Background: During and after pregnancy, many women experience an increase in the inter-recti abdominal muscle distance due to increased uterine volume as well as stretching and thinning of the linea alba. This condition, on average, affects 66% of women and is associated with spinal pain and instability, pelvic floor muscle weakness, abdominal muscle weakness and increase Waist circumference. Objective: To assess the effect of Kinesiotaping (KT) on the Waist circumference in postnatal women. Methods: Forty-eight post-partum women .They were divided randomly into two equal groups. The first group A received KT in addition to abdominal exercises; group B received only abdominal exercises .The intervention in both groups for two sessions /week for 8 weeks. The outcome measures were evaluating pre and post treatment via assessing the Waist circumference by using tape measurement. Results: Within group comparison, there was a significant decrease in the waist circumference post treatment compared to pre-treatment in the study and control groups (p >0.001). Between groups comparison, there was no significant difference between groups pre-treatment (p > 0.05). Comparison between groups post treatment revealed a significant decrease in the waist circumference of the study group compared with that of the control group (p > 0.01). Conclusion: Kinesiotaping (KT) reduce waist circumference; if combined with abdominal exercises, it can augment the effects.
