Vibration Description |
Vibration is a rhythmic, oscillation movement of tissue or body part. Imparts a......
-Penetrating tremor - improves movement - rotation about the longitudinal axis of the body part Applied with the palm or fingertips held flat against the body. |
|
|
Vibration uses: |
-Penetrates to deeper, less accessible structures -Increase local circulatory potential -Decrease Pain - Increase visceral organ function -increase joint function |
|
|
Vibration Variations Coarse and Fine: |
Determined by period, intensity, duration or application, and tissue affected. |
|
|
Vibration Variations Static or Traveling: |
Applied in place, or with a glide.
|
|
|
Vibration Variations Sedating |
Slow, Gentle, Long application |
|
|
Vibration variation Stimulating |
rapid, vigorous, brief application |
|
|
vibration strokes |
Trembling: tremor directed into body perpendicular to skin surface Shaking: moves bone and surrounding soft tissue together as a unit, Jostling- Rotates soft tissue around a bone shaft Rocking- moves the whole body part, seeking it's natural rhythm. |
|
|
Vibration Contraindications Coarse |
Coarse movements on the limbs should be performed with traction to prevent joint injury.
- Kidneys, liver, spleen - Damaged joints - Sacrum during pregnacey - Nerve dysfunction - Restricted circulation - unreponsive muscle - accute inflammation -bruising or varicostiy
|
|
|
Vibration Contraindications Fine |
is contraindicated only if all massage is contraindicated |
|
|
Vibration Effects
Nervous system effects |
Vibratition may initiate either sympathetic or parasympathetic (autonomic) responses |
|
|
Vibration Nervous system Strokes can relieve pain through... |
-Altered perception ( parasympathic response I endorphin release) -Blockage of the pain impulse conduction (neural gate theroy) |
|
|
Vibration Tissue effects Coarse |
Can loosen and separate connective tissue structures.
Vibration strokes can stimulate changes in tissue function, largely due to circulatiory and autonomic changes. |
|
|
Circulatory Effects |
Vibration strokes can liquefy and mobilize gelled interstitial fluid. - Returning it to circulation - Alleviating local congestion - Releasing stored toxins - Stimulate relaxation of vessel walls Improving local circulatory perfusion and tissue function - Vibration at a joint will increase synovial membrane activity - Vibration over a torso will increase visceral organ function. |
