Exclusion Criteria:
Lumbar muscles (especially quadratus lumborum) and thoracolumbar fascia stretching exercises and strengthening exercises for the lumbar and abdominal muscles were described by the physiotherapist. Participants were asked to perform the exercises three times a day, five days a week.
Other: Exercise
Kinesiotaping was performed by the same researcher (XX) for two sessions per week for four weeks with fascia correction technique. The procedure was performed with the participant lying in the prone position. The tape was glued just below the beginning of the iliac crista without stretching. Submaximal tension was continued on the skin in line with the lower fibres of the quadratus lumborum muscle and thorocolumbar fascia. It was terminated without tension at the lower costal fold. I band was applied perpendicular to the line of insertion of the quadratus lumborum and thorocolumbar fascia to the crista iliaca with 50% tension in the middle section without tension at the beginning and end.
Other: Kinesiotaping
Myofascial release technique was applied by the same researcher (YY) twice a week for four weeks. Ischaemic compression was applied to palpable trigger points on the quadratus lumborum muscle. One hand was placed on the inferior crista iliaca and the other hand on the superior inferior costal fold and waited for 3 minutes with minimal tension. The hand was made into a fist and minimal pressure was applied with the proximal phalanges over the quadratus lumborum and the participant was asked to contract and release the muscle for 3 minutes.

Visual Analoque Scale
Visual Analoque Scale is a scale consisting of a single 10 cm line and assesses the intensity of pain. Patients were asked to rate the level of pain after being informed that the beginning point on the scale represented no pain and the end point represented the most excruciating pain they had ever experienced
Time frame: Before treatment, immediately after treatment, 1 month after the end of treatment
The Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire
The Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire is a questionnaire developed to assess functional disabilities in patients with low back pain \[15\]. In the questionnaire consisting of 24 sentences about functional disabilities, patients are asked to answer each sentence as yes if it fits their situation and no if it does not. Yes answers are calculated as '1' and no answers as '0' points, resulting in a total score between 0-24, with a higher score indicating more disability.
Time frame: Before treatment, immediately after treatment, 1 month after the end of treatment
SF-36 Quality of Life Scale
SF-36 Quality of Life Scale is a general quality of life scale frequently used in clinical research. The scale consists of 36 items, which measure 8 different dimensions: physical functions, social functions, role inhibition due to physical problems, physical pain, mental health, role inhibition due to emotional problems, life energy, general health perception. The subscales assess health on a scale of 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating good health quality.
Time frame: Before treatment, immediately after treatment, 1 month after the end of treatment
