| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Effects that occur because 2 or more therapies are used together | Combined effects massage |
| Pain spasm pain cycle theory | A persistent cycle in which pain triggers muscle spasms which then trigger more pain response |
| The first effects to occur in the tissue as a result of massage are called | Primary effects |
| Growth hormone | A hormone which promotes cell division and is most actively produced during sleep |
| Short term effect | Effects that only last a short period of time. Usually a few days |
| The levels of this chemical go up after a massage session. The chemical is most often related to maternal behavior adult bonding and feelings of affection what is the chemical. | Oxytocin |
| Massage increases available amounts of feel good chemicals in the body such as | Dopamine oxytocin and serotonin |
| By inducing this nervous system response massage promotes relaxation | Parasympathetic nervous system response |
| These types of effects are the direct result of manual manipulation of soft tissue for example the separation of muscle fibers that occurs with moderate to deep pressure strokes | Mechanical effects |
| This theory explains how massage heat and cold can interrupt pain signals by stimulating faster larger nerves | Gate control theory |
| Indication means | Massage is advisable and likely to benefit the client |
| Systemic effect | Effect that influences the whole body as opposed to one local region often related to effects on the nervous system or the circulatory system. Or because of changes to the body’s chemistry and metabolism. |
| Indication | A piece of information that points to the usefulness of a treatment or action. |
| Long term effect | An effect that continues for a long period of time. |
| Massage increases the number and activity of these cells. They are responsible for increasing collagen production and the tensile strength of healing soft tissue | Fibroblasts |
| Massage decreases this stress related chemical in the body | Cortisol |
| Histamine | Chemical th at causes local blood vessels to dilate thus increasing local circulation when it is released |
| Reflexive effect | An effect from an indirect response of the clients nervous system |
| With the improved quality of sleep that massage provides production of this chemical which reduces pain in the body is increased | Somatostatin |
| One somatic reflex related to golgi tendon organs that can be manipulated by massage strokes is | The tendon reflex |
| Cumulative effect | The belief that regular massage leads to improved health over time |
| Stress | Any event that threatens homeostasis and causes the fight or flight response. |
| An example of a somatic reflex mediated by muscle spindles is | The stretch reflex |
| Massage stimulates digestion of the activation of which branch of the autonomic nervous system | Parasympathetic nervous system |
| Insomnia | Inability to fall asleep stay asleep or to experience restful continuous sleep |
| Parasympathetic nervous system | The nervous system branch that is responsible for slowing the heart rate increasing digestive activity and encouraging rest and recovery |
| Gate control theory | Theory that points to a hating mechanism of the spinal cord where nerve fibers carrying somatic stimuli can close the gate to dull aching pain |
| Physiological effect | Effect that occurs in the body |
| EEG | Electroencephalogram a machine researchers use to measure brain wave activity when performing studies in massage recipients |
| Psychological effect | An effect that occurs in the mind and or emotions |
| Which massage technique is lost commonly used to loosen and discharge phlegm | Tapotement |
| The movement of the therapists hands over the skin desquamates dead skin cells. This is a physiological effect of massage on the | Integumentary system |
| The positive effect massage has on these brain waves associated with deep relaxation and sleep | Delta |
| Entrapment | When soft tissue such as muscles and ligaments exert excessive pressure on nerve tissue |
| Massage can reduce stress by regulating the body’s wake and sleep cycles also known as | Circadian rhythms |
| An effect in massage is best described as | The result or consequence of an action |
| Depression | A state of sadness hopelessness and despair usually felt over a period of time |
| The increase in delta wave activity in the brain which is promoted by massage is linked to enhanced | Relaxation and sleep |
| Effects on the structure of the body | Structural effects |
| Effleurage | Elongated stroke that glides across the skin with minimal drag warming tissue and promoting relaxation. |
| Energetic effect | An effect that is believed by some to occur in the subtle energy system of the body |
| The clients mental and emotional experience of a massage session is a result of | Psychological effect |
| Anxiety is | Fear or nervousness about what might happen |
| Primary effects from massage are | First effects that occur in the tissue |
| Cumulative effects of massage are | Build up of positive effects and benefits to the body over time |
| Neuromuscular and somatic mechanisms can be manipulated by massage techniques to alter muscle tension patterns and re-educate proprioceptors. This is an example of | A reflexive effect on the nervous system that produces a physiological effect on the muscular system |
| Combined effects of massage refer to | Effects that occur because two or more therapies are used together (massage and a hot pack) |
| When a client remarks that they are feeling a good pain during a massage this is an example of | Counter irritation |
| A mechanical effect might be caused if the therapist | Lifts compresses rubs twists or pulls in the clients soft tissue |
| This elongated stroke glides across the clients skin with minimal drag warming the tissue and promoting relaxation | Effleurage |
| An example of a somatic reflex is | The stretch reflex |
