| A stroke that evaluates soft tissues, produce relaxation and stimulation in a client is called? | gliding |
| What would be treated with the most caution? | Acute rheumatoid arthritis |
| This is the primary long centripetal stroke, which may be deep or superficial, it enhances the venous and lymphatic circulation, and has the ability to assess the conditions in the tissues while having reflexive effect on the body's structure. | Effleurage which is a gliding/stroking movement. |
| The purpose of gliding strokes are? | Apply oils, Flush out waste material following a deep strokes, Evaluation of soft tissues, warm the muscles in preparation for deep work, relaxation,stimulation,broadening of muscles tissues, Decrease spasm, uses to flow smoothly from body part to another |
| This strock do muscle belly is picked up, lifted from the bones, and rolled, squeezed or wrung, stimulated effect on the muscles and on the circulation in the deeper blood vessels and lymphatic system. | Petrissage is a kneading strock. |
| The purpose of kneading strokes are: | to assist venous return, removal of metabolic wastes, stretch muscle tissues, soften fascia, reduces muscle tension, and increases circulation and nutrition of deeper tissues. |
| This technique press tissues into underlying bone causing it to spread and to be squeezed. | Compression is done as a pumping action. |
| The purpose of Compression strokes are: | oil or not,Sport massages, chair use, mostly used on the belly muscle, very specific pinpoint compression is called direct pressure or ischemic compression, trigger point. |
| This technique is deep in character, this is frequently used in the treatment of joint & around bony prominences. It require direct pressure on the skin, no gliding,it can be circular, transverse or parallel to fiber. It is the deepest direct strock. | Friction |
| The purpose of friction stroke are: | Separates tissues/breaks down adhesions,Increases circulation/raises local temperature, soften deposit between fascia/facilitates their removal/Aids absorption of fluid around joints, decrease spasm with direct pressure/limbers up joint/tendons/muscles. |
