    Study Notes

    Tissue Deformation

    • Traction forces deform tissue by pulling the layer of tissue structures apart from one another
    • Shear forces deform tissue by shifting different structures against each other

    Types of Strokes

    • Non-contact strokes do not touch the skin
    • Kneading is a method that helps release emotional holding, reduces tension in muscles, creates movements, and opens joints
    • Filling is a type of method that involves compressing the tissue
    • Vibration is a type of method that involves oscillating movements

    Percussion Movements

    • Examples of percussion movements include tapotement, hacking, and cupping

    Engaging Tissues

    • A practitioner can "engage" the tissues by making gentle, gradual contact with the client's body

    Stimulating Strokes

    • Tapotement strokes are known to be stimulating and energizing

    Excursion

    • Excursion in the context of massage refers to the movement of the practitioner's hand or finger into the tissue

    Modifying Pressure

    • The type of movement, size, thickness, density, condition, and quality of the tissue to which the movement is directed are determining factors for adjusting pressure
    • A practitioner can stay in contact but back off during the massage if the client has a reaction such as pain or deep emotion

    Kneading Benefits

    • When skillfully applied, kneading helps with releasing emotional holding, reducing tension in muscles, and creating movements

    Back and Forth Movement

    • The back and forth movement in which both of the practitioner's hands are placed a short distance apart on either side of the limb is called rolling

    Effects of Kneading

    • Softened amorphous (massed) ground substance in the fascia is a direct effect of kneading

    Rapid Back and Forth Movement

    • A rapid back and forth movement with the hands in which the flesh is shaken and rolled around the axis is called vibration

    Palmar Pumping

    • Palmar pumping uses a rhythmic pumping action directed into the muscle perpendicular to the underlying bone using the palms

    Trager Bodywork

    • The bodywork known as Trager uses a rhythmic, gentle, and non-invasive approach

    Oscillating Method

    • An oscillating method that is a continuous shaking or trembling movement transmitted from the practitioner's hand and arm (or electric apparatus) to a fixed point or along a selected area of the body is called vibration

    Most Soothing Movement

    • Long strokes are the most soothing and relaxing of all the massage movements

    Delicate Areas

    • Gentle, light strokes should be used over delicate and sensitive areas, such as the face

    Grasping Flesh

    • Grasping the flesh firmly in one or both hands and moving it up and down along the bone is called lifting

    Push-Pull and Release Movement

    • The push-pull and release movement applied to the client's body in either side to side or up and down directions is called wringing

    Pathological Barriers

    • A sense of resistance or "bind" is not an example of a pathological barrier

    End Feel

    • An end feel that results in bone on bone contact, such as the extension of the elbow, is called "bone-on-bone" end feel
