Document Summary
Kin 4kk3 lecture 5 massage, smr and rom. **a lot of the methods we use in rehab are not exactly completely based on/supported /supported by research and there are still some unknowns** Likely easy to move things within muscle, something within joint less likely to be as easy to move around: petrissage : to knead, slightly more aggressive, might find some trigger point, break up scar tissue. Increase blood flow - really get things warmed up: +/- transverse friction, tapotement : to drum, seen more in the application of sport preparation, more of a stimulating massage. Lower qualities studies - hard to draw some strong conclusions: people tend to relax more with massage. Evidence: reduce sensitivity /lower threshold for pain with this rolling out - evidence shows that this is actually happening at a neurological level not a mechanical level - improves pain threshold.
