Technique

Question 1

Pin and stretch

Answer 1

Anchor spots of most tension while moving joints passively.
Start with muscle shortened

Question 2

Static/ischemic compression

Answer 2

pressing tissue without moving hand
reduces ht and deactivates trigger points

Question 3

muscle seperation

Answer 3

2 adjacent muscles or groups adhere to each other unable to slide
separation improves joint function and resolves pain

Question 4

muscle stripping

Answer 4

increases elongation, elasticity and pliability
decreases hypertonicity and inactive trigger points

Question 5

deep transverse/cross fibre friction

Answer 5

separate adhesions, breaks x-links of scar tissue, stimulates fibroblasts activity in degenerated tendon

Question 6

active concentric stripping

Answer 6

massage technique with shortening joint movement

Question 7

passive, active or active resisted eccentric stripping or compression

Answer 7

massage techniques with lengthening joint movement
