16
Q

effects of massage on the sensory nervous system

A

Gait control theory: different maneuvers stimulate touch and pressure receptors present on the skin and soft tissue
counter irritant effect:some massage maneuvers also produce mild to moderate pain by stimulation of painful areas in the body its said that it facilitate the secretion of certain anti pain substances such as B endorphin and enkephalin

17
Q

effect of massage on motor nervous system

A

pressure over muscle activates muscle spindle by distorting shape
cutaneous stimulation by quick light brushing
inhibitory petrissage or massage in which ms are kneaded can exert inhibitory effect on motor neurons
effleurage produce both stimulating and relaxing effect

18
Q

effect of massage on autonomic nervous system

A

regulate heart rate
increase cardiac output
regulate blood pressure
improve skin condition
enhance therapeutic status of the part that is massaged
