M1T1 Final Flashcards
Direct myofascial techniques
Soft tissue
MFR
Indirect myofascial techniques
MFR
Ligamentous articular strain(release)
Goal of MF techniques
MUSCLE/FASCIAL DYSFUNCTION
Relax spastic muscles
Stretch - which will improve ROM and increased efficiency of the msklsk
Change regulation of intrafascial mechano/re
Increase articulately free play
What are the 4 fasciae mechanoreceptors
Golgi organs
Large panini corpuscles
Ruffini organs
Interstitial MF receptors
if you increase ruffini what is inhibited
Sympathetic activity
Where are golgi organs and what do they do
In muscle tendons
It makes sure we don’t rip our muscle from the bone or have too much stress. It does this by inhibiting interneurons
Where are Pacini receptors and what do they do
They’re in theinvesting muscular tissues
Detect rapid pressure changes - fast vibrations. This helps us understand proprioceptive feedback
What do free nerve endings do
Touch and pressure
Where are ruffini receptors and what do they do
Ligaments, dura mater, stretching muscles
For pressure and joint rotation
Where are interstitial type III and IV and what do they do
Found everywhere
50% are high threshold, 50% are low
Change vasodilation and plasma extravasation
2nd goals for MF techniques
Vascular, neural, lymphatic
Increase circulation
Increase venous drainage
Increase lymph drainage
Improve ROM
3rd goals fro MF techniques
Decrease abnormal somato-visceral reflexing
Make other techniques easier to perform (like HVLA)
Stimulate stretch reflexes in hypotonic muscles
What do myofascial techniques generate
Heat
Balanced ligamentous tension
All tissues put in the ease
Balanced membranous tension
Dural membranes
