Complaints of chronic pelvic injury are one of the most common injuries suffered. The results of Riskesdas DIY in 2018 the percentage of pelvic injuries classified as members of the lower limbs reached 64.52%. Tepurak (Tekan, Pukul, Gerak) is one of manipulation therapy. This study aims to: 1) Assess the effectiveness of Tepurak manipulation to reduce the level of pelvic pain in patients with chronic pelvic injuries; 2) Assess the effectiveness of Tepurak manipulation to improve pelvic ROM (Range of Motion) in patients with chronic pelvic injuries.

This study uses a Pre-experimental design with One Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The populations in this study were patients who suffered pelvic chronic injuries in the DIY region. The sampling technique uses quota sampling which is calculated by Slovin formula obtained quota of 20 people. Data collected was pain scale and ROM both before and after treatment. Paired Samples T-Test is used to analyze ROM data on flexion, adduction, external rotation and Wilcoxon signed rank test for function scale and ROM extension, abduction, and internal rotation.

Based on the research data, the significance level for the pain scale is 0.00 (p<0.05) and the significance level of each ROM movement (flexion, extension, adduction, abduction, external rotation, pelvic internal rotation) after Tepurak manipulation is 0.00 (p<0.05). This shows that there is a decrease in pain scale and an increase in ROM. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the manipulation of Tepurak is effective for healing chronic pelvic injuries characterized by decreased pain and increased pelvic ROM.
