RECAP OF CHAPTER 10

___________ during massage occurs with applications that drag, glide, lengthen, and stretch tissue to elongate connective tissues and lengthen short muscles

• Tension stress

• Binding

• Friction

• Torsion

_____ equals twisting forces.

• Shear stress

• Torsion

• Friction

• Effleurage

Used to apply pressure by pressing/pushing into tissue

• Torsion

• Friction

• Compression

• Gliding

_______ stroke is used to warm and prepare tissue.

• effleurage

• kneading

• friction

• stretching

Friction is used to:

• Decrease tissue repair

• Cause vibration

• Keeps a group of muscles stretched to reduce muscle spasms

• Increase tissue repair through activation of inflammatory responses

Traction consists of _________

• Pulling on part of the body to separate two or more parts

• Typically called stretching and traction

• Can be applied with stabilized fingers, the palm and heel of the hand, the fist, the knuckles, the forearm, and, in some systems, the leg and heel of the foot

• The preferred method for abdominal massage

• Used to apply pressure by pressing/pushing into tissue

• Three

• Six

• Nine

• Four

Compression is characterized by which statement?

• Tissue is pressed against underlying bone, softening connective tissue.

• When applied specifically it is called inhibitory pressure.
