ANT Physio Effects

Advanced Neuromuscular Therapy Techniques Physiological Effects

TechniqueReceptor & Physiology/Effect
GTO release - Stimulates GTO's and tendon reflex - Forces muscle to relax
Compression - Stimulates mechanoreceptors - Forces muscle to relax - Separates and spreads fibers
Compression with Manipulation - Stimulates mechanoreceptors - Forces muscle to relax - Separates and spreads fibers
Compression with Broadening - Stimulates mechanoreceptors - Forces muscle to relax - Separates and spreads fibers
Joint Play - Moves the joint in ways the client cannot - Increases joint mobility - Promotes synovial fluid circulation
Cross Fiber Massage - Stimulates mechanoreceptors - Allows muscles to relax - Breaks down adhesions
Muscle Stripping - Stimulates mechanoreceptors - Allows muscles to relax - Breaks down adhesions
Cross Fiber Friction - Stimulates collagen production - Creates local inflammatory response
Muscle Mobilization - Mobilizes superficial muscle over deeper ones - Reduces/removes adhesions - Allows muscle to move more efficiently from surrounding tissues
Trigger Points - Forces sarcomeres to release - Creates local ischemia - When pressure released flushes out metabolites
Tissue Approximation - Muscle Spindle fibers - Law of adaptation - Muscle spindle fibers adapt to new resting length
Myofascial Release - Fascia becomes more viscous and pliable - Fascial layers move relative to each other - Removes adhesions
PNF stretching - GTO & Muscle Spindle Fibers - Relaxes muscle
Passive stretching - GTO & Muscle Spindle Fibers - Relaxes muscle - Body adapts to new resting length
Lax and stretch - Mechanoreceptors in a variety of depths - Can be done actively or passively - Promotes fresh blood flow - Relaxes muscle
Eccentric contractions - Sarcomeres lengthen against a load placing tension through tendons - Encourages collagen fiber alignment - Role in strengthening

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
