Name 4 benefits of good body mechanics. |
|
1.) Reduce stress on body
2.) Reduce potential for injury
3.) Efficient use of energy

|
1.) Fatigue
2.) Pain
3.) Discomfort
4.) Therapist burnout

Define Gliding.
Define Friction. |
|
1.) Gliding is smooth, effortless movement across the skin
2.) Friction is rubbing one surface against another, creating resistance. |

|
What are the purposes/effects of Compression? |
|
- warming tissues
- increase circulation
- remove waste products
- prevent or break up adhesions and fibrosis
- aid in freer movement
- benefit skeletal system
- decrease muscle hypertonicity (unusually high tension)
- decrease pain |
| |
|
What are the purposes/effects of Effleurage? |
|
- application of oil
- warm tissues
- connection or transition
- assessment
- circulatory draining
- passive stretching of muscle groups
- decrease muscle hypertonicity (unusually high tension)
- decrease pain |
| |
|
What are the purposes/effects of Petrissage? |
|
- warming tissues, increase pliability
- 'milking' tissues
- relaxing tight, restricted tissue
- bring deep fluids to surface
- create separation/space between tissues
- relieves pain
- increase circulation
- decrease muscle hypertonicity (unusually high tension) |
| |
|
What are the purposes/effects of Friction? |
|
Superficial Friction:
- warming skin and superficial fascia
- increase circulation in skin
Deep-fiber Friction:
- increase circulation in deep fascia and muscle tissues
- break up adhesions and fibrosis
- relaxing armored tissue
- spread tissue fibers |
| |
|
What are the purposes/effects of Vibration? |
|
- promote relaxation and reduce armoring
- transitioning
- stimulating nerves
- adding variety and flow/integration to treatment
- decrease pain sensitivity
- increase circulation and tissue temperature
- decrease muscle hypertonicity (unusually high tension) |
| |
|
What are the purposes/effects of Tapotement? |
|
- promote relaxation and reduce armoring
- increase blood flow to the surface
- stimulating function of deeper muscles & organs
- decompressing/decongesting joints
- expectoration of lung congestion
- anesthetic effect on hypersensitive nerve endings
- increase circulation and tissue temperature
- stimulate muscle contractions |
