[COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW] **EFFECTS OF MASSAGE (Rattray page 7-16)** The effects of massage are physiological and psychological in nature Its reflexive effects through the neurological systems -- central, peripheral and autonomic systems Cause muscle flexibility and relaxation and decreases stress levels Positive touch Decrease stress, anxiety and depression Effective in reducing pain and managing it Effect on local blood flow and increase circulation Increase lymphatic flow, decrease edema Can reduce blood pressure, decrease hypertonicity What massage therapy cannot do is increase muscle tone, increase muscle strength or bulk. It also cannot directly decrease the amount of cellulite or adipose tissue. Cannot prevent muscular atrophy in the denervated tissue. MASSAGE TECHNIQUES Components of the massage are: 1. Direction of movement: For relaxation or reduction of edema, the direction is centripetal (towards the heart) or in the direction of blood flow For treatment of fibrotic tissue, the techniques are applied in a cross-fibre direction in the direction of the restriction 2. Pressure: For relaxation, the pressure is usually light to moderate Deeper pressure is used to reach deeper structures and for the treatment of adhesions 3. Rhythm of movement: An even rhythm of movement should be used 4. Rate of movement: For relaxation -- movement is slower and can be matched to client's respirations Stimulation -- techs are applied more quickly 5. Duration of a technique: How long one applies a technique depends on the size of the area massaged, the pathological condition and the client's tolerance. EG: petrissage to an area of acute lumber pain may only be tolerated for a short time before the tissue becomes irritated whereas to reduce edema, a tech mayu be applied for 20 mins or more 6. Part of the therapist's hand or arm is used: Various parts of the hand or arm may be used to apply a technique. An elbow or thumb can achieve a more focused effect than the dull surface of the palm, which apples more general pressure. So depends on size and condition, tolerance and age of a client -- do not spend an hour on babies! Hand Contact -- why is it important? Maintaining hand contact during a massage is crucial for several reasons, enhancing both effectiveness and comfort: Trust and Connection: Continuous contact builds trust and reassures the client, creating a sense of safety. Client Comfort: Sudden breaks in contact can be jarring. Continuous touch helps the client stay relaxed. Therapist's Awareness: Keeping hands on the client allows the therapist to monitor muscle tension and adjust techniques in real-time. Smooth Transitions: Hand contact ensures smooth transitions between different techniques, enhancing the overall experience. Energy Flow: Continuous contact maintains a consistent energy flow, beneficial for healing and relaxation. Sensory Feedback: Continuous touch provides feedback to both the client and therapist, enhancing the effectiveness of the massage. Professionalism: It shows the therapist\'s focus, attentiveness, and commitment to providing a seamless experience. Overall, maintaining hand contact during a massage enhances its therapeutic effect, ensures client comfort, and reflects the therapist\'s competence and care. The difference between a relaxing effect and a stimulating effect is: Relaxing Effect -- slow, rhythmical and repetitive manner, decreases SNS firing, predictable rate, superficial techs using light pressure tend to be relaxing but so as deep pressure if applied with a broad touch (ie: full palmer surface of the hand or the ulnar border of the forearm can cause a soothing effect) Stimulating Effect -- briskness, erratic and less predictable patterns will generally increase the SNS firing. Deeper pressure may also have this effect. When smaller areas is used to apply the techs such as thumbs or fingertips or olecranon, the sensation is concentrated and specific, the effect may be more stimulating for the client.

Other names for it include: - terrible triad - O'Donoghue's triad - blown knee Your knee joint runs from the bottom of your [[femur]](https://www.healthline.com/human-body-maps/femur), which is your thigh bone, to the top of your [[tibia]](https://www.healthline.com/human-body-maps/tibia-bone), your shin bone. Ligaments connect these two bones and provide stability for your knee joint. Ligaments are strong, but they aren't very elastic. If they stretch out, they tend to stay that way. And when stretched too far, they can tear. The unhappy triad involves damage to your: - **Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).** The [[ACL]](https://www.healthline.com/health/anterior-cruciate-ligament-acl-injury/health/anterior-cruciate-ligament-acl-injury) crosses your inner knee joint diagonally. It helps to prevent your tibia from moving too far forward and stabilize your leg when you twist at the waist. - **Medial collateral ligament (MCL).** The [[MCL]](https://www.healthline.com/health/medial-collateral-ligament-mcl-injury-of-the-knee) prevents your knee from bending too far in the direction of your other knee. - **Medial meniscus. **This is a [[wedge of cartilage]](https://www.healthline.com/human-body-maps/medial-meniscus) on the tibia in your inner knee. It acts like a shock absorber when you walk or run while also stabilizing your knee. Read on to learn more about the unhappy triad, including how it's treated and how long it takes to recover from surgery. **What are the unhappy triad's symptoms?** The symptoms of the unhappy triad come on suddenly immediately after your knee is injured. They can include: - severe pain on the inside of your knee - significant swelling that begins within minutes of the injury - difficulty moving or putting weight on your knee - feeling like your knee will give out - knee stiffness - sensation that your knee is locking or catching on something - bruising that appears a few days after the injury **What causes the unhappy triad?** The unhappy triad usually results from a hard blow to your lower leg while your foot is planted on the ground. This pushes your knee inward, which it isn't used to doing. It also causes your femur and tibia to twist in opposite directions. This causes your medial meniscus and ligaments to stretch too far, making them prone to tearing. This might happen when a football player has their cleats planted in the ground while being hit with great force on their outer knee. It can also happen to a skier if their ski doesn't release from the bindings during a fall. The ankle can't turn in a ski boot, so the knee ends up twisting, which can stretch or rupture ligaments. **How is the unhappy triad treated?