The Effect of Static Exercise Therapy and Efficiency Massage Focus on Back Latizimus Dorsi and Trapezius to Reduce Pain and Movement Disorders in Athletes

Abstract

Athletes who experience back injuries are characterized by back pain and movement disturbances in the lower back that require treatment. Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of static exercise therapy and massage efficiency techniques. This research method is a quasi-pre-experimental study with the one group pretest-posttest design model. The sample in this study was 30 people with a purposive sampling technique. The research instrument used to measure pain levels was in the form of a visual scale (VAS), and the oswerty disability index functioned. Administering massage effraction manipulation treatment on the back and focusing on the lumbar area on all back muscles which was carried out by masseur with a duration of 15 minutes for 1 treatment and continued with static exercise therapy for 1 week independently then providing feedback to fill in the oswerty disability index. The data analysis technique used is in the form of descriptive analysis, normality test using the Shapiro Wilk test and paired t-test to determine whether there is a difference between before and after treatment. The results showed that the average pain before and after treatment was decreased. so that it can be concluded that static exercise therapy and the massage effraction method focus on the lumbar can significantly reduce the perception of back pain. Movement function before and after treatment experienced an increase in significant changes. The conclusion of this study is that static exercise therapy methods and the lumbar focus effraction massage method can reduce the perception of back pain and can significantly improve the function of lower back motion. It can be concluded that the massage effraction method focuses on the lumbar and static exercise therapy that is carried out independently can reduce pain and improve the movement function of people with back pain.
