  • Front
  • Back
A skilled professional touch applied with intelligence, control and purpose. It is simple but capable of producing specific physiological effects.
Touch
Thumb, or the whole or part of the palmar surface of the hand is moved over the surface with considerable pressure and the rate varies from 30-180/min. never so much pressure that the hand does not slip easily over the surface or interferes with the arterial blood flow.
Friction
Touch combined with motion. Any fingertips or palmar surface of one or both hands is moved gently over the skin with light contact. Movement not more than 1-2 inches / second. One direction only following arterial blood flow.
Stroking
Fine vibratory or shaking movements communicated to the body through the hand of the therapist. One or both hands may be placed against the surface, or may grasp some part of the patient.
Vibration.
Consists essentially of the application of alternate and intermittent compression, by grasping and squeezing the tissues or by compressing the tissues against underlying bony surfaces. The hand does not slip along the surface. Kellogg says this is the best procedure for producing alternate effects” (change).
Kneading
Acts on joints and muscles. Principle movements are : flexion/ extension; abduction/adduction; supination/ pronation; circumduction/ stretching.
Joint Movements
Consist of blows administered in various ways and with varying degrees of force. Two hands are used in alternation with movements from the wrist.
Percussion
Limb grasped by both hands which make an alternate wringing/twisting movement, sliding from distal to proximal.
Circular friction
Limb is grasped by both hands a wringing or twisting movement is executed by the hands either simultaneously in the same direction, or in alternation. Movement is from proximal to distal. Hands to not slide over skin.
Wringing
Limb is supported by one hand while the other firmly grasps the fleshy portion and drags is first upward and then downward in the direction of the long axis of the limb.
Chucking
Lightly touching a part of the body.
Passive touch
Either light or strong pressure is made on a nerve trunk at some point in its course, usually on a “motor point”.
Nerve compression
Some part of the hand slides firmly over the skin in the direction of venous blood flow or “toward the heart”. Primary purpose: to increase blood and lymph circulation.
Centripetal Friction
Some part of the hand slides firmly over the skin in the direction of the arterial blood flow, or “ away from the heart” primary purpose: sedation (slow down blood flow).
Centrifugal friction
Tips of fingers (one finger to all fingers) are moved gently and slowly over the skin in one direction only.
Digital stroking.
Knuckles of the second joint of the fist are moved slowly over the surface and mainly on the back.
Knuckle stroking
Motion of the joint. Done by the therapist without any effort on the part of the patient. Effects mainly joints.
Passive joint movements
Percussion movements to special area, causing a reflex arc through the spinal cord. End result is muscle contraction “somewhere else”.
Reflex Percussion
Gentle stroking with the fingernail, or some other small, hard object. Develops “skin”(cutaneous) reflexes. Produces muscular contraction as the result of the formation of a reflex through the spinal cord.
Reflex stroking
Touch combined with motion. Done with palmar surface of hands.
Palmar stroking
Consists of making light or heavy pressure with one or both hands or with one or more fingers, on the head, a joint, or some part of the body.
(touch) Pressure
The muscles are grasped by a large portion of the palmar surface of the hand. The parts are squeezed and compressed and lifted from the bone or underlying tissues, rolled and stretched in an upward direction (from the point of insertion), and released when strain is greatest. Rate of movement is 30-90/min. and is distal to proximal.
Petrissage
The heel of the hand or the whole palmar surface compresses the tissues against the underlying structures. Greatest force can be obtained by using heel of hand only. Usually done using hands in alteration.
Palmar kneading
Palmar surface of the hand is placed on the surface and moved, laterally and rapidly, to and fro. No slipping over the skin; fingertips alone may be used for small areas.
Lateral vibration.
Palm of hand or closed fist is placed firmly on the surface. Arm is held straight and a fine jarring or trembling movement is done by the action of the flexor and extensor muscles of the upper arm. No slipping over the surface.
Deep vibration
End of thumb or one or more fingers is placed on the part of the arm of the therapist is thrown into violent vibrations, communicating the vibration to the client. No slipping over the skin.
Digital vibration
The head or a limb is grasped firmly by the therapist and is shaken with a rapid vibratory movement.
Shaking
A form of percussion in which the tips of the fingers alone are used.
Tapping
A form of percussion in which the ulnar border of the hand comes in contact with the skin.
Hacking
A form of percussion in which the whole hand is shaped to entrap air as it comes in contact with the skin, producing an “explosive effect” and a loud sound.
Cupping/ clapping
Percussion with the palmar surface of the extended fingers, which are held rigid.
Slapping/ spatting
The body is struck by the palmar surface of a half closed fist: the dorsal surface of the terminal phalanges of the fingers and the heel of the hand alone coming in contact with the body.
Beating
Hand moves slowly over the skin from distal to proximal in a spiral movement. Done on arms and legs.
Spiral friction
The hands move over a broad surface in an elliptical circular or semicircular movement. Especially applicable to broad fleshy areas.
Rotary Friction
A class of kneading in which various subclasses are utilized to deeply compress and stretch the tissue.
Deep kneading
The skin is grasped between thumb and one or two fingers and lifted from the underlying bone or muscle, being released when the strain is the greatest. Hands are used in alteration. Name all three
Pincer, Fulling, superficial kneading.
These movements help a weak patient reconnect the body/mind neural pathways. They are done by the therapist so the patient ahs the impression that he/she is doing the movement. Ideally this will help both joints and muscles.
Assistive joint movement
Involves either the patient or the therapist initiating a movement and the other resisting that movement, allowing it to gradually be completed. Affects both joints and muscles.
passive resistive joint movement
The knuckles of the fist are moved slowly over the skin making a vigorous vibratory movement.
knuckle vibration
One or both palms move slowly over the skin with a fine trembling movement.
superficial vibration
The ends of the fingers or thumbs run and press tissues against underlying bony surfaces.
digital kneading
Compression of the deep tissues by the knuckles of the fist. Used only on the abdomen, along the colon.
knuckle kneading
Tissues are compressed against the deep-lying structures, and rolled by a to and fro movement with the fingers extended and held close together. Rate is 200-400/min.
rolling
Percussion applied at motor points. One finger is pressed against the point and that hand is tapped or hacked by the other hand.
