A massage technique can produce multiple therapeutic effects. These effects may occur:
1) ___________ - only on the site of manipulation
2) __________ - throughout the patient’s body

False: Any given massage technique produces multiple effects.
The application and __________ of the techniques will impact their effects.
Sequencing
These are direct effects. They are caused by physically moving the tissues by compression, tension (stretch), shearing, bending, or twisting.
Mechanical effects
What are three examples of the mechanical effects of massage?
Increased lymphatic return
Mobilized bronchial secretions
Decreased unnecessary muscle resting tension
These are indirect effects of massage; functional change is mediated by the nervous system.
Reflex effects.
What are three examples of the reflex effects of massage?
Sedation
Stimulation/awakening
Facilitation of smooth muscle contraction
These effects of massage involve a change in biochemical body processes.
Physiological effects
What are two examples of the physiological effects of massage?
Improved modeling of connective tissue
Reduced muscle spasm
