Abstract Background Anterior pelvic tilt is an angle of inclination in which anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) is inferior to the posterior superior iliac spine(PSIS) in relation to the horizontal plane. Aim The aim of the study was to compare the immediate effect of kinesio taping on abdominal muscles versus hamstrings muscles on pelvic tilt in healthy young female. METHODS The randomized clinical trial was performed in Nashik, India, during the time period from December 2020 to June 2021. 60 females aged between 18 to 30 years with anterior pelvic tilt more than 15?. Females were randomized into two groups (each 30). Abdominal muscle taping was performed for group A and group B went hamstring muscle taping. Anterior pelvic tilt was measured before taping, immediately after taping and after 24 hours. Repeated measure ANOVA was used to compare within group and Unpaired T-test was used to compare between two groups. RESULTS No significant results were detected between the Anterior pelvic tilt angle before and immediately after taping in both the groups (p >0.05). However a significant reduction in anterior pelvic tilt was observed in both the groups 24 hours after taping (p<0.05). CONCLUSION Taping on abdominal muscles and hamstring muscles was equally effective in reducing Anterior pelvic tilt angle after 24 hours
