Chapter 14 Flashcards
Involves the use of specific focused techniques, when applied properly, reduce reported signs and symptoms and improve function.
Clinical massage
Connective tissue containing a ground substance.
Fascia
Fascia relatively thin and more pliant and elastic.
Sol State
Fascia thicker, more gelatinous and inflexible and can restrict
Gel State
Produces body movements, stabilizes body positions and produces heat via contractions.
Muscle
Localized abnormal sustained muscle contraction. Space may or may not cause pain causes fine motor movement gross motor movements postural a symmetry injury inactivity disease and disorders
Spasm
Localized areas of hyper irritability may refer to sensations to other areas of the body will press are found in the muscle tendon fascia ligament and or pierce them
Triggerpoints
Point causes pain even at rest
Active trigger points
Point goes unnoticed by the client until pressure is applied
Latent triggerpoints
The bodies constant migration toward physiological balance
Homeostasis
Usually the result of trauma duration varies depending upon the condition has a recognizable cause characterized by severe symptoms such as swelling localized redness and loss of function
Acute pain
Protection, rest, ice, compression, and elevation
Price
Persists for longer period of time than expected for the condition usually results from multiple Injury or illness or in complete recovery from either
Chronic pain
Lies between acute and chronic pain client appears clinically well no sign such as swelling or localize heat but is experiencing pain and discomfort
Subacute pain
Evaluation, conditioning, maintenance
Stages of rehabilitation
The first stage of rehabilitation
begin 72 hours after the injury
obtain physician clearance before treatment on a client
never massage during acute phase when is the swelling eliminate spasm and trigger point activity and address faulty body mechanics
First stage of rehabilitation
Evaluation
Restores flexibility and strength to muscles and joints and rebuild endurance
Second stage conditioning
Address diet, stress and emotional well-being
Third stage maintenance
The bodies position in space such as sitting standing lying supine and lying prone
Posture
A persons walking or running pattern
Gait
Working to deep or working too long
The most common mistake therapist make one working on injured tissue
Pre-event, inter-event, and post events
Stages of sports massage
Focuses on increasing circulation and flexibility timeframe of 10 to 15 minutes
Pre-event
Occurs between games or events massages with moderate pressure problem areas are just generally
Inter-event
Occurs 30 minutes to six hours after the event goal is to reduce soreness and promote faster recovery time
Post-event
