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.
