was adopted for the study. The structured questionnaire was developed to collect the data. The samples were


selected by purposive sampling technique. The study was conducted on 60 lower segment caesarean section


mothers. The participants were divided into two groups 30 each in study group and control group. Pre test


was done for both the groups by using Numerical Pain Rating Scale. Hand and foot massage was given for


30 minutes to the study group for 5 days (Morning). Post test was done for both the study group and control
