Effect of K-Taping and Yoga Therapy in Postural Correction for Sacroiliac Jointamong Weightlifters

Effect of K-Taping and Yoga Therapy in Postural Correction for Sacroiliac Jointamong Weightlifters

The study investigates the efficacy of kinesiology taping (K-taping) and yoga therapy- both individually and in combination-in correcting posture and rehabilitating sacroiliac joint (SIJ) dysfunction in weightlifters. SIJ dysfunction, commonly caused by repetitive stress, poor biomechanics, and muscle imbalance, is prevalent among weightlifters and can lead to pain and reduced performance.

While K-taping offers immediate support and proprioceptive benefits, yoga therapy provides long-term improvements through enhanced flexibility, core strength, and body awareness.

This study aims to provide evidence for a more integrated and holistic renabilitation approach for Sacroiliac joint.
