Methods: This study is quasi-experimental with a pre-post test group design, where pain is measured using Numeric Rating Scale (NRS).

The sample was divided into 2 treatment groups: treatment group I consisted of 7 people given kinesiotapping intervention and treatment group II consisted of 7 people given massage intervention. Results: The normality test using the Shapiro Wilk test found that the data was not normally distributed with a p value < 0.05, while the homogeneity test using Levene's test found that the data was homogeneous with a p value > 0.05. The results of hypothesis testing I using the Wilcoxon test obtained a value of p = 0.017 with median (min-max) before and after amounting to 5 (4-6) and 3 (1-3). The results of hypothesis II using the Wilcoxon test obtained a p value = 0.016 with median (min-max) before and after of 5 (4-8) and 1 (0-3). The results of hypothesis III test using Mann Whitney test obtained p value = 0.006 with a median (min-max) before and after of 3 (2-4) and 4 (4-6).
