Massage: Therapeutic Applications
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| A propioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF)technique in which you use the muscle spindles and Golgi Tendon organs to relax a hypertonic muscle. | Direct manipulation(DM) |
| The direction in which tissues resist movement the most. | Direction of Restriction |
| Excessively tense or tight | Hypertonic |
| The neurological process that lengthens myofibrils and results in a longer muscle. | Lengthening |
| A PNF technique that relieves hypertonicity by holding the body in a painless position and waiting for the nervous system to trigger relaxation, also called strain/counterstrain. | Positional Release (PR) |
| A PNF technique that uses active contraction and relaxation of the target muscle to lengthen the muscle. | Post-Isometric Relaxation (PIR) |
| bodywork applications that use the nervous system to change a muscle's resting length, also called muscle energy techniques | Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) |
| a PNF technique in which the client contracts a target muscle's antagonists to reflexively relax the target muscle | Reciprocal Inhibition (RI) |
| The length to which a relaxed, inactive muscle can be safely extended. | Resting Length |
| A PNF technique the relieves hypertonicity by holding the body in a painless position and waiting for the nervous system to trigger relaxation, also called positional release. | Strain/Counterstrain (SCS) |
| Massage applications that use the nervous system to change a muscles resting length, also called proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation. | Muscle Energy Techniques (MET) |
| hypertonic muscles stabilizing or splinting an injured area. | Muscle Guarding |
| an elastic deformation of the fascia that extends its length. | Stretching |
| the muscle being treated in a therapeutic technique | Target muscle |
| a small painful area of hypertonicity also called a tender spot | Tender Point |
| a localized area of hypertonicity at the motor end unit, or neuromuscular junction, that refers symptoms to other areas of the body. | Trigger Point |
| the process in which soft tissue move in different directions, circles, or wavy lines as the collagen fibers change shape and the fascia softens. | Unwinding |
| How many Phases of healing are there? | 3 |
| Which stage of healing involves Hemostasis,Infamation & Phagocytosis. | Stage I |
| Which stage of healing involves repair of the wound and/or formation of scar tissue. | Stage II |
| Which stage of healing involves remodeling/or rearranging of collagen fibers? | Stage III |
| Stage III of healing starts how many weeks after the injury occurs? | 6 weeks after original injury |
| Stage II of healing starts when? | 2-3 days after original injury |
| Stage I of healing last how long? | It begins immediatley after injury occurs and lasts a few days. |
| Techniques that specifically soften the fascia to create more space ans allow more movement within the tissues. | Connective Tissue Techniques |
| Name 4 Connective tissue techniques: | 45 degree stroke, Skin rolling, C-stroke, S-stroke. |
| a gentle bodywork technique that evaluates and enhances the flow of cerebrospinal fluid to improve health. | Craniosacral Therapy |
| A protective muscle contraction that occur when the tissues are stretched too far and/or too fast. | Stretch Reflex |
