MESSAGE THERAPY HIGH YIELD Flashcards
what is the goal of message therapy?
improve flow of blood and lymph
reduction of muscular tension
affect NS
enhance tissue healing
effects of message therapy?
placebo relaxation increase blood flow increase lymph flow invigorate decrease pain decrease neuromuscular excitability
what are the indications of message therapy?
increase venous return
break pain-spasm-pain cycle
system relaxation
what are the contraindications of message therapy?
acute injuries
open lesions and infections
fracture
trigger points that affect respiratory, renal and hepatic conditions
increase risk of re-injury
+
decrease range of motion
=_____
scar tissue
muscle injury tissue progression?
pre-injury, healthy tissue
injured, strained tissue
healed, scar tissue
trigger point results in?
pain
spasm
pain cycle
what is the effect of trigger point stimulation?
over stimulated
difficulty to relax muscle fiber
what causes tigger points?
repetitive overuse
sustained loading
poor posture
what is a trigger point technique?
direct pressure of 3o seconds and repeat 3x with deep massage strokes
what are the trigger point treatment goals?
reduce pain
increase ROM
decrease stiffness and tension
common trigger points?
medial and lateral gastroc FDL FHL Posterior/Anterior tibialis peroneals fibularis longus, brevis, tertius
function of fascia?
physical structure reduce friction shock absorber movement facilitator supportive and protective environment adaptable
causes of myofasical and trigger point pathology?
age and injury increased density and inability to slide trauma infection over/underuse ischemia
how does myofascial release work?
how?
stroke and stretching to:
relax
release
restore
j stroke
rolling tech
focused stretch
what does myofascial release allow?
for how long?
decreased pain
increase function like mobility and flexibility
90-120 seconds minimum
for prompt lymph drainage, how do we do this?
prompt lymph drainage
Jt mobilization purpose?
reduce pain via gate control theory
re establish normal biomechanics
function movement for normal ROM
what is joint mobilization performed on? how?
synovial joint
assess patients via physiologic and accessory movement
what is a convex joint surface?
arched, rounded
what is a concave joint surface?
shallow, hallowed
name this joint surface:
convex static
concave moves
JT movement in same direction
rolls and glides insame direction
concave-convex
name this joint surface:
concave fixes
convex moves
JT movement in opposite direction
rolls and fluids in opposite direction
convex-concave
indications for arthrokinematic roll?
increase blood flow
removes inflammatory exudate
maintenance of healthy articular cartilage
contraindications for arthrokinematic roll?
cancer
infectious arthritis
bone disease
precautions for arthrokinematic roll?
excessive pain, swelling
athroplasty
pregnancy
factors to consider when used JT mobilization technique?
application method position -patient -clinician grade -1-4 amplitude rhythm duration expected response
