Neuromuscular therapy identifies soft tissue abnormalities and at the same time manipulates the soft tissue to normalize its function.

NMT is appropriate for soft tissue pain from injury in its acute inflammatory phase.

Tenderness usually indicates some degree of dysfunction in the associated tissues or organs.

Indicate whether the statement is true or false. The primary technique of NMT generally uses the thumb to move across, along, and through the tissues.

Indicate whether the statement is true or false. 6. Another name for trigger point pressure release is ischemic compression.

Pressure that is too deep causes the client to tense up and is counterproductive.

Indicate whether the statement is true or false. Pressure that is too light is usually ineffective for ischemic compression.

Indicate whether the statement is true or false. The order in which NMT is applied is from deep to superficial.

Indicate whether the statement is true or false. 10. Trigger points are addressed before adding lubricant for gliding strokes to improve circulation.

It is helpful to monitor the areas of dysfunction with follow-up NMT sessions and incorporate a program of regular exercise to improve strength, posture, and stamina.

The rate of motion or speed of the gliding stroke can vary according to the depth and intention for which the stroke is being applied.

_____ was developed in the 1930s and 1940s by Stanley Leif in England.

Neuromuscular lesions are usually hypersensitive to _____ and are often associated with trigger points.

Which law states weak stimuli activate physiologic processes, whereas strong stimuli inhibit them?

Which law states that the nerve that innervates a joint also innervates the muscles of that joint and the skin over the insertions of those muscles?

Which law states that the anterior or ventral roots of the spinal nerves are motor and the posterior or dorsal roots are sensory?

Which law states that spinal cord reflexes can be initiated by pressure along the spine?

Which law states that after a nerve impulse has traveled a pathway through a certain set of neurons, future impulses will tend to travel the same way?

Which law states that when a joint is injured, the muscles surrounding the joint contract to immobilize and protect the joint?

Which law states that steady, low levels of pressure stimulate a neurologic response, whereas intense, high levels of pressure or stimulation can be counterproductive and inhibit positive responses?

Which law explains the tendency of repeated pain patterns in the same area and why trigger points tend to return to those areas?

Which law explains that the activation of nerves that do not transmit pain signals can interfere with signals from pain fibers and inhibit a person's perception of pain?

_____ is the primary technique of NMT that generally uses the thumb to move across, along, and through the tissues.

When performing ischemic compression, changes in the tissue should be perceived within _____
