25
What is Hypertonicity?
Greater than normal muscle tone
26
What are Trigger Points?
A localized area of deep tenderness that MAY produce referred pain - often in a PREDICTABLE area when overloaded or under direct digital pressure
27
What is a TAUGHT BAND?
The group of taught muscle fibers associated with a myofascial triggerpoint - identifiable by palpation
28
What is POSTURAL DISTORTION?
The result of imbalance in the musculoskeletal system caused by hypertonicity and gravity. This can cause shortened or lengthened muscles
29
Postural Analysis
Muscles can be identified as LOCKED SHORT or LOCKED LONG based on posture. Therapists can then treat the LOCKED SHORT muscles as a means of balancing posture
30
Nerve entrapment
Constriction or mechanical distortion of a nerve within a fibrous, fibrocartilage-osseous tunnel or taught band which in turn interferes with nerve conduction
31
Difference between Swedish Massage and NMT
- Swedish Massage has a goal of RELAXATION - NMT has a goal of PAIN RELIEF
32
What is PALPATION
To assess the body through touch
33
What do we palpate?
Specific individual muscles
34
What are we feeling for during palpation
- Hypertonicity - Reaction - Trigger Points
35
How much pressure should you use to find trigger points?
- Just enough to elicit a referred sensation - Use a scale of 1-10 aiming for 7
36
What is the PROTOCOL for NMT technique
ASSESS - Evaluate what they are saying and how they are walking and holding themselves (posture) GENERAL GLIDE - warm up the muscle region with effleurage SPECIFIC GLIDE - STATIC PRESSURE / TRIGGER POINT RELEASE - use the “wave” to SLOWLY stretch the myofascial tissue until you find a point of pain then use STATIC PRESSURE and a pain scale until you reach 7 Ask if you can use more pressure? Have the client BREATH deep for 10-12 seconds. Re-evaluate pain scale Treat twice
37
O. I. A. R. stands for
ORIGIN INSERTION ACTION R = Functional Anatomy - Related muscles and structures
38
How you should define the pain scale (don’t call it a pain scale to the client)
Less than 5: I definitely need more pressure 5: that feels good. No discomfort 6: mild discomfort 7: moderate discomfort 7.5: strong sensation but no impulse to withdraw 8: impulse to withdraw, pain, inability to relax into the technique
