All women were randomly divided into two groups equal in number (20 for each); group A (Study group): received traditional medical treatment consists of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (ketoprofen-25 mg tablets twice daily) in addition to kinesiotaping on coccygeal region, changed every two days, 3 days per week for four weeks. While, group B (Control group) received traditional medical treatment consists of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (ketoprofen-25 mg tablets twice daily).
