International Classification of

(ICF)-shows an ongoing interaction
between a person, wellness and his
environment
define wellness massage
when the client does not present with impairments on body functions or structures instead they wish to enhance certain structures/functions
is PTSD considered an anxiety disorder?
yes
what is apical breathing pattern?
most movement is in the upper chest
least efficient mechanism
in a stress reduction tx what are some contraindications
aggressive/stimulating techniques - tapotement
pressure on abdomen
stress is not a disease but can contribute to ill health
where does the fight or flight response rely on communication in
CNS
cerebral cortex
limbic system
thalamus
hypothalamus
reticular formation
reticular activating system (RAS)
what does the ANS do
regulate the internal functions of the body in order to maintain a consistent internal environment
ANS controls what
smooth muscle of visceral organs
arteries
veins
heart
glands
what is the ANS divided into
PNS
SNS
increase in firing = increased tone
decreased in firing = decreased tone
origin of massage from arabic “MASS” to touch or greek “messein” to knead
why choose side lying
pregnant women
access lateral upper leg/ITB area, adductors
scalenes, rotator cuff, pec minor, serratus anterior, QL’S , glut med/min
where do you place pillows for side lying
under clients head, between knees, one to hug and support chest
draping lines for side lying
iliac crest
greater trochanter
lateral iliac crest
prone draping lines
PSIS
greater trochanter
lateral iliac crest
supine draping lines
down to pec muscles, rise of breasts
should be space for one hand between clavicle and line of drape
what is centre of gravity
the average positions of a persons weight distribution
center of gravity is closest tp the area where most of the weight is located in your body
somewhere around the navel when standing upright
SHIFT BODY WEIGHT TO MOVE COG FORWARD
what is apical breathing
upper chest or apex of lungs are used to breath
ribs only move slightly lateral and abdomen hardly moves
stress breathing
what is paradoxical breathing
abdomen does not rise as they inhale
abdominal muscles do not relax which holds the viscera immobile
lateral rib motion and scalene muscles must compensate for the lack of motion
