Russian Sports Massage Strokes and information surrounding them.
Question | Answer |
---|---|
General Benefits of Russian Sports Massage. | Increases: Circulation, Blood and Lymph Flow, Heart and Respiration rate, Overall Metabolism, Range of Motion, Speed of Waste removal, Healing/recovery. Decreases: Muscle Fatigue and Tension, Edema, Chronic Pain, Abnormal Deposits |
Who is considered the Father of Russian Sports Massage? | Zabludovsky, a Russian Physician who earned a PhD for writing his thesis. He moved to Germany after being scrutinized. |
The Research Institute of Physical Education. | 1918 - Opened in Russia -- 1925 - Massage becomes manditory in curricula -- 1944 Develops Specific Protocols and strokes that differ from Swedish. |
General Contraindications For RSM | Open wounds, infection, fever, bleeding, blood clots (thrombosis), acute inflammation, skin damage/disease, Extreme Arthritis, First trimester in pregnancy, Extreme irritability, excitability, fatigue, or mental fatigue.q |
Name the groups of strokes in the correct order. | Effleurage, Wringing, Petrissage, Friction, Vibration, Percussion, Passive Movements. |
Name the general hand positions used in the various strokes. | Crescent, 4-Fingertip, Rake, Thumb, Open Fist, Palmar, Ulnar |
RSM affects Central Nervous System by: | Stimulative --> Increasing CNS activity. (Petrissage, Wringing, Percussion) Sedative --> Decreasing CNS activity. (Effleurage, Friction, Vibration) |
How can strokes be altered to convert the effect on CNS? | Consistant rhythm, speed, and pressure = Sedative. Varying rhythm, speed, and pressure = Stimulative. |
Which 2 groups of strokes cannot be changed from stimulative to sedative? | Petrissage and Wringing. |
How does RSM affect the skin? | Incresed circulation, (Friction, Effleurage, Percussion). Can also provide mild exfoliation allowing for easier waste removal. |
How does RSM affect the muscle tissues? | Increase in endurance, size, tone, strength and circulation, decrease in edema, fatigue and tension. (Petrissage, Wringing, Vibration, Percussion, and Passive Movement.) |
How does RSM affect the general connective tissues, (joints, tendons, ligaments)? | Warms up tissues for increased activity, Decreased tension, Increased Range of Motion, brings blood to avascular areas. (Friction, Passive Movement.) |
What is the total time for a general full body RSM on someone who is less than or equal to 130 pounds? | 40 Minutes |
What is the total time for a general full body RSM on someone who is 131-175 pounds? | 50 Minutes |
What is the total time for a general full body RSM on someone who is 176-220 pounds? | 60 Minutes |
What is the total time for a general full body RSM on someone who is more than or equal to 221 pounds? | 60 - 90 minutes |
For RSM, the inside leg is always... | back. |
For RSM, the inside hand is always... | the tool used. |
The outside hand is... | support for medial and posterior surface areas. |
The inside hand is... | support for lateral surface areas. |
The exceptions for general body mechanics are... | SUPPORTED THUMB - hand that is used for the support matches the leg that is back. ULNAR |
Always keep hands _______ of the front foot. | Ahead. (Allows for transfer of body weight, like pushing a heavy object. |
Single handed effleurage and wringing strokes are applied by using ______ for movement. | Legs. |
Russian Strokes are applied in which direction? | The direction that best supports lymph flow. |
Strokes _________ _________ flexing joints in the appendicular skeleton. | Never Cross |
Never use more than ______ different hand positions from the same group of strokes on the same segment. | Three |
True or false: The stroke order can be changed without a specific goal. | FALSE: The only time you should alter the order of strokes is to support a specific goal. |
True or false: Always work the side of the trunk farther, and extremities closer. | TRUE: This allows easier movement of lymph, better body mechanics, and better use of body weight. |
True or false: Never work directly on large concentrations of lymph nodes. | TRUE: The goal is to move lymph towards these nodes for the body to rid the waste in the lymph. |
True or False: Start distal and move proximal segmentally to support lymph flow. | FALSE: Work proximal first so any blockages can be removed so lymph can freely move towards the trunk. |
What are the percentage, speed, and effects for effleurage? | 5% - 24-26 movements per minute, sedative |
What are the percentage, speed, and effects for wringing? | 15% - 20-24 movements per minute, stimulative |
What are the percentage, speed, and effects for petrissage? | 60% - 48-60 movements per minute, stimulative |
What are the percentage, speed, and effects for friction? | 12% - 120-180 movements per minute, sedative |
What are the percentage, speed, and effects for vibration? | 1% - 200-300 movements per minute, sedative |
What are the percentage, speed, and effects for percussion? | 1% - 200-300 movements per minute, stimulative |
What are the percentage, speed, and effects for passive movements? | 4% - slow, deliberate movements, neutral |
