    • Problems

    • Stress

    • Spasm

    Correct Answer
    A. Problems
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Problems" because the question is asking for the main muscle in the abdomen that can cause something, and out of the given options (Stress, Spasm, Problems), only "Problems" makes sense in this context. The abdominis rectus is indeed a main muscle in the abdomen and it can cause various issues or problems if it is not functioning properly.

    The abdomen is a difficult area to apply any type of pressure massage so friction is the main massage movement to use.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The given statement is false. While the abdomen is indeed a sensitive area, it is not true that friction is the main massage movement to use. In fact, there are various massage techniques that can be applied to the abdomen, such as effleurage, petrissage, and kneading. These techniques can help improve digestion, relieve tension, and promote relaxation in the abdominal area. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that friction is the main massage movement to use on the abdomen.
