|
Practical Applications for Effleurage
|
adapt the body to touch
apply lubricant begin & end massage of each region evaluate tissue transition between strokes massage over painful areas drain area after manipulations |
|
|
Physiological Effects of Effluerage
|
mechanically move fluids
improve local circulation relax muscles Produce superficial heat stretches muscle decreases/relieves pain |
|
|
Variations of Effluerage
|
Two-handed
hand-under-hand V-draining fanning & pulling nerve stroke |
|
|
Effluerage
|
a light or deep stroking, sliding, or gliding movement following the body contours
|
|
|
Petrissage
|
A gripping, lifting, stretching, squeezing, or rolling of the superficial tissues away from adjacent structures.
|
|
|
Variations of Petrissage
|
One-handed, two-handed bilateral, 2-handed unilateral (big C little c)
digital skin rolling wringing |
|
|
Physiological Effects of Petrissage
|
*relieves edem/swelling
*stretches tissues *helps prevent muscle stiffness *invigorates/revitalizes skin *reduces restrictions in fascia *enhance muscle tone * |
|
|
Friction
|
Compression of tissue against underlying structures
|
|
|
Variations of Friction
|
*Stationary (trigger point)
*Linear (with the fibers) *Cross-fiber *Circular thumb |
|
|
Physiological Effects of Friction
|
*breaks up connective tissue adhesions
*seperates adhered fascial planes *spreads/stretches muscle & tendon fibers *reduces muscle tension *generates superficial heat *improves local circulation *relieves pain via the pain gate theory |
|
|
Vibration
|
a rhythmic shaking, trembling, or jostling of tissue of a body part.
|
|
|
Variations of Vibration
|
*stationary
*traveling *traction vibration *jostling |
|
|
Physiological Effects of Vibration
|
*relaxes muscles
*loosens superficial tissue *soothes and sedates *stimulates synovial fluid *relieves pain via pain gate theory |
|
|
Gymnastics
|
moving a body part through its normal range of motion.
|
|
|
Physiological Effects of Gymnastics
|
*Increases flexibility
*neuromuscular re-education *Increase movement of fluids *reduces muscle guarding *loosens fascial adhesions |
|
|
PROM (passive range of motion)
|
client allows the practioner to safely perform the movement for the client, taking it through the complete ROM
|
|
|
Active-Assistive Range of Motion
|
A)visualizing or mentally thinking about the movement
B)actual muscular contraction to perform the movement as best as possible w/ assistance to complete ROM |
|
|
AROM
Active-Unassisted Range of Motion |
client engages muscle to perform movement as best as possible, without assistance from the practioner
|
