Sports Massage

QuestionAnswer
definition of sports massage the science and art of applying specific and related techniques, the application of anatomy and physiology and an understanding of strength training and conditioning to enhance athletic performance
5 applications of sports massage recovery: remedial: rehabilitation: maintenance: event:
Benefits of sports massage increases circulation & lymph promotes relaxation increases ROM and flexability breaks down fascial adhesions produces strong and flexible scars, realigning collagen fibers reduces muscle tension & spasm
Contrindications of sports massage people with frail health hypertension internal injuries open wounds varicose veins heart conditions cancer acute severe trauma bleeding shock
Sliding moves fluids soothe nervous system stretch and compress soft tissues
Thumb slides broaden tissue stretch specific muscle tissue reduce muscle tension
broadening broaden and separate muscle tissue promote muscular relaxation
kneading warm soft tissues increase circulation increase tissue pliability relax muscles
pumping increase circulation broaden muscles increase tissue pliability
sustained compression reduce muscle tension and spasm elicit general relaxation
rocking compression create joint movement increase circulation
digital compression deactivate trigger points press stress points stimulate acupoints
skin lifting/rolling separate fascial tissues increase local circulation
percussion stimulate nerve endings increase mental clarity and alertness improve mental focus
superficial friction warm superficial tissues increase local circulation simulate nerve endings
deep circular friction manipulate soft tissues around joints increase soft tissue pliability
deep transverse friction break up fascial adhesions treat tendinitis form healthy scar tissue
vibration/ shaking/ jostling/ mechanical stimulate physcological processes increase local circulation relax muscles and reduce pain reduce guarding
joint mobilatzation increase ROM enhance flexibility promote muscular relaxation
PNF Stretching lengthen muscles/increase elasticity of muscles relax and release muscle reeducate nervous system to allow increased ROM
what is required for efficient traverse/cross-fiber friction? skin and finger move together sufficient depth sufficient sweep sufficient duration- 1 min work directly on location friction effect is most important not pressure 24-48 hours after injury you can work deeper
Negative effects of excessive exercise increased metabolic waste build up muscle or connective strains inflammation and associated fibrosis spasms and pain that restrict movement
Treatment of muscle bellies counter strain PNF trigger point therapy cross-fiber/trasverse friction work in relaxed position
treatment of tendons treat in most accessible position PNF counter strain traverse/cross-fiber friction
treatment of ligaments longitude strokes, go with tendon counterstain and PNF
treatment of sheathed tendons PNF is best do not over stretch work these on a stretch
2 Most important points durning event massage? no pain and not deep
Required for athletes safety durning post/ recovery massage? Asses athletes condition cool down rehydrate and relax
definition of R.I.C.E. and when to use it? rest, ice, compression, elevation sprains, strains, swelling, injuries
what does PNF stand for? proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation
3 grades of sprains and strains grade 1: mild pain & tenderness; micro-tearing, little to no loss of ROM grade 2: moderate to severe pain; some tearing; visible swelling; reduced ROM; strength unstable grade 3: Severe pain; rupture of tissues; swelling; loss of function; no ROM
