neurological, physical and physiological effects Flashcards
why do we need massage?
for stress and for rehab
what are some physical effects of massage?
increase in ROM - muscle lengthening of the tissue
change in blood pressure
deep techniques
change in heart rate
change in muscle tonicity
reduction of trigger point sensitive
creating a muscle pump
what are some physiological effects of massage?
change in metabolism
proprioception - post exercise-induced muscle damage
generate lines of stress to encourage correct collagen disposition
creating an interstitial pump
reduction of trigger point sensitivity
what are some neurological effects of massage?
decrease in neuromuscular activity
decrease in neurological transmutation speed
massage post-exercise induced muscle damage can aid in proprioception
stimulation of the pain gate principle for analgesia
