The therapy was given twice a week for eight weeks and a total of 16 sessions for 30 minutes. The results revealed that the pain average on the head and neck of the male and female subjects was statistically significant. For the test group who had a random test, the average of pain on the head and neck of the subjects was statistically significant. Based on the results, Soru massage therapy showed positive results for pain on the head and neck of elderly persons, which indicates that it can improve their health and quality of living. Therefore, this study is an arbitrary alternative therapy which can be applied for the elderly who have pain on the head and neck caused by muscular tension.
