Brief summary: The aim of this study is to evaluate the acute effect of kinesio taping on pain, range of motion and dynamic balance in patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain. 48 patients were included in the study and were randomly divided into three groups by ordinal number randomization. All patients were evaluated of pain, joint range of motion and dynamic balance before and 45 minutes after the application. Kinesio taping with elastic therapeutic tape was applied to the core muscles of the study group, and the same muscles of the placebo group were taped with plaster tape in the same way, and no application was made to the control group.

Detailed description: The aim of this study is to evaluate the acute effect of kinesio taping on pain, range of motion and dynamic balance in patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain. 48 patients were included in the study and were randomly divided into three groups by ordinal number randomization. All patients were evaluated by the same physiotherapist in terms of pain (Visual Analog Scale), joint range of motion (Gonyometric measurement) and dynamic balance (Timed Up and Go Test) before and 45 minutes after the application. Kinesio taping with elastic therapeutic tape was applied to the transversus abdominis, rectus abdominis and iliocostal muscles of the study group, and the same muscles of the placebo group were taped with plaster tape in the same way, and no application was made to the control group.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion criteria for the study:

* Having low back pain of at least 3 out of 10 points on the Visual Analog Scale,
* Being between the ages of 30-55,
* Having low back pain for at least 3 months,
* Having been tested with a test piece beforehand and not having an allergy to kinesio taping.

Exclusion criteria for the study:

* Having had surgery for low back pain,
* Not complying with treatment,
* Having a neurological deficit,
* Being pregnant,
* Having received any treatment for low back pain in the last month.
