Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of Deep Tissue Massage combined with stretching (DTMS) on Range of Motion (ROM), and waist function in non-specific cases of Low Back Pain. This research was a pre-experimental study using a pretest and posttest design. The research sample consisted of 21 people with non-specific Low Back Pain injuries taken by purposive sampling technique. The treatment used combined Deep Tissue Massage and stretching exercises. The treatment was carried out once with a duration of 30 minutes. Pain scale measurement used the VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) instrument. ROM used the modified Schober Test and Fingertip to Floor instruments. Measurement of waist function used the ODI (Oswestry Disability Index) instrument. The data analysis technique used was the Paired t-test. The results showed that Deep Tissue Massage combined with stretching reduced pain, significantly increased ROM and waist function (p<0.05). The conclusion of this study was that Deep Tissue Massage and stretching can reduce pain, increase ROM, and improve waist function so that it can be applied to patients with non-specific low back pain.

Abstract
This study aimed to determine: (1) The effectiveness of Tepurak therapy (press, hit, motion) in treating non-specific Low Back Pain (LBP) injuries. (2) The effectiveness of a combined Deep Tissue Massage with stretching (DTMS) in treating non-specific LBP injuries. (3) A comparison of the effectiveness between Tepurak therapy and the combination of Deep Tissue Massage with stretching in treating non-specific LBP injuries.
Recovery indicators included pain level and range of motion (ROM). This pre-experimental research used two distinct sample groups with different treatments. The sample comprised 42 individuals with non-specific LBP injuries, who were randomly divided into two groups of 21. Group A underwent Tepurak therapy (press, hit, motion), while Group B received combined Deep Tissue Massage and stretching (DTMS). Each treatment session lasted 30 minutes.
Pain levels were measured using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), while ROM was assessed with the modified Schober Test and the Fingertip-to-Floor instruments. The data analysis employed various tests, including the Paired t-test, Wilcoxon, independent t-test, and Mann-Whitney.
The findings revealed that Tepurak therapy reduced pain and significantly enhanced ROM (p < 0.05). Similarly, the Deep Tissue Massage combined with stretching notably diminished pain and improved ROM (p < 0.05). Comparing the pretest and posttest data between Tepurak therapy and the Deep Tissue Massage with stretching on pain and ROM indicators yielded a p-value > 0.05. This suggests that there was no significant difference in the effectiveness of the two therapy types.
Based on this study, it’s recommended that either Tepurak therapy or the combination of Deep Tissue Massage with stretching can be employed to treat individuals with non-specific LBP. The choice should depend on the specific situation and conditions, taking into account the pros and cons of each therapy type.
