Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: tensegrity massage
In this group of patients massage sessions based on the tensegrity method were applied.
|
session - 20 minutes. Before the massage, palpable evaluation of the selected anatomical structures was carried out - to determine which tissues have the greatest sensitivity and which motor organs show increased tension (by pressing the attachment). In all the examined patients, pain of the following muscle attachments were shown:
A palpable evaluation of the previously examined points was again performed during the final part, with particular attention paid to painful muscles, in order to analyze the effectiveness of the performed relaxation.

|
Active Comparator: classical massage
In this group of patients 10 classical massage sessions were applied
|
session - 20 minutes. Before the massage, palpable evaluation of the selected anatomical structures was carried out - to determine which tissues have the greatest sensitivity and which motor organs show increased tension (by pressing the attachment). In all the examined patients, pain of the following muscle attachments were shown:

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
mobility measurement
Time Frame: immediately before the first massage session - Test 1, on the day the therapy ended - Test 2 - two weeks after therapy started, and one month after the last massage - Test 3
|
To assess massage effectiveness, mobility measurements were conducted in each patient.
Both were conducted three times
|
immediately before the first massage session - Test 1, on the day the therapy ended - Test 2 - two weeks after therapy started, and one month after the last massage - Test 3
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ)
Time Frame: immediately before the first massage session - Test 1, on the day the therapy ended - Test 2 - two weeks after therapy started, and one month after the last massage - Test 3
|
To assess massage effectiveness, McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ) were conducted in each patient.
