Sari
ABSTRAK
Hampir semua kalangan setiap hari mengeluhkan nyeri di daerah leher, permasalahan ini paling banyak dirasakan pada usia produktif dan lansia, sehingga mengganggu aktivitas dan produktifitas kesehariannya. Nyeri leher ini tidak dapat disepelekan, karena termasuk 5 besar seseorang mencari pertolongan kesehatan. Myofascial release merupakan salah satu cara untuk mengurangi keluhan nyeri leher, yaotu dengan melepaskan pembatas (hambatan) di dalam lapisan fascia yang lebih dalam. Hal ini dapat dilakukan dengan cara peregangan elastis komponen otot fascia, bersama dengan jaringan ikat, dan mengubah viskositas substansi dasar fascia. Sehingga dapat meningkatkan kemampuan fungsional. Kegiatan pengabdian ini ditujukan meningkatkan pengetahuan pada kader posyandu dan masyarakat dalam upaya penurunan nyeri leher pada otot upper trapezius. kegiatan diawali dengan mengidentifikasi permasalahan, selanjutnya pre-test kemudian dilakukan penyuluhan dan demontrasi tentang penanganan sederhana dalam mengurangi nyeri. Pada minggu selanjutnya dilakukan pendampingan kader posyandu ke masyarakat, dan diakhir sesi kegiatan dilakukan post-test dan evaluasi. Didapatkan hasil peningkatan pengetahuan pada kader posyandu dan masyarakat dalam upaya penurunan nyeri leher pada otot upper trapezius dengan myofascial release. Penyuluhan dan cara penanganan sederhana upaya penurunan nyeri leher dengan myofascial release pada otot upper trapeziussangat bermanfaat, sehingga masyarakat dapat mengatasi keluhan nyeri leher pada otot upper trapezius.

ABSTRACT
People from all walks of life frequently complain of neck pain—an issue particularly prevalent among the working-age population and the elderly—which interferes with daily activities and productivity. Neck pain should not be underestimated, as it ranks among the top five reasons for seeking medical attention. Myofascial release is a method used to alleviate neck pain by releasing restrictions within the deeper fascial layers. This is achieved by elastically stretching the myofascial components and connective tissues, as well as altering the viscosity of the fascial ground substance, thereby enhancing functional ability. This community service activity aimed to increase the knowledge of *Posyandu* (integrated health post) volunteers and the general public regarding methods to reduce upper trapezius neck pain. The activity began with problem identification and a pre-test, followed by an educational session and a demonstration of simple pain-relief techniques. In the following week, volunteers provided guidance to community members, and the program concluded with a post-test and evaluation. The activity resulted in increased knowledge among *Posyandu* volunteers and community members regarding the use of myofascial release to reduce upper trapezius neck pain. Education and simple myofascial release techniques for the upper trapezius muscle proved highly beneficial, enabling the community to manage upper trapezius neck pain effectively.
