Quiz 4-Massage

Compression may deform the tissues by pressing perpendicularly into the tissues against the underlying bone

true

Fulling is a kneading technique in which the practitioner grasps the tissue and gently lifts and spreads it out

true

Shaking allows for the release of tension by gently shaking a relaxed body part so that the flesh flops around the bone

true

Chucking is a rapid back and forth movement with the hands in which the flesh is shaken and rolled around the axis, or imaginary centerline, of the body part

false

Skin rolling is a variation of kneading in which only the skin and subcutaneous tissue are picked up between the thumb and fingers and rolled

true

Skin rolling warms, stretched, and begins to separate adhesions between fascial sheaths

true

circular friction, which is intended to produce heat and stretch and loosen the fascia, is a general stroke used to warm the area in preparation for more specific or deeper work

true

The shearing action of friction helps separate the tissues and soften adhesions and fibrosis especially in muscle tissue and fascia

truef

Friction softens the amorphous(massed) ground substance between fascia layers and aids in absorption of fluids around the joints

True

Kneading movements involve moving a more superficial layer of tissue against deeper layers of tissue

false

When performing circular friction, the fingers or hand do not slide over the skin in a circular manner

true

One of the benefits and effects of torsion methods is to mechanically loosen and soften the superficial tissues

true

One of the effects and benefits of torsion methods is increased muscle atrophy

false

One of the effects and benefits of torsion methods is to restrict fluid movement

false

One of the effects and benefits of torsion methods is to broaden and stretch local tissues

true

One of the effects and benefits of torsion methods is to improve muscle tone elasticity, and pliability and contract muscles

false

Tension forces deform the tissue by

pulling the layers of tissue structure apart from one another

Shearing force deforms the tissue by

shifting different structures against each other

_____is considered a torsion method of massage

fulling

_____is a rhythmical pumping action directed into the muscle perpendicular to the underlying bone

palmar compression

What term comes from a French verb meaning “to knead” or “mash”

petrissage

What technique is described by the practitioner grasping the tissue and gently lifting and spreading it out, as if to make more space between the layers of tissue or muscle fibers?

fulling

On large areas of the body, both hands work alternately as a unit describes all of the following except

effleurage

What movement is accomplished by grasping the flesh firmly in one or both hands and moving it up and down along the bone

chucking

Friction techniques produce the following benefits and effects, except

increases muscle tension
