| Swedish massage strokes (in order) | Effleurage, petrissage, friction, tapotement, vibration |
| Effleurage | Strokes that glide over the skin without attempting to move the deep muscle masses. The strokes are long and centripetal, deep or superficial. Strokes are done with the palms of one or two hands, knuckles, finger tips, or flats of thumbs. |
| Petrissage | Massage of the muscles by kneading, pressing, rolling, squeezing, and picking up. Performed with one or two hands, two thumbs, or with thumbs and fingers. |
| Friction | Done with the thumbs, finger tips, or palm of the hand using a circular movement or rapid back and forth movements. It is toward the center or around the joint, moves the tissues deep to where you are contacting the skin. |
| Tapotement | Any series of brisk blows occurring in a rhythmic, rapid, alternating fashion using various parts of your hand for different effects. |
| Types of tapotement | slapping, cupping, tapping, hacking, beating |
| Slapping | brisk, light slaps with fingers of loose, easy hands |
| Cupping | use cupped hand, loose wrist, used especially with respiratory problems |
| Tapping | done with tips or pads of fingers |
| Hacking | done with the ulnar border of the open hand |
| Beating | same as slapping, except using hypothenar eminence of loosely closed fist |
| Vibration | Done by placing the flat surface of your hand, two fingers, or all fingers upon the body and rapidly stroking by trembling, pressing movements, in an up and down direction, not side to side. Especially good for the stomach and the spine. |
| Digit | a finger or toe |
| Hallux | the big toe |
| Distal | located further from a point of reference |
| Proximal | located closer to a point of reference |
| Plantar | bottom side of the foot |
| Dorsal | top side of the foot |
| Joint | where two bones come together |
| Tendon | white, fibrous cord of dense connective tissue; attaches muscles to bone (more flexible than ligaments) |
| Ligament | dense connective tissue; connects bone to bone (more easily injured) |
| Origin | the attachment of the muscle tendon to the stationary bone |
| Insertion | the attachment of the muscles tendon to moveable bone |
| Plantarflexion | ankle movement, pointing the toes downward or away from the body |
| Dorsiflexion | ankle movement, point the toes upward, or toward the body |
| Inversion | action of the sole of the foot turning inward (medially) |
| Eversion | action of the sole of the foot turning outward (laterally) |
| Function of bones | Serve as framework for the body Protect delicate organs Serve as levers on which the muscles act upon to produce body movement |
| Phalanges | bones of the toes |
| Metatarsals | long bones of the foot |
| Tarsals | bones that help to make up the arches of the feet |
| Calcaneus | the heel |
| Talus | sits on top of the calcaneus and joins with the bones of the lower leg to make up your ankle. It is the weight bearing bone of the ankle. |
| General functions of muscle tissue | Body movement Heat production Posture and support |
| Foramen | an opening through which blood vessels, nerves, or ligaments pass |
| Tuberosity | a large, rounded usually roughened process |
| Process | a prominence or projections, as from a bone |
| Aponeurosis | a broad, flat, thin tendon |
| Fascia | latin for "band" or "bandage." Type of connective tissue located throughout the body that shapes and contains muscles |
| Flexion | a movement decreasing the angle of the joint |
| Extension | a movement increasing the angle of the joint |
| Spinal regions (in order) | Cervical, Thoracic, Lumbar, Sacrum, Coccyx |
| Atlas | The first vertebra, a.k.a. C1 Supports skull and has no body |
| Axis | The second vertebra, a.k.a. C2 Allows rotation; has a portion called the odontoid process (dens) which acts as a body for the atlas. |
| Cervical region | C1-C7 |
| Thoracic region | T1-T12 Ribs attach |
| Lumbar region | L1-L5 Largest and most frequently injured vertebrae |
| Sacrum | 5 vertebrae fused together Meets with the ilium to form the posterior part of the pelvis |
| Coccyx | 2-4 fused vertebrae |
| Trochanter | large, blunt projection found only on the femur |
| Articulation | a joint; the place of union or junction between two or more bones of the skeleton |
| Biarticular | affecting two joint |
| Hamstrings | Origin: Ischial tuberosity, linea aspera Insertion: Head of fibula - lateral aspect, lateral condyle of tibia, anterior proximal tibial shaft, and posterior medial tibial condyle |
| Gastrocnemius | Origin: medial epicondyle of femur and lateral epicondyle of femur Insertion: calcaneus via Achilles tendon |
| Soleus | Origin: soleal line of tibia, posterior head of fibula, and upper shaft of fibula Insertion: calcaneus via Achilles tendon |
| Three hamstring muscles | Biceps femoris Semitendinosus Semimembranosus |
| Knee joint | formed by femur and tibia |
| Hip joint | formed by femur head and acetabulum |
