| Question | Answer |
| Who is Hippocrates? | Father of Modern Medicine. Discussed "gently rubbing" a dislocated shoulder reduction to aid in healing. |
| Galen of Rome (129 - 199 AD) | wrote books on massage and movement therapy. |
| Who is William Beveridge? | Thought that the therapist should adjust the pressure to the client's symptoms and tissue health. |
| Who is Per Henrik Ling? | Turned Stockholm into a centre for therapeutic exercise, which was called medical gymnastics and massage therapy. By the end of the 19th century Swedish massage was internationally known. |
| Who is John Kellogg? | developed hydrotherapy. |
| Why do we need education standards? | The therapist has a responsibility to the public, to understand when maassage is safe and appropriate and when to refer. In depth training will allow the therapist to recognize contraindications and do no harm. |
| Empirical Method of research. | Used for the majority of human history. Based on observation and experience recorded by the senses. |
| Qualitative research | collected through open ended interviews, direct observation and documentation. |
| Scientific method | began in the 17th century. Expected that every form of treatment should be provable using this methodology. Based on systematic observation, measurement and experiment. |
| Quantitative Research | Hypothesis made, info observed or measured, and the result is expressed in terms of numbers to test the hypothesis. |
| What must the result of Quantitative research be? | Must be reproducible; it must not occur by chance or as a result of other explanations; specific result ( cause and effect) |
| What have effects of massage been based on? | much of the effects and effectiveness of massage techniques has been empirical, based on centuries of observation and experience. |
| How is the public seeing massage more recently? | Seeing Massage therapy not only as an alternative to traditional or allopathic medicine, but also as a respected therapeutic approach in its own right. |
| What does the profession find itself being asked more frequently? | To prove that massage works in medical terms. |
| What is Psychological factor? | How it felt. |
| What is physiological factor? | The function or the way things work. |
| What is anatomy? | Structure or how it is constructed. |
| What are the physiological effects of massage? | Mechanical effects - on adhesions and the vascular and lymphatic systems. Reflexive effects through the neurolgical systems -central, perepheral and autonomic systems. |
| Psychological effects of massage | Increased wll being that usually occurs with positive touch. |
| Massage and Pain Control | Massage is recognized as effective in reducing or managing pain. |
| Massage and Circulation | Massage has an effect on local blood flow. |
| What do the circulatory changes result from? | Mechanical effects on the vasculature, local release of vasodilators, circulatory changes resulting from reflex responses of the autonomic nervous system and changes in blood viscosity. |
| What has massage been known to clear from the body? | Clearance of metaboloic waste and by-products of tissue damage and inflammation, as well as the delivery of oxygen and nutrition to tissue cells through an increase in blood flow through the capillaries. |
| How does massage affect blood flow? | Through the local release of vasodilators. |
| Effects of superficial vs. deep massage. | Superficial massage does not affect circulation to muscles but deeper massage creates an "effective increase" in blood flow to muscles. |
| Massage and Blood Pressure | Several studies demonstrate that massage can reduce blood pressure. |
| Massage and the Lymph System | Compression empties the capilliaries, while decompression allows them to refill. |
| Ligament | Connects bone -> bone (sprain) |
| Tendon | Connects bone -> muscle (strain) |
| Strain | Heals faster because they have blood flow. |
| Sprain | Sprains are avascular = no blood flow. |
| Massage cannot: | no evidence has been found that massage can increase muscle tone or directly increase muscle strength or bulk. Will not directly decrease amount of cellulite or adipose tissue, not prevent muscular atrophy in denervated tissue. |

| What are the components of the Endocrine system? | Hormone producing glands (pineal gland, hypothalmus, pituitary gland, thymus, thyroid gland, parathyroid glands adrenal glands, pancreas, ovaries and testes. |
| What is the function of the Endocrine system? | Regulates body activities by releasing hormones, which are chemical messengers transported in blood from an endocrine gland or tissue to a target organ. |
| What are the components of the Cardiovascular system? | Blood, heart, and blood vessels. |
| What is the function of the Cardiovascular system? | Heart pumps blood through blood vessels; blood carries oxygen and nutrients to cells and carbon dioxide and wastes away from the cells and helps regulate acid - base balance. |

| Metabolism | The sum of all the chemical processes that occur in the body. |
| What are the phases of Metabolism? | catabolism and anabolism. |
| What is catabolism? | catabol = throwing down, ism = a condidtion. the breakdown of complex chemical cubstances into simpler components. |
| What is anabolism? | anabol = a raising up; the building up of complex chemical substances from smaller, simpler components. |
| Process of metabolism: | digestive processes catabolize (split) proteins in the food into amino acids. Amino acids then anabolize (build) new proteins that make up body structures. |
