چکیده
Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of an 8-week Probody Massage Program on body alignment and plantar pressure balance in middle-aged men with musculoskeletal diseases. Method: The subject of this study were 20 middle-aged men with musculoskeletal diseases in B Metropolitan city and they participated Probody Massage Program for 8 weeks twice a week. Physical characteristics (height, weight, BMI), body alignment and plantar pressure were measured before and after the experiment. Results: The Probody Massage Program showed positive changes in physiological characteristics, body alignment and plantar pressure balance of twenty middle-aged men with musculoskeletal diseases. Conclusion: Consequently it was suggested that an 8-week Probody Massage Program could help the middle-aged men with musculoskeletal diseases to improve and prevent their posture's unbalance. The Probody Massage Program could be utilized for improvement of body alignment and plantar pressure balance in the middle-aged women with musculoskeletal diseases.
