Abstract:

This study aims to evaluate the effect of a combination of sports injury massage therapy and exercise therapy on the recovery of wrist and elbow injuries in athletes. This research uses an experimental design with the Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) method. Participants in this research were students who were members of various sports Student Activity Units. Data collection instruments include a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) to measure pain levels, as well as a Goniometer to measure Range of Motion (ROM) at the wrist and elbow. The data analysis technique was carried out using the independent t-test. The results of data analysis show that combining sports injury massage therapy and exercise therapy has a more positive impact in reducing pain in wrist and elbow injuries compared to just carrying out sports injury massage therapy. The conclusion of this study is that massage therapy for sports injuries is better than exercise therapy where the reduction in massage therapy can reduce pain significantly. However, actually combining the two therapies has a more positive effect on injury recovery than just doing one form of therapy.
