The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of massage therapy methods on reducing total cholesterol levels in individuals with hypercholesterolemia. This research method used a quasi-experimental design with a one group pretest-posttest design approach. A total of 10 respondents with cholesterol levels ≥ 200 mg / dL underwent massage therapy for four weeks (twice a week, 30 minutes per session). Cholesterol levels were measured before and after the intervention. Data analysis used the t-test. The results of the study showed that the average cholesterol level before the intervention was 240 mg / dL, decreasing to 180 mg / dL after the intervention. Statistical tests showed significant results with a p value = 0.001 (p <0.05). The conclusion is that massage therapy is effective in lowering total cholesterol levels in individuals with hypercholesterolemia and can be used as a non-pharmacological supporting therapy.
