All about the massage

WHAT IS MASSAGE?
It is the application of motion in the form of pressure, tensile, vibration and percussion performed on tissues without segmental body movement, manual or instrumental purposes or therapist and some added filáctica diagnosis.
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE?
The purpose is aesthetic and hygienic or therapeutic.
When there is a therapeutic and aesthetic condition to prevent such.
WHAT ARE THE PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS?
Depending on the organ or system which acts on the massage effect on cause:
* Skin
* Nervous System
Blood Circulation *
* Lymphatic Circulation
* Muscles
* Sweat glands
* Respiratory
* Joints
* Deep Organos
* Liquid insterticiales
Depending on the type of stimulus-response to massage, the effects can be:
* Mechanics
Reflections *
Depending on the type of technique or maneuver used to get physiological effects:
* For the effleurage
* For the friction
* For the petrisagge
* For percussion
PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS ON THE SKIN:
Hyperthermia (temperature increase), this is caused by a mechanical action (rubbing of the hands of the therapist with the patient's skin) and a reflex action that is superficial vasodilatation.
Hiperhemia (increased blood flow), this leads to increased oxygenation of the arteries, veins and lymph, increased elimination of toxins from the veins and lymph.
Promotes secretion of sweat and sebaceous glands and exocrine release of serotonin, acetylcholine and histamine as tissue hormones.
Promotes the regeneration of the epithelial cells of the epidermis, the increase of cell metabolism.
Stimulation of receptors of the nervous system, causing a sedative or stimulating effect depending on the pace and intensity.
Barrido impurities and the scaling of the outer layer of skin, with greater smoothness, elasticity gaining strength and flexibility.
EFFECTS ON PHYSIOLOGICAL subcutaneous tissue:
* Hyperthermia
* Hiperhemia
* Stimulates the glandular secretion and increases capillary permeability by promoting the reabsorption of exudates, thus alleviating pain.
* Detach and remove the adhesions of the skin.
PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS ON THE SOFT TISSUE:
* Stimulates the interoceptores located in the capsule, ligaments and tendons favoring proprioception.
* Resorbed exudates and edema.
* Shows periarticular adhesions.
PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS ON MUSCLE TISSUE:
* Through the intramuscular hiperhemia, which increases the oxygen and nutrients and removal of substances
* Scrap improves trophism muscle.
* It slows and reduces muscle fatigue, for the metabolism of lactic acid.
* Reduces muscle excitability and increases their ability to work, preparing for physical activity.
* Improves muscle tone.
* It stimulates the receptors in the nervous system.
Physiological Effects on the circulatory system:
Favors lymphatic and venous return.
* Increases the flow of liquids and particularly lymphatic venous return.
* Increases the speed of driving traffic.
Favors cellular metabolism.
Physiological Effects on the nervous system:
* Serves on trophism in peripheral nerves.
* Stimulates nerve terminals or silk as the maneuver applied.
* Sedation pain caused by an alteration visceral.
CLASSIFICATION BY THE TECHNIQUE OF MASSAGE:
Effleurage or friction:
Is the most superficial maneuvers.
It consists of a light touch of the hands of the therapist on the patient's skin without moving it.
Friction:
Is the displacement of the hand with relative pressure, causing a shift in the subcutaneous tissue on the underlying.
Petrissage or kneading:
Par excellence is the maneuver used to work on muscle.
Is to take the skin, subcutaneous tissue and muscle mass with the hands, strength and muscle to squeeze and then move on.
Percussion:
It is deeper because the maneuver to reach the periosteum.
Is the rhythmic tapping of the body mass.
These techniques were combined according to the needs of the patient.
Surgical techniques of massage:
* There should be a warm atmosphere at a temperature of 25 degrees, which is comfortable and spacious.
* The patient should be relaxed and the body part being exposed to work while respecting the rules of modesty.
* The way the massage can be superficial or deep.
* The pace: fast, slow or intermediate.
* How: unimanual, bimanual together, alternating, digital.
* Address: rectilinear, circular and helical.
* The meaning: The massage is always done in respect of the return of body fluids to the heart.
* Duration: According to the target, part 10 to 15 minutes and 45 minutes total.
