Brief summary: Low back pain is a common problem. In low back pain, the core region and posture are frequently affected. However, no definitive decision has been reached regarding cognition and mental fatigue. In the treatment of low back pain, exercise and kinesio taping approaches are frequently used. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of kinesio taping applied in addition to pilates exercises on pain, core muscle thickness, strength and endurance, posture, cognition and mental fatigue in individuals with non-specific low back pain and to compare it with placebo taping and the control group. The primary outcome measure of this study is core muscle thickness, while other measurements will be considered as secondary outcomes.
