musculoskeletal pain; playing related musculoskeletal disorders; physiotherapy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Changes in algometric measurements at 4 weeks

  The algometric measurement concerned the assessment of muscle pressure sensitivity - pain threshold in kg/cm2 made using the Pain Test FPX Algometer (Wagner).

  Change between Baseline and post-treatment after 4 weeks

Study Arms (3)

The chair massage group

EXPERIMENTAL

chair massage 15 min,, 2 x week; measurement before and after each treatment

Other: chair massage

The exercise program group

EXPERIMENTAL

excercises 15 min., 2 x week; measurement before and after each treatment

Other: the exercise program

The control group

NO INTERVENTION

control 2 measurements, 4 weeks apart

Interventions

chair massage OTHER

Chair massage was performed useing only traditional methods of Swedish massage were used, consisting of stroking (smooth, continuous movements to relax and calm the sympathetic nervous system), kneading (consisting of wringing, squeezing muscles, compressing pressure points for the relaxation of soft tissues, i.e. muscles, tendons, fascia), stretching combined with swaying and passive movements of the upper limbs (to mobilize the joints of the upper limbs) and final stroking combined with slapping and shaking percussion, vibration.

The chair massage group

the exercise program OTHER

The original set of exercises was developed based on the knowledge and clinical experience of the authors of the study and based on EBP (Evidence Based Practice). The program consisted of 14 strengthening and stretching exercises involving the muscles of the trunk and limbs whose main goal was to mobilize the joints and strengthen the weakened muscles and relax overloaded muscle groups.
