MESSAGE THERAPY TERMS Flashcards
this therapy involves manipulating the soft tissues of the body with goal of:
- improve blood flow
- reduction fo muscular tension
- affects NS
- enhance tissue healing
message therapy
this theory operates on the notion:
stimulation of peripheral A beta fibers through massage can result in the inhibition of C fibers neurotransmission at the SG in the SC
gate control pain theory
well established painful point
trigger points
this fascia layer is directly under dermis?
superficial
this fascia layer connects membrane that sheaths muscles
deep
name this myofasical release technique
1 hand adhesion of stretch
J stroke
name this myofasical release technique
lift and separate skin from underlying tissue
rolling tech
name this myofasical release technique
heel of hand in area of restriction with other crossed and applies tension in the opposite direction, superficial and deep adhesion
focused stretch
this technique allows fascia to elongate and return to resting length
myofasical release
predictable limitations of jt movement when jt capsule is limiting structure
capsular patterns

new points 1 surface come in contact with other sources
only occurs when 2 its incongruent
roll
name this arthrokinematics:
1 surface slides/translates over another
2 surfaces are congruent and flat or congruent and curves (ice skater)
glide
name this arthrokinematics:
rotation around longitudinal axis
1 joint surface rotates around another
(top skinning)
