Abstract

Background: A cesarean section is a surgical procedure to deliver a baby through an incision in the abdominal wall and uterus. This procedure can cause pain in the surgical wound. This pain can limit movement, which can lead to decreased blood circulation. Treatment options include warm compresses, cold compresses, acupressure, and foot massage. Foot massage is beneficial because the feet contain numerous nerves connected to internal organs, which can reduce pain. Purpose: This case study aims to illustrate the application of foot massage therapy for post-cesarean section pain. Method: The method used was a descriptive case study on one respondent who experienced post-cesarean section pain with a 10-minute foot massage intervention with olive oil, once a day, carried out for 2 days. Results: The case study showed that after 2 days of foot massage therapy, the pain experienced by the respondents decreased. On day 0, the pain scale before the foot massage therapy was 6 (moderate pain) and on day 1, it decreased to 3 (mild pain). Conclusion: Based on the case study results, 10 minutes of foot massage therapy, once daily for 2 days, can help reduce pain in post-cesarean section patients. The patient's pain scale decreased from 6 to 4 on day 0, and from 4 to 3 on day 1 after the foot massage therapy.