** Treatment depends on how severe the injury is. If the tears in your ligaments and meniscus are mild, you might be able to avoid surgery by: - resting your knee so it can heal without getting worse - applying [[ice packs]](https://www.healthline.com/health/chronic-pain/treating-pain-with-heat-and-cold) to reduce inflammation and swelling - wearing [[compression bandages]](https://www.healthline.com/health/compression-wrapping) to reduce swelling - elevating your knee while keeping it supported whenever possible - doing physical therapy to increase strength and mobility A Cochrane Review found that active adults with ACL injuries didn't have any reduced knee function two and five years after injury. This was the same for those who underwent nonsurgical treatment and those who opted for surgery. However, [[51 percent]](https://www.cochrane.org/CD011166/MUSKINJ_surgical-versus-conservative-interventions-treating-anterior-cruciate-ligament-injuries) of those treated without surgery ended up having the surgery within 5 years due to knee instability. This is something to keep in mind when considering your treatment options. Another potential problem is that by delaying surgery, the potential for developing arthritis exists because of the instability that could affect the knee as the patient gets older. **What types of surgery are used for the unhappy triad?** If you do need surgery, there are several options based on what needs to be repaired and how severe the injury is. Most surgeries are done using a minimally invasive approach called [[arthroscopy]](https://www.healthline.com/health/knee-arthroscopy). This allows a surgeon to insert miniature surgical tools through a through a small incision in your knee. The unhappy triad includes three injuries, but only two tend to require surgery: - The ACL can be [[reconstructed]](https://www.healthline.com/health/acl-reconstruction) using a tendon graft from a muscle in your leg. - The meniscus can be repaired by removing the damaged tissue with a procedure called a meniscectomy. A surgeon may instead decide to repair or transplant the meniscus. The MCL usually doesn't need to be repaired because it heals on its own. **Physical therapy** Physical therapy is an important part of your recovery regardless of whether you have surgery. Your doctor will likely recommend doing six to nine months of physical therapy and rehabilitation to help regain strength and range of motion in your knee. - SPORTS INJURY -- SURGERY - \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ to lateral knee [RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS:]  A diagram of a skeleton Description automatically generated  A close-up of a document Description automatically generated [DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GOUT AND RA] RA can be bilateral Gout can be unilateral Gout and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are both forms of arthritis, but they have distinct causes, symptoms, and treatment approaches. Here are the key differences between the two: **Causes** **Gout:** - **Cause:** Gout is caused by the accumulation of uric acid crystals in the joints. Uric acid is a waste product that forms when the body breaks down purines, substances found in certain foods and drinks. - **Risk Factors:** High-purine diet (e.g., red meat, shellfish, alcohol), obesity, certain medications, and conditions that affect kidney function can increase the risk of developing gout. **Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA):** - **Cause:** RA is an autoimmune disorder where the body\'s immune system mistakenly attacks the synovium, the lining of the membranes that surround the joints. - **Risk Factors:** Genetics, smoking, and possibly hormonal changes are associated with a higher risk of developing RA. It is more common in women than in men. **Symptoms** **Gout:** - **Onset:** Sudden and severe attacks of pain, swelling, redness, and tenderness in the joints, often the big toe. - **Symptoms:** Intense joint pain, lingering discomfort, inflammation, and redness. - **Pattern:** Often affects one joint at a time (especially the big toe) but can spread to other joints. **Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA):** - **Onset:** Symptoms can develop gradually or suddenly and often affect joints symmetrically (both sides of the body). - **Symptoms:** Joint pain, swelling, stiffness (especially in the morning or after periods of inactivity), fatigue, fever, and loss of appetite. - **Pattern:** Typically affects multiple joints, including hands, wrists, and knees, symmetrically. **Diagnosis** **Gout:** - **Tests:** Blood tests to measure uric acid levels, joint fluid test to detect uric acid crystals, and imaging tests (X-rays, ultrasound, or CT scans). **Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA):** - **Tests:** Blood tests for rheumatoid factor (RF) and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) antibodies, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and C-reactive protein (CRP) to detect inflammation. Imaging tests (X-rays, MRI, or ultrasound) to assess joint damage. **Treatment** **Gout:** - **Acute Attack Management:** Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), colchicine, and corticosteroids. - **Long-term Management:** Medications to lower uric acid levels, lifestyle changes (diet, weight management, and reducing alcohol consumption). **Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA):** - **Medications:** Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), biologics, NSAIDs, and corticosteroids. - **Other Treatments:** Physical therapy, lifestyle changes (exercise, healthy diet), and sometimes surgery to repair or replace damaged joints. **Prognosis** **Gout:** - With proper management, gout can often be controlled effectively, and the risk of further attacks and joint damage can be minimized. **Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA):** - RA is a chronic condition that can cause significant joint damage and disability over time. Early and aggressive treatment can help manage symptoms and slow disease progression. Understanding these differences is crucial for proper diagnosis and treatment. If you suspect you have either condition, it is important to consult a healthcare provider for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management plan.
