Final Review (jeopardy) Flashcards
what static method is used to relieve pain, decrease anxiety, and hypersensitiveness?
superficial touch/resting position
hyperesthesia, insomnia, and anxiety can be relieved by these static and gliding techniques?
superficial touch, resting position, and feather stroking
what technique is known for relieving a headache?
deep touch
what gliding method is primarily known for mechanically moving blood and lymph through superficial vessels, thus increasing circulation?
deep gliding
nerve compression is helpful for paralysis when applied this way…
light and intermittent
inactive skin, adhesions, and poor peripheral circulation are all conditions to apply to this technique
friction
what technique causes a therapeutic inflammation in the body, and great for reducing fibrosis?
cross-fiber friction
unlike kneading, friction has what reflexive effect?
heat dissipation (elimination)
this is a reason to apply strokes briskly and invigorating, such as friction…
to stimulate and increase circulation before a sporting event
chucking is considered to have this type of effect on the body when releasing rigid muscles
mechanical effect
along with strong percussion, this torsion method produces heat in the body
kneading
this torsion method is great for assessment and releasing adhesions in the superficial tissue
skin rolling
this is kneading’s primary effect in the body
increased circulation
kneading along with this technique are good applications to reduce swelling and promote lymph circulation
deep gliding
this is why kneading, vibration, and light nerve compression can be helpful in paralyzed limbs
increasing stimulating neural connections
