Brief Summary:
Foot pain is particularly prevalent among older adults, affecting approximately 20% to 37% of men and women aged 45 years and older living in the community. Ankle pain is somewhat less common. This study evaluates the combined impact of cryotherapy (ice application) with Bowen therapy versus traditional medical massage in alleviating symptoms. A total of 41 patients, aged 32-75 years participated and were divided into two treatment groups: one receiving medical massage and ice, and the other Bowen therapy and ice, with three sessions over 15 days. Pain and functionality were measured using the VAS pain scale and Roland-Morris questionnaire. Findings revealed improvements in both groups, with the Bowen therapy group achieving greater pain reduction and functional improvement, suggesting potential advantages of Bowen therapy combined with cryotherapy for managing symptoms.
