This is one of the common problems for professionals who are standing by nature. Symptoms include swelling, aching and tiredness in the legs. Usually a red, irritated skin rash develops into a open wound. Matrix Rhythm Therapy (MaRhyThe) is a recent clinical modality, which works on cell biology and gives good results in pain management and restriction of movements.

intervention: Matrix Rhythm Therapy was applied on posterior aspect of leg region extending around the wound are once a week for 8 weeks with treatment duration of 60 minutes.

Result: Pain of the subject after 8 session was 0 at rest and 2 while walking on the basis of VAS. Wound size is length 8 cm and breadth 7 cm and 2 mm dept and categorized as Type A grade 1 which completely healed with healthy scar. The photographic evidence is suggestive considerable healing of venous ulcers are noted between each session of matrix rhythm therapy (MaRhyThe).

Conclusion: Study concludes that Matrix rhythm therapy (MaRhyThe) could be considered as adjunct in wound healing of venous ulcers.

Key words: Matrix rhythm Therapy, Venous ulcers.
