Body Systems Flashcards
Lymphatic drainage
Increases the removal of waste from body by stimulating lymphatic drainage and blood flow
Increases metabolic rate, digestion and urine out-put
Circulatory System
Increases blood circulation, increasing the metabolism of cells by brining fresh oxygenated blood supply
Erythema may be present meaning the blood supply has been stimulated
Muscular System
Stimulates muscles using petrissage movements, helps remove tension from muscles by removing waste by increasing blood and lymphatic flow
Nervous System
Light effleurage movements sooth sensory nerve endings whole tapotment movements stimulate nerve endings
Frictions over an area will stimulate nerve endings in specific areas, creates a temp increase in muscle tone which dissipates leaving muscle tone more relaxed
