Study Notes

Therapeutic Procedure Overview

Involves acquiring a medical history, creating treatment plans, and implementing treatments.
Evaluation is the final step in the therapeutic procedure.

Therapeutic Planning

Planning includes determining strategies and selecting therapeutic techniques for conditions.
Short range planning addresses immediate client needs while long range goal setting can include 6 to 10 sessions for in-depth assessments.

Client Engagement and Communication

Engaging clients through clear communication is essential for understanding their needs and concerns.
Clients should provide feedback before, during, and after sessions to enhance treatment.

Client Intake Process

Therapeutic massage client intake is more comprehensive than wellness massages.
Policies and procedures are outlined during the initial consultation phase.
Assessment involves conducting special tests, including range of motion.

Assessment Techniques

Common assessment protocols exclude referrals to other health professionals but include gathering extensive client information such as age and occupation.
Subjective information is collected from clients about ongoing conditions, enabling effective treatment strategies.

Pain and Sensation Evaluation

Pain is rated on a scale of 0 to 10; excruciating pain receives a rating of 10, while the most beneficial pressure for therapy typically rates around 7.

Observational and Postural Assessment

Visual observation assesses structural alignment and skin color variations.
Posture should be assessed starting from the feet, noting deviations and imbalances in body alignment.

Tissue and Movement Assessment

Understanding different tissue types, including contractile and inert tissues, aids in effective assessment.
End feel classifies movement quality at the end range, significant in assessing passive movements.

Soft Tissue Evaluation

Objective assessment techniques include palpation and observing for conditions like congestion.
Tension in connective tissues often relates to postural deviations and compensation patterns.

Inflammatory Response and Treatment Planning

The inflammatory response focuses on repairing damaged tissues through fibroblast activity.
Treatment plans can include referrals to other health professionals, self-care recommendations, and avoiding specific areas during massages.

Muscle Function and Therapeutic Techniques

Constricted postural muscles can lead to antagonistic muscles becoming hypotonic.
Techniques that enhance local circulation include stripping and superficial gliding.

Goals and Evaluation in Therapeutic Massage

The three core goals of therapeutic massage do not include decreasing muscle tonicity.
Evaluation confirms whether treatment goals have been achieved and if referrals are necessary.
