Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) complaints are common among elderly mothers due to aging and excessive activity, increasing the risk of soft tissue injuries and reducing productivity. This community service aims to identify injury risks using Nordic Body Map and provide first aid education based on PEACE and LOVE protocol (Protect, Elevate, Avoid anti-inflammatories, Compress, Educate; Load, Optimism, Vascularisation, Exercise) to 20 elderly mothers at Polowijen Health Center, Blimbing District, Malang, on April 11, 2026. Methods include interactive lectures, discussions, practical simulations, and educational flyers for 45 minutes. Results show 20% shoulder complaints, 10% knee, and 70% none; participants were enthusiastic, actively asking questions, and improved understanding of proper injury management to prevent risky practices like direct massage. This activity is crucial for enhancing elderly independence, reducing family dependency, and healthcare costs through evidence-based physiotherapy education.
