Summary
This study tests whether a special calf muscle massage (myofascial release) can reduce pain and improve walking and daily function in women with knee osteoarthritis. Thirty women aged 45-55 with mild to moderate knee arthritis will receive either the real massage or a sham treatment three times a week for four weeks. The goal is to see if this simple, non-drug approach offers real relief.
