Q

What is Travell’s Energy deficit hypothesis of trigger points?

A
  1. Injury/trauma of muscle cause inflammatory cascade (interleukin, cytokines, lactic acid build up)
  2. Metabolites increase acidity (lower pH) increasing muscle spindle excitability
  3. Tonic, low grade muscle contraction -> can lead to trigger point

Speed
Duration
Discontinue

Q

Describe the traumatic hyperemia of transverse friction massage.

A
  1. Increases flow of blood which in turn removes the chemical irritants of inflammation
  2. Increased blood flow reduces venous congestion thus decreasing edema and pressure on pain sensitive structures

Q

Describe the pain relief from transverse friction massage.

A
  1. Stimulates type I and type II mechanoreceptors, producing presynaptic anesthesia
  2. Gate control theory

Q

Describe scar massage

caution -

A

Similar technique to transverse cross friction massage (perpendicular to scar) except not as much pressure
caution - ensure incision is clean, dry, intact prior to performing

Q

What is the purpose of scar massage?

A

Purpose - to stimulate collagen to lay down scar tissue appropriately (avoid hypertrophic and keloid scars), maintain scar mobility, and desensitize scars as needed

19
Q

Which fascia layer is lying directly below the dermis?

A

Superficial

20
Q

Which fascia layer is surrounding and infusing with muscle, bone, nerve, blood vessels, and organs to the cellular level?

A

Deep

21
Q

What is the theory behind the need for myofascial release?

A

o Strains to deep fascia results in slow tightening of the fascia; these fascial restrictions eventually lead to postural impairments

22
Q

Myofascial Release Purpose:

A

o Apply gentle sustained pressure to deep fascia to release restrictions and restore normal pain-free function

23
Q

After Myofascial Release patient may experience what?

A

Muscle soreness initially after treatment

24
Q

What are 4 types of myofascial releases?

A

o J stroke
o Vertical Stroke
o Transverse stroke
o Cross-hands technique

25
Q

What is ischemic compression?

A

Pressure applied to center of trigger point

26
Q

What is the theory of ischemic compression?

A
  • sustained pressure deprives trigger point of oxygen;
  • temporary blockage of circulation -> reactive hyperemia (blood rushes to area) that in turn reduces overall energy crisis and breaks pain cycle
27
Q

Duration of ischemic compression?

A

10-60 seconds

28
Q

If pain does not change during ischemic compression, what should clinician do?

A

if pain does not change may need to adjust the pressure or switch the technique

29
Q

What is the soft tissue mobilization effleurage?

A
  • Generally more superficial
  • Useful for initial assessment of superficial tissues
  • Gentle stroking applied to musculature
30
Q

Possible mechanism of effleurage?

A

mechanism in assisting venous and lymphatic drainage and reducing tension

31
Q

What is the technique of effleurage?

A
  • Strokes distal to proximal along the line of the body part being massaged
  • Employ whole body movement and firm contact
32
Q

What is the soft tissue mobilization petrissage used for?

A
  • Assist venous and lymphatic return
  • Assist fluid interchange
  • Increase mobility of underlying tissue
33
Q

Petrissage technique: Kneading

A

compressed against underlying structures

34
Q

Petrissage technique: Pulling/lifting

A

compressed then lifted and squeezed

35
Q

Petrissage technique: Wringing

A

tissues are lifted and squeezed with alternative hand pressure

36
Q

Petrissage technique: Rolling

A

tissues are lifted and rolled between fingers and thumbs (skin or muscle)

37
Q

What is retrograde? Technique? Intention?

A
  • Typically used to reduce edema
  • Use lotion
  • With sustained pressure go distally to proximally (move only in one direction)
  • Intention is to push the fluid back towards the lymphatic system and assist with edema control
38
Q

T/F Should always communicate with patient about techniques being used as well as elicit feedback often.

A

True

39
Q

What is the purpose of a cross friction massage?

Method?

A
  • maintain mobility within the soft tissue structures of ligament, tendon, and muscle
  • prevent adherent scars from forming
  • Proper alignment of tissues
  • Deep and transverse to tissue
40
Q

What is the theory behind myofascial release?

A

inappropriate fascial strain -> Strains to deep fascia results in slow tightening of the fascia -> these fascial restrictions eventually lead to postural impairments

41
Q

What is the purpose of myofascial release?

A

Applying gentle sustained pressure to deep fascia to release restrictions and restore normal pain-free function

42
Q

Name 4 types of myofascial release?

A
  1. j-stroke
  2. vertical
  3. transverse (when get to end, lift hands up and bring back to starting)
  4. cross hands (parallel to muscle fibers)
43
Q

Describe the theory behind ischemic massage?

How long do you hold?

A

Temporary blockage of circulation -> deprives the trigger point of oxygen, rendering them inactive and breaking the pain-spasm-pain cycle
hold - 10-60 seconds but can be applied for longer

44
Q

What is the purpose of general massage?

A
  1. Increase skin temperature and blood flow to the area
  2. promoting muscle relaxation.
  3. Assist venous and lymphatic return
45
Q

What are two types of general massage?

A
  1. effleurage

2. petrissage

46
Q

What are the __ types of petrissage?

A
  1. Kneading (use palms)
  2. Wringing (pulling and pushing tissue)
  3. Rolling (both hands in same direction at same time)
  4. Strumming (strum back and forth across muscle)
