Cyriax deep transverse massage effect on post-burn scars (Original)

Abstract

Burns are a very frequent form of trauma, with a significantly high prevalence in underdeveloped countries compared to developed countries, associated with significant post-burn sequelae. The present study applies manual therapy procedures to determine the efficacy of Cyriax massage in improving the healing process of patients with burns in the upper limbs. This proposal is determined from the results of a correlational study carried out between March 2023 and June 2023 with a sample of 3 patients burned in the region of the shoulder and forearm, in addition a therapeutic algorithm is systematized during the application of massage for work with this population group.
