UCMT Russ Sport Mas

Russian Sports Massage Strokes and information surrounding them.

QuestionAnswer
General Benefits of Russian Sports Massage. Increases: Circulation, Blood and Lymph Flow, Heart and Respiration rate, Overall Metabolism, Range of Motion, Speed of Waste removal, Healing/recovery. Decreases: Muscle Fatigue and Tension, Edema, Chronic Pain, Abnormal Deposits
Who is considered the Father of Russian Sports Massage? Zabludovsky, a Russian Physician who earned a PhD for writing his thesis. He moved to Germany after being scrutinized.
The Research Institute of Physical Education. 1918 - Opened in Russia -- 1925 - Massage becomes manditory in curricula -- 1944 Develops Specific Protocols and strokes that differ from Swedish.
General Contraindications For RSM Open wounds, infection, fever, bleeding, blood clots (thrombosis), acute inflammation, skin damage/disease, Extreme Arthritis, First trimester in pregnancy, Extreme irritability, excitability, fatigue, or mental fatigue.q
Name the groups of strokes in the correct order. Effleurage, Wringing, Petrissage, Friction, Vibration, Percussion, Passive Movements.
Name the general hand positions used in the various strokes. Crescent, 4-Fingertip, Rake, Thumb, Open Fist, Palmar, Ulnar
RSM affects Central Nervous System by: Stimulative --> Increasing CNS activity. (Petrissage, Wringing, Percussion) Sedative --> Decreasing CNS activity. (Effleurage, Friction, Vibration)
How can strokes be altered to convert the effect on CNS? Consistant rhythm, speed, and pressure = Sedative. Varying rhythm, speed, and pressure = Stimulative.
Which 2 groups of strokes cannot be changed from stimulative to sedative? Petrissage and Wringing.
How does RSM affect the skin? Incresed circulation, (Friction, Effleurage, Percussion). Can also provide mild exfoliation allowing for easier waste removal.
How does RSM affect the muscle tissues? Increase in endurance, size, tone, strength and circulation, decrease in edema, fatigue and tension. (Petrissage, Wringing, Vibration, Percussion, and Passive Movement.)
How does RSM affect the general connective tissues, (joints, tendons, ligaments)? Warms up tissues for increased activity, Decreased tension, Increased Range of Motion, brings blood to avascular areas. (Friction, Passive Movement.)
What is the total time for a general full body RSM on someone who is less than or equal to 130 pounds? 40 Minutes
What is the total time for a general full body RSM on someone who is 131-175 pounds? 50 Minutes
What is the total time for a general full body RSM on someone who is 176-220 pounds? 60 Minutes
What is the total time for a general full body RSM on someone who is more than or equal to 221 pounds? 60 - 90 minutes
For RSM, the inside leg is always... back.
For RSM, the inside hand is always... the tool used.
The outside hand is... support for medial and posterior surface areas.
The inside hand is... support for lateral surface areas.
The exceptions for general body mechanics are... SUPPORTED THUMB - hand that is used for the support matches the leg that is back. ULNAR
Always keep hands _______ of the front foot. Ahead. (Allows for transfer of body weight, like pushing a heavy object.
Single handed effleurage and wringing strokes are applied by using ______ for movement. Legs.

Strokes _________ _________ flexing joints in the appendicular skeleton. Never Cross
Never use more than ______ different hand positions from the same group of strokes on the same segment. Three
True or false: The stroke order can be changed without a specific goal. FALSE: The only time you should alter the order of strokes is to support a specific goal.
True or false: Always work the side of the trunk farther, and extremities closer. TRUE: This allows easier movement of lymph, better body mechanics, and better use of body weight.
True or false: Never work directly on large concentrations of lymph nodes. TRUE: The goal is to move lymph towards these nodes for the body to rid the waste in the lymph.
True or False: Start distal and move proximal segmentally to support lymph flow. FALSE: Work proximal first so any blockages can be removed so lymph can freely move towards the trunk.
What are the percentage, speed, and effects for effleurage? 5% - 24-26 movements per minute, sedative
What are the percentage, speed, and effects for wringing? 15% - 20-24 movements per minute, stimulative
What are the percentage, speed, and effects for petrissage? 60% - 48-60 movements per minute, stimulative
What are the percentage, speed, and effects for friction? 12% - 120-180 movements per minute, sedative
What are the percentage, speed, and effects for vibration? 1% - 200-300 movements per minute, sedative
What are the percentage, speed, and effects for percussion? 1% - 200-300 movements per minute, stimulative
What are the percentage, speed, and effects for passive movements? 4% - slow, deliberate movements, neutral
