Horizontally. <b>RESULTS:</b> The results of this study showed significant improvement in pain intensity and functional disability within groups. No significant differences between both groups. <b>CONCLUSION</b>: The Kinesio-taping with conventional physiotherapy will be more beneficial than kinesio- taping alone when treating nonspecific low back pain patients.},
