Q

concern with long hot application

A

A short hot applicationstimulates the circulation and metabolism similariy, but if the heat is prolonged, the circulation is depressed to a point which may nos bi able to adequately support the increased metabolism.

Q

how to do cold water treading

A

Fill your bathtub up to just above your ankles or just below your calves. Carefully get in the tub and holding on to a fixed bar or grip, march in the water for 5 seconds to 5 minutes. If you do not have anything secure to hold on to, sit at the edge of the bath and march while sitting for the same amount of time.

22
Q

water temperature fro cold water treading

A

50 degrees (cool) Farenheit

23
Q

cold water treading benefits

A

increase circulation, and help build up resistance to infections.

good technique for leg cramping or leg pain that comes from exertion

24
Q

when not to use cold water treading

A

Do not use either technique if there is rheumatism of toes and/or ankles, sciatica, cystitis, pelvic inflammation, or irritable bowel

25
Q

dry skin brushing

A

stimulates your skin and sloughs off dead skin cells.

function of the skin: external support of the body, regulation of body temperature, protection of the body and elimination of wastes

It is great for the skin, bringing increased circulation to the surface and helping to keep the skin toned.

26
Q

how to do dry skin brushing

A

A skin massaging brush or a loofah is used for this technique. Standing in your bathtub start brushing from the feet upward. Your feet should be warm to begin with.

Then do figure 8s to your chest. Then do your right arm and your left. If you can, do your back to finish.

takes 3-5mins

27
Q

when is dry skin brushing most effective

A

n the morning right before you take your shower

28
Q

caution for dry skin brushing

A

do every 2-3 days so not dependent on the stimulus

29
Q

underwater brush massage

A

hot bath (same brush strokes as dry brushing)

do for 5 mins and then rest in bath for another 5-10 mints

finish with cold shower or cold affusion

30
Q

effects of underwater brush massage

A

The effects are the same as dry brushing but stronger and more intense due to the hydrostatic pressure of the bath water.

31
Q

knee affusion

A

can be done by itself or to end a hot bath or shower. If you have a stationary shower head you will have to acquire a hose to do this particular treatment. The calf is affused to just above the knee.

32
Q

purpose of knee effusion

A

eliminates feelings of tiredness in the feet and legs. It helps tighten up the connective tissue of the legs. You can use it with varicose veins but not in the case of phlebitis or thrombosis. By its derivation effect it can decrease head congestion, tension headaches, migraine and cold symptoms presenting in the nose and throat. It is stimulating to the circulation.

33
Q

how to do knee affusion

A

nRight foot ® over the toes over the side of the foot to the heel ® slowly up the calf to the popliteal fossa, lingering slightly above it and paying attention that the water is spread equally over the calf.
nRepeat this on the left leg, but on reaching the left popliteal fossa ® the right popliteal fossa for a few moments ® the left popliteal fossa ® then to the calf
® then back down to the heel.
nFront of the right lower leg, beginning at the toes ® up to above
the kneecap.
nFront of the left leg ® the right knee for a few moments ® the left
knee ® down the left leg to the left heel. nAVOID directly affusing the tibia

33
Q

what to avoid in knee affusion

A

avoid directly affusing the tibia

34
Q

what are epsom salts

A

High magnesium content promotes release of lactic acid, a principle waste product of muscle tissue metabolism

35
Q

epsom salt baths

A

This type of bath releases toxins and metabolic waste through perspiration. It is really beneficial after a massage as it enhances and lengthens the effects of the massage.

36
Q

what conditions to avoid epsom salt baths in

A

It is very stimulating and therefore people with high blood pressure and severe varicose veins should avoid it.

37
Q

how to do epsom salt bath

A

Addtwocups–1kgofsaltstoahotbath (38 to 44 degrees C). Soak for approximately 15 to 20 minutes. While in the bath wrap a cool collar around your neck (use a hand towel for this dipped in cold water) and drink several glasses of fresh water to replace the lost fluids from your body. Keep a plastic pitcher and plastic glass beside the bath for this purpose. When finished let the water drain completely out of the tub, get up carefully, and cool your body down with either a cool shower or a cold cloth/sponge bath starting in both cases from the feet up.

38
Q

warming socks

A

2 pairs of socks, 1 thin cotton, 1 thick wool

  • Cold water
  • Procedure:
  • Drench thin cotton socks in cold water. Wring out as much water as possible.
  • Put damp cotton socks on warm dry feet. Cover with thick wool (dry) socks.
  • Go to bed and on waking feet will be warm and dry!
39
Q

cold water treading use

invigorating treatment for achy legs commonly experienced by runners or individuals who stand on the feet for long periods of time.

also very helpful for the following conditions:
 Exhaustion, weakness
 Hot feet during the summer
 Insomnia
 Nervousness
 Poor circulation, such as cold feet
 Upper respiratory congestion (lungs,
nasal passages, sinuses)
 Varicose veins
 Weak ankles

40
Q

when not to use cold water treading

A

 Rheumatoid arthritis of the ankles or toes
 Sciatica
 Pelvic inflammation
 Irritable bladder or rectum
Caution – individuals who have issues with balance.

41
Q

hot local applications

A
  • Vasodilation
  • Tissue relaxation
  • Increased metabolism * Reduces pain*
42
Q

cold local applications

A
  • Vasoconstriction
  • Tissue tightening/toning
  • Reduced inflammatory response
  • Reduces pain*
43
Q

hot whole body application

A
  • Vasodilation
  • Warms tissues
  • Tissue relaxation * … and more
44
Q

cold whole body applications

A

*Vasoconstriction/vasodilation * Cools tissues
* Tissue tightening/toning
… and more

45
Q

neutral

A
  • Approx 35-37 degrees C (95-98.6 degrees F)
  • ‘Neither warm nor cold’
  • ‘Physiologic zero’ – minimal sensory input –> relaxation
46
Q

treatment duration

short cold vs long cold

A

short= <1min
long= >1 min

47
Q

treatment duration

short hot vs long hot

A

short= < 5 min
long= >5 mins

48
Q

neutral treatment duration

A

duration important to modify intensity

49
Q

risks of hot

A
  • Fainting
  • Burns
  • Circulatory issues
  • Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus
50
Q

risks of cold

A
  • Cold intolerance
  • E.g. cold hives, rheumatoid arthritis, Raynaud’s
  • asthma
51
Q

contrast therapy

A
  • Contrast amplifies the effects of the hot treatment
    –* Increases blood flow to the area
    –* Can reduce pain
    –* Can increase energy
  • Pumping effect
