10-Therapeutic Massage Flashcards
actin
a thin protein in muscle cells, it functions with myosin to produce a contraction
autonomic nervous system
the part of the nervous system responsible for control of the bodily functions not consciously directed, such as breathing, the heartbeat, and digestive processes
afferent
nerves that carry impulses towards the central nervous system from the outside world
central nervous system -CNS
the complex of nerve tissues that controls the activities of the body. In vertebrates it comprises the brain and spinal cord.
efferent
nerves that transmit impulses from the brain and spinal cord to the muscles
endomysium
a wispy layer of connective tissue inside the muscle that encloses each individual myocyte
fascicle
a bundle of skeletal muscle fibers surrounded by perimysium
friction massage
aids in the absorption of local effusions and helps to loosen scar tissue. Small, circular motions are used to move the skin over the underlying tissue.
effleurage
a form of massage that uses hand over hand gliding movement using long strokes over the body
ischemia
decreased blood circulation to muscle and surrounding tissues
massage
gentle manipulation of soft tissue, muscle and connective tissue using hands on techniques
myocyte
– the type of cell found in muscle tissue
myofibil
any of the elongated contractile threads found in striated muscle cells
perimysium
the sheath of connective tissue surrounding a bundle of muscle fibers
petrissage
a form of massage that uses gentle lifting, squeezing, kneading and rolling of the skin and underlying musculature
sarcomere
a structural unit of a myofibril in striated muscle
somatic nervous system-SNS
the part of the peripheral nervous system associated with voluntary movement of the muscles and organs including reflex movements
care objectives of therapeutic massage
promotes healing of body , provides enrgy and techniques, restoration of body function,
- present options, take care of client
- communicate and educate
what can be expected after massage?
reactions: soreness, ataxia, hives, runny nose, temp. increased lethargy, healing, adaptation
massage
gentle manipulation of soft tissue, musscle, connective tissue using hands on techniques
massage= touch
petting
caressingg, random, special time, your enviroment, non specific touch
massage 2
caring, organized, structed app, new enviroment,very specific
contradictions
acute inflammation, v=cancer, cardiac disease,ER care, feveer, open lensions, pregnancy, zoonoyic disease
indications
muscular restrictions, relaxation, pain relief, incraese sirculation, pre.post treatment for events, post surgical cases, hospice care, incraesed confidence is shy dogs q
endangerment sites
neck, spine, elbows, axillary, inguin al, popliteal areas
techniques of touching
passive, effleurage, petrissage, compression, percusiion, vibration, friction, body mobilixation-BMT
jack meagher
physical /massage therapist,equine atheketses,
father of canine massage
dr john harvey kellogs
american physican, art of massage book
mechanical - application of pressure by therapist
reflexive- response of cl to pressure
metabolic- conbination of mechanical and reflex response
greatest effects on massage seen on
integumentary, nervous, cardiovascular, muscular
integumentary system components
hair, nails, associated galnds and skin
integumentary system functions
metabolizes vit d, regulates temp and BP, protective barrier0organisms, enviromental sources, communication point between internal and external enviroment
sensory organs
skin is largest sensory organ in body bc of receptors
- 600,000 nerve endings in human
- 50,000 nerven ending in square inch fingertips
NERVOUS SYSTEM
-Central
-Peripheral
Sensory afferent system=periphery to CNS
Motor efferent system= CNS to periphery
-Classifications based on functions
Somatic nervous system-SNS
Voluntary info from CNS to skeletal muscles
Autonomic nervous system -ANS
Involuntary controls of smooth and cardiac muscle/ glands
SUBDIVISION OF ANS
PARAYMPATHETIC
SYMPATHETIC
PARAYMPATHETIC
rest , relxa, recover
effects- Pupil constriction, Stomach growling ,Respiration deep/shallow, Low heart rate, relax
SYMPATHETIC
fight,flight,freeze
effects: pupil dilation,digestion
stops,bladder/bowel,increased, RR/volume,increased hr-stress
PARASYMMPATHETIC RESPONSE-MASSAGE GREAT FOR RELAXATION
Decreased cortisol 31%
Increased serotonin 28%, Increased dopamine 31%
Importance of touch for massage
Reversal of sympathetic response
CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
COMPONENTS- CARDIOVASCULAR + LYMPHATIC
- heart, blood, lymphatic vessels, fluids the vessels support, related organs
FUNCTION OF CARDIO VASCULAR SYSTEM
Transport is major function
Nutritive substances, oxygen, lymph, neurotransmitters, endorphins, hormones, etc
Protection from blood loss
Provide immunity
Regulation of core body temp and Phmassage effects for cardiovascular
Increased circulation of blood /lymph
Increased in delivery of essential substances
Increase in removal of waste products
Primary goal
Increase hyperemia
Decrease ischemia
Blood circulation increased to capillary beds
Beneficial for tissues,organs, cells of body
types of muscle tissue
cardiac- smooth-skeletal
CONTRACTILITY
Ability of muscles to shorten and produce work
Excitabilidade
Muscle fibers capable of forceful response from impulse
Extensibility
Muscles can stretch 1.5 X their resting length
Elasticity
Return of muscle to resting length after stretch or contraction
SKELETAL MUSCLE
myofibril/fiber wrapped in endomysium
Bundles of myofibrils then make fascicles
