Foam rolling

24
Q

What are the massage techniques for Piriformis Syndrome?

A

Cross fibre techniques onto gluteus maximus
NMT onto piriformis
STR onto piriformis

25
Q

What is Patellofemoral Syndrome?

27
Q

What are the symptoms of Patellofemoral Syndrome?

A

Anterior pain in knee joint and medial border of patella
Pain going down stairs, sitting to standing, squatting

Sometimes swelling

28
Q

What is the treatment for Patellofemoral Syndrome?

A

Correct underlying cause

29
Q

What are the massage techniques for Patellofemoral Syndrome?

A

Massage techniques into quads:
Effleurage, pétrissage, deep frictions, myofascial release, STR and NMT

30
Q

What is Iliotibial Band Syndrome (Runners Knee)

A

Inflammation of the ITB as it moves over the lateral femoral condyle

Ober test for ITB will establish if tension in lateral tissues

34
Q

How can ITB syndrome be treated?

A

Address cause
Foam rolling
Self-stretching of hip abductors

35
Q

What massage techniques can be used for ITB syndrome?
