QuestionAnswer
physiological effects of STM/Massage decrease pain, increase circulation, improve lymphatic flow, mechanical effects
largest physiological effect mechanical - loosens spasms
STM/massage uses ____ pain control ascending
massage treatment techniques effleurage, pétrissage, tapotement, percussion, friction, lymph drainage ,myofascial release
effleurage stroking, glide over skin lightly, no attempt to move underlying muscle.
with effleurage, begin ____ and move ___ begin peripheral and move towards the hear
with effleurage a ____ hand is used to apply ___ flat hand is used to apply light, even pressure
purpose of effleurage exam, acclimation, relaxing, decrease pain
petressage kneading, muscles are squeezed and lifted.
in petrissage, movement should be ____ to the muscle parallel (HOW TO LENGTHEN IT!*) move distal to proximal
purpose of petrissage decrease pain, increase length, break up adhesions, increase circulation, improve lymphatic flow
tapotement percussion- series of brisk blows administered with relaxed hands in an alternating fashion
purpose of tapotement decrease pain, promote muscle relaxation, increase circulation. used to get fluid out of the lungs
vibration fine tremulous movement, made by hand or fingers placed firmly against a part causing a part to vibrate. hands should remain ini contact and a rhythmical trembling movement will come from arms
purpose of vibration decrease pain, promote muscle relaxation
types of friction massage trigger/circulation point, and transverse/cross
friction massage fingers maintain firm contact with skin, deeper tissues targeted, small treatment area, usually uncomfortable for patient
primary purpose of friction massage produce mechanical effects and increase circulation
trigger point massage firm pressure is applied in small circular fashion
trigger point local areas of muscle tenderness-feel like nodular lumps. associated with acupuncture points
purpose of trigger point massage decrease trigger point by increasing circulation, breaking up adhesions, increasing tissue length
transverse friction massage firm pressure is applied with small movements and force perpendicular to collagen fibers
in order to use transverse friction massage, *scar needs to be COMPLETELY healed
purpose of transverse friction massage re-align collagen fibers and strengthen scar (Wolfe's law)
active release therapy non-instrumented soft tissue mobilization technique that uses sustained longitudinal manipulation of soft tissue in cooperation with active and passive motion of the individual's body
IASTM massage tools, require specialized training
purpose of Graston technique mobilize scar tissue and breakdown adhesions that cause pain and limit function
ASTYM is applied globally to soft-tissue structures of entire affected limb or body segment
graston is applied aggressively to specific areas of soft tissue dysfunction
manual lymph drainage technique slow repetitive strokes tying to push fluid along lymphatic system
direction of strokes in lymph drainage distal to proximal
always begin lymph drainage treatment ____ proximally and work distally (to get uncorking effect) body part should be elevated!
*purpose of manual lymph drainage mechanically moving fluid and metabolic waste out of interstitial space into lymphatic system, get rid of swelling
once manual lymph drainage is done, *ADD COMPRESSION to keep swelling out
myofascial release group of techniques used for purpose of relieving fascial adhesions
CT surrounding muscles, tendons, nerves, bones, organs fascia
indications for massage decrease pain, stimulate circulation, restore joint mobility, alleviate muscle cramps, increase blood flow, venous return, ROM, remove edema
contraindications for massage atherosclerosis, thrombosis, embolism, severe varicose veins, acute phlebitis, cellulitis, synovitis, absences, skin infection, cancer, fractures, open wounds, acute inflammation, swelling of systemic nature
