Q

what are the seven physiological effects?

A
  • improves circulation and lymphatic flow
  • assist in removal of waste products
  • sedate or stimulate nerve endings
  • increase or decrease muscle tone
  • increase or decrease muscle length
  • remodel scar tissue
  • psychological effects e.g., relaxation, stress, mental prep for sport

Q

what circulatory factors does a massage replenish? what does it remove?

A
  • oxygen and nutrients
  • removes waste e.g., inflammatory products and chemical irritants

Q

what are the two muscle effects of a massage? what is reduced?

A
  • reduces muscle soreness (post injury or post exercise)
  • reduces muscle tension and spasm
17
Q

how is pain reduced?

A
  • reduced due to pain gate theory where endorphins are stimulated and released
    e.g., serotonin, dopamine
18
Q

what is the gate in dorsal horn of spine called?

A
  • called pain gate
  • receives sensory information and passes it onto the brain region
19
Q

what happens to fibres during massage?

A
  • non painful fibres are stimulated and blocks the transmission of painful fibres being sent
20
Q

what do non painful fibres send information about? what do they do?

A
  • information about touch
  • these excite the interneuron which inhibits the pain signal and closes to the pain gate
21
Q

what are the pain effects? (3)

A

+ increased circulation> reducing noxious stimuli
+ positive mood
+ promotes relaxation > stress reduction

22
Q

what are the contraindications of massage?

A
  • massage over open wound
  • malignant tumour presence
  • inadequate blood supply
  • acute injuries, haematoma
  • fractures
  • skin conditions: burns, infections
  • suspected DVT ( deep vein thrombosis)
23
Q

what are the cautions of massage?

A
  • fragile skin
  • circulation disorders
  • patients with heart problems; chest and neck not massage, care taken with thoracic spine
  • osteoporosis
24
Q

what are the four massage techniques?

A
  • effleurage
  • stroking
  • friction
  • petrissage
25
Q

what is effleurage?

A
  • stroke pressure towards heart and lymph distal to proximal
26
Q

what does effleurage remove?

A
  • removes chemical irritants
26
Q

what is stroking?

A
  • proximal to distal
  • increases flow to superficial muscles
27
Q

what is friction?

A
  • pressure applied through fingertips to increase circulation and release tight areas
28
Q

what is petrissage?

A
  • increases mobility between surface interface by compressing soft tissue
29
Q

what are the three types of petrissage?

A
  • kneading
  • wringing
  • picking up
30
Q

what is kneading?

A
  • circular motions
  • hands in opposite directions going proximal to distal
31
Q

what is wringing?

A
  • tissue compressed by pushing one hand away and one hand towards
32
Q

what is picking up?

A
  • compress and scoop tissue to end feel
