🗑
|
||||

🗑
|
||||

🗑
|
||||
| effects of massage on respiratory system | digestion improved with relaxation, facilitate bowel movement
🗑
|
||||
| effects of massage on urinary system | enhance cirulation to kidneys, increase uriniary production and bladder tension
🗑
|
||||
| effects of massage on reproductive system | reproductive function is improved with relaxation, promote general breast health
🗑
|
||||
| effects of massage on growth and development | improve growth and develovement in infants
🗑
|
||||
| effects of massage on pain reduction | relieve muscle pain from muscle tention and poor circulation, deactivate myofascial trigger points, activate meural-gating mechanism, induce release of endorphins and enkephalins
🗑
|
||||
| effects of massage on stress reduction | trigger relaxation response
🗑
|
||||

🗑
|
||||
| thixotrophy | property of connective tissue where the tissue becomes more pliable and fluid when it is mobile and firmer when it is immobile
🗑
|
||||
| adhesions | formed when fascial tissue stick to each other imporperly causing impaired range of motion and inhibit cellular exchanges of nutrients and wastes
🗑
|
||||
| integumentary system | skin and its accessory structures such as hair, nails, and sebaceous and sweat glands
🗑
|
||||
| body awareness | enhanses a person's sense on integrity and wholeness and is important for good mental and emotioal health
🗑
|
||||
| skeletal system | includes bones of the skeleton, associated cartilage, ligaments, and other stabilizing connective tissure structures
🗑
|
||||
| muscular system | skeletal muscles, associated connective tissure (fascia and tendons), motor and sensory neurons related to movement
🗑
|
||||
| proprioceptors | important sensory neurons and monitor the movement and position of the body in space
🗑
|
||||
| under activity | disturbs balance by not providing enough pressure on veings and lymphatic vessels resulting in poor circulation
🗑
|
||||
| over activity | disrupts balance by not allowing suffient time inbetween contractions decreases inflow of nutirients, reduce circulation, and produce waste faster than it can be eliminated
🗑
|
||||
| hypertonic muscles | tense, tight muscles
🗑
|
||||
| sensory input | information sent to spinal cord from sensory receptors, massage increases the sensory input that leads to normalization of imbalances in tonicity
🗑
|
||||
| muscle relaxation | due to stimulatin of parasympathetic nervous system
🗑
|
||||
| muscle approximation | technique to reduce muscle tone where the therapist slowly and foricby draws the attachments of the muscle closer together, that decreases the stretch of the muscle spindles, useful in treating muscle spasms
🗑
|
||||
| origin and insertion technique | useful when working the belly of the musle is to painful, therapist performs friction (cross-fiber and with fiber) on attachments of the targeted muscle until the belly is relaxed and able to work
🗑
|
||||
| flexibility | degree of range of motion in a joint
🗑
|
||||
| posture | body alignment, it is the combined function of the muscular, skeletal, and nervous system
🗑
|
||||
| nervous system | controls swift responses like movement, contains brain, spinal cord and nerves
🗑
|
||||
| endocrine system | controls slower responses like metabolic rate
🗑
|
||||
| cardiovascular system | heart, blood vessels, and blood
🗑
|
||||
| hyperemia | increased local circulation in the skin and underlying connective tissue
🗑
|
||||
