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
vibration and percussion are initially considered to have this reflexive effect on the nervous system
stimulating effect
these techniques are great to apply to the back when your client has respiratory congestion
hacking and cupping
to the muscle, vibration can cause this reflexive effect
muscle contraction
apply percussion this way if wanting to cause vasodilation and sedation to an area
strong and prolonged
in this category, this technique is best at producing a calming and sedative effect to the body
rocking
this technique can elongate muscle and decompress the spine
traction
muscle tension, decrease ROM, chronic sprains, chronic synovitis are all reasons to apply this technique
joint movement
when applying joint movement and any other technique to a client with an acute injury, we should apply the technique like this
derivatively (proximal to effected areas)
this is why joint movements have such a profound effect on circulation
blood and lymph vessels are largest in joints
what does RICE stand for?
rest, ice, compress, elevate
what is RICE used for?
acute injuries and when massage is not indicated
massage increases circulation and increases elimination (good for urinary system), because of this massage could be harmful to the urinary system of a client has
kidney disease
when pertaining to the whole body, massage effects this
all body tissues
by increasing mental clarity, reducing anxiety, and promoting a sense of well being, massage is causing an effect on which level?
psychological level
like exercise, massage has this effect on the body
increases circulation, rate of heartbeat, increasing muscle tone, and depth of respiration
this is how massage causes a metabolic effect of the muscular system
increasing tissue respiration, ACh release, and electro-excitability
this system is reflexively effected by massage by assisting in healing of the skin, increasing waste removal, oil production, hair growth, etc
integumentary system
