what is the main objective in deep kneading?
|
to work the muscles
|

by alternate and intermittent grasping or compressing the tissues against the underlying bony surfaces
|

|
|
which type of kneading has one major action - to work on muscle rigidity.
|
chucking
|
|
which type of kneading inadvertently acts powerfully upon both blood vessels and nerves related to "poison-laden tissue juices" being found in the muscles?

chucking
|
|
what is the definition of chucking?

firmly grasp the fleshy portion (muscle belly) forming a C shape with the hand transversely to the muscle fibers, first drag the muscle tissue upward then downward following the axis of the extremeties. Rate of movement is 2-6 times.

2. sleeplessness 3. nervous irritability 4. hyperaesthesia 5. paraesthesia |
|
what are the physiological effect of pressure?
|
1. venous blood and lymph vessels are emptied

where did Kellogg apply pressure?
|
the head, joints, and swollen or irritated parts
|
|
what are motor points?
|
where the motor nerve enters the muscle

|
|
what are physiological effects of nerve compression?
|
stimulative
sedative |

|
|
what are therapeutic applications of knuckle stroking?
|
1. numbness, paraesthesia
2. neurasthenic pain |
|
light friction over a deep organ diminishes blood supply and increases activity of the overlying vessels? True or false
|
True
|
|
light friction diminishes and kneading increases blood supply in the area... true or false
|
true
|
|
what are the physiological effects of kneading?
|
stimulate all the vital activities of the part acted upon
blood and lymph vessels are emptied and fresh blood is drawn into the part temperature increases and hyperemia is noted kneading acts more powerfully than any other procedure in the heat making process |
