Hellerwork
A combination of movement reeducation and muscle and connective tissue therapy.
Tsubo
Japanese word for acupoints.
State-dependent memory
A state-dependent memory cannot be simply "remembered" at will; the entire memory is attached to a specific stimulus "cue" (such as an odor or a song) and can be recovered only when that stimulus is presented again. A position or certain pressure in a certain spot can also trigger such memory.
Geriatric
This is a client population that is comprised of those 70 years old and above.
Percussive Strokes
These strokes, such as hacking, cupping and plucking, are used to stimulate areas, improve circulation, and release muscle tension. They can be used on the shoulders, arms, legs, buttocks, and gently along the back.
Bow stance
A common stance used in doing massage work to help provide proper body mechanics to the practitioner. The front leg is bent like a bow pointing in the direction of movement and the rear leg is stretched like a bowstring. Also known as lunge position.
Polarity
It asserts that energy fields exist everywhere in nature, and that the flow and balance of this energy in the human body is the underlying foundation of health.
Wringing
Start with hands placed either side of the body or limb. Moving the hands in a forward and back motion across the body, progress slowly up toward the head.
Amma/Anma
It comes from the Chinese tradition of massage, "anmo." This form of bodywork is based on the principles of Chinese medicine and is more than 5,000 years old. When anmo was brought to Japan, the technique was further refined into its own therapeutic art form, amma.
Pediatric
Refers to the population between 3 and 18 years of age.

Countertransference
A therapist who has not dealt sufficiently with personal subconscious thoughts and emotions may react involuntarily to the thoughts and emotions projected by the client that trigger his/her own needs and conflicts.
