The patient should be comfortable and properly draped prior to the initiation of treatment. | |
The therapistʼs hands must be clean, dry, and warm. | |
The therapist must be positioned in an efficient posture during treatment and maintain the required pressure and rhythm based on the goals of treatment. | |
The massage should start using the effleurage technique. | |
The amount of time required for each treatment is dependent on the body part and therapeutic goal. | |
Generally, the back requires 15 minutes as opposed to a smaller area or joint that requires eight to ten minutes. | |
The intensity should progressively increase and then decrease, using effleurage again to end the treatment session. | |
Lubricant is indicated with all strokes except friction massage. | |
Massage Techniques | |
Effleurage is a massage technique that is usually light in stroke and produces a reflexive response. | |
Effleurage is performed at the beginning and at the end of a massage to allow the patient to relax and should be directed towards the heart. | |
Effleurage can be applied as a deep stroke to produce both a mechanical and a reflexive response. | |
Friction: is a massage technique that incorporates small circular motions over a trigger point or muscle spasm. | |
Friction deep massage technique that penetrates into the depth of a muscle and attempts to reduce edema, loosen adhesions, and relieve muscle spasm. | |
Friction massage is used quite frequently with chronic inflammation or with overuse injuries. | |
Petrissage: is a massage technique described as kneading where the muscle is squeezed and rolled under the therapistʼs hands. | |
The goal of petrissage is to loosen adhesions, improve lymphatic return, and facilitate removal of metabolic waste from the treatment area. | |
Petrissage must provide a distal to proximal sequence of kneading over the muscle. | |
Petrissage can be performed with two hands over larger muscle groups or with as few as two fingers over smaller muscles. | |
Tapotement: is a massage technique that provides stimulation through rapid and alternating movements such as tapping, hacking, cupping, and slapping. | |
The primary purpose of tapotement is to enhance circulation and stimulate peripheral nerve endings. | |
Vibration: is a massage technique that places the therapistʼs hands or fingers firmly over an area and utilizes a rapid shaking motion that causes vibration to the treatment area. | |
The therapist initiates vibration from the forearm while maintaining firm contact on the treatment area. | |
Vibration is used primarily for relaxation. |
