The number of respondents in this study were 20 people with purposive sampling technique sampling by considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The research was carried out 2 weeks with a frequency of 4x/ week.
Results: Based on the Wilcoxon test on static stretching and efflaurage massage obtained value of p = 0.005treatment group and the control group obtained value of p = 0.102. The result of different influences with Mann Whitney test obtained by value p = 0.000.
Conclusion: Static stretching and efflaurage massagep roven to reduce pain myofascial pain syndrome m. upper trapezius significant influence on the awarding counterpain there is no significant effect
