  • Background: Myofascial pain syndrome is accute or chronic pain on scheletal muscle of fascia. It occured as excessive contraction on upper trapezius muscle. This condition causes myofacial trigger point that muscles is spasme, tightness, and stiffness. Majority workers at Wonocolo used hand to lift load in their work. It causes muscle trauma of excessive muscle and failure on muscle tissue that can cause trigger point. In relieving the muscle pain, the researcher used contract relax stretching and auto stretching interventions. Puspose: To analyze the difference of contract relax stretching and auto stretching influences toward myofascial syndrome upper trapezius relieving on mining workers at Wonocolo. Aim: It is quasi experimental study with randomized two group design pre-test and post-test. Population of this study is mining workers in Wonocolo. Sample of this study is 32 respondents with inclusion criteria. Result: Result of analysis used normality test of intervention group contract relax stretching. It obtained pretest (0,061> 0,05) and posttest (0,065> 0,05) values. Intervention group of auto stretching obtained pretest (0,051> 0,05) and posttest (0,201> 0,05) values. Result of paired t test test with probability value is (0,000 < 0,05) or (p< 0,05). Threfore, H1 is accepted. Meanwhile, result of independent t test obtained probability value (0,000 < 0,05) and H1 is accepted. Conclusion: There is different effect of contract relax stretching and auto stretching to myofascial syndrome upper trapezius relieving on oil mining workers in Wonocolo.
