Study Notes
Topic 1: Basic Maneuvers in Massage Therapy
- Stroking:
- Analgesic effect: relieves pain
- Increases blood supply: increases oxygen and nutrients to the affected area
- Relaxes muscle tone: reduces muscle tension
- Compression:
- Increases blood supply: enhances circulation and reduces inflammation
- Analgesic effect: relieves pain
- Can be used for myofascial release: releases tension in the connective tissue
Topic 2: Massage Effects
- Changes parameters: increases blood flow, reduces pain, and improves mobility
- Increases proprioception: improves body awareness and balance
- Enhances neuromuscular and skeletal function: improves muscle tone and joint mobility
- Supports lymphatic drainage: promotes the removal of waste and toxins
Topic 3: Positioning in Massage Therapy
- Importance of proper positioning: maintains comfort and reduces discomfort for the patient
- Principles of positioning: stability, control, and precision
- Factors to consider: proprioception, examination, and treatment goals
Topic 4: Massage Techniques
- Superficial reflex techniques: stimulates skin reflexes and promotes relaxation
- Superficial fluid techniques: enhances fluid circulation and reduces inflammation
- Neuromuscular techniques: improves muscle tone and joint mobility
- Connective tissue techniques: improves tissue hydration and extensibility
- Passive movement techniques: promotes fluid circulation and joint mobility
- Percussive techniques: stimulates reflexes and promotes relaxation
Topic 5: Basis of Massage
- Importance of proper body mechanics: reduces fatigue and discomfort for the therapist
- Principles of body mechanics: relaxed shoulders, deep breathing, and efficient movement
- Factors to consider: patient-therapist relationship, stress management, and burnout prevention
Stress Management and Burnout Prevention
- Importance of stress management: reduces chronic stress and promotes well-being
- Strategies for stress management: personal support, spiritual growth, organizational skills, physical exercise, emotional expression, and mental focus
