What is Physiological effects of Massage Massage methods use external sensory info to either stimulate or inhibit General-fast specific applications = stimulates:Slow, specifice applications-Inhibits:Combined can be relaxing
how do these restore us to homeostatis puts us in balance: Our of balance, too much or not enough. Muscle is too short or too long. Connective tissues can be too soft, hard, thick, thin circulation rushing flow, sluggish flow:Nervous System, over under-active.Hyper-Hypo
Effects: Mechanical Manipulation/Techniques mechanical changes soft tissue, realigns fibers, makes it more pliable alters structure. Stretch pull
Effects: Reflexive Manipulation/Techniques stimulates the nervous systems(nerve endings) compression, stay within the skin, move the body, move through the skin and underlying tissue
Effects: Chemical Manipulation/Techniques Stimulates the release of endorphens and other body chemicals. Rocking stimulates the bodys Vestibular system(Balance) controlled by inflammatory response(scar tissue breakup)
COmponents of massage manipulations deep pressure, drag(amount of pull on tissue) slow and deep stroke amount of glide in lubricant
Direction centrifugal- from center out direction centripetal-from extremities towards center(distal to proximal) efferage=with the fiberstransverse=against the fibers/across: circular
