Tappan Massage ch. 3

Effects and Benefits of Massage

TermDescription
effects of massage changes that occur in the body, mind, and emotions of the recipients durring a massage session
tissue repair process consisting of and inflamamation stage to stabilize the injured area, regeneration stage to restore the tissue structure, and remodeling stage for healthy scar formation
effects of massage on tissue enhance tissue repair and scar formation, improve connective tissue health, improve pliability of fascia, break adhesions and separate tissues
effects of massage on integumentars system stimulate sensory receptors in skin, increase superficial circulation, remove dead skin, add moisture with oil or lotion, increase sevaceous gland secretions, facilitate healthy scar formations
effects of massage on skeletal system promote good joint function, promote optimal joint flexibility and range of motion, promote proper skeletal alignment
effects of massage on muscular system "milk" metabolic wastes into venous and lymph flow, promote specific and general muscle relaxation, promote optimal body flexibility, relieve myofascial trigger points, release myofascial adhesions
effects of massage on nervous system stimulate parasympathetic nervous system, reduce pain through neural-gating mechanisms, sharpen body awareness
effects of massage on endocrine system release endorphins
effects of massage on cardiovascular system increase general and local circulation
lymphatic system and immunity increase lymph fluid and movement, improve immune function via stress reduction
effects of massage on respiratory system encourage diaphragmatic breathing, relax muscles of respiration, promotes good structural alignment and rib cage expansion
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
effects of massage on psychological health increase mental clarity, reduce anxiety, facilitate emotional release, promote feelings of general well being
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
histamine chemica that causes dilation of capillaries in areas of increased circulation
venous flow massage technique of effleurage towards the heart pushes blood and lymph through the veins toward the heart
venostasis condition in which the normal blood flow is slowed or halted can by caused my underactivity
effects of massage on blood pressure temporarily decreased for about 40 minuites after massage
effects of massage on red blood cells increase the munber of circulating red blood cells, thereby increasing the oxygen carrying capacity of blood
lymph viscous fluid that moves slowly through the lymphatic vessles, massage aids in improved lymph flow
immunity the resistance to injuries and disease caused by specific foreign chemical compounds and pathogens
respiratory system includes lungs and passegways leading to the lungs
digestive system consists of muscular tube call the digestive tract and accessory organds such as salivary glands, gall baldder, liver and pancreas
urinary system includes kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra
reproductive system not appropriate targets for massage
