Summary

This study tested whether combining myofascial release (a type of massage) with acupressure on a specific point (BL23) can reduce chronic perineal pain in women. 40 women aged 18-30 with pain from an episiotomy scar took part. The goal was to see if this hands-on approach could lower pain intensity and improve scar quality.
