Abstract
Osteoarthritis, which is characterized by cartilage degeneration, is the most common type of joint pain, affecting a staggering 8.5 million people in the UK (Wood et al., 2023). Synovial joints play a crucial role in enabling smooth, efficient movement by acting as levers that absorb and transmit the necessary forces. Joint mobility is reliant on the underlying anatomical structure and the surrounding tissues. Excessive stress on these joints can lead to injuries and subsequent joint pain, resulting in discomfort and reduced mobility, ultimately compromising an individual's quality of life. Therefore, it is imperative to understand and effectively treat conditions associated with joint dysfunctions. This paper aims to explore the effectiveness of Sports Massage Therapy (SMT) and Muscle Energy Technique (MET) in alleviating Joint Pain and restoring Range of Motion.
