30
Is the lymphatic system one way or two way?
One way, valves prevent backflow
31
What is the transport pathway of the lymph?
Lymphatic capillaries through lymphatic vessels to the lymph node
32
Whats the process that drives interstitial protein changes?
Increase arterial blood protein, increase interstitial protein, increase osmotic pressure + volume, increased lymphatic flow and venous capillary flow, decrease in interstitial protein
33
How does increase in capillary pressure affect protein movement?
Interstitial fluid pressure increases pressure, in turn outflow to interstitial space increased and proteins increases - increased lymphatic permeability
34
What intrinsic factors aid interstitial protein movement?
Valves prevent backflow, muscular contraction, increased elevation, arterial pulsation increased, compression (manual or massage)
35
What is the lymphatic pump?
Lympahtic vessel sections between valves contract when stretched and expel fluid forward to the next inter-value section of vessels
36
Whats the pressure in the large ducts when full?
25-50 mmHg
37
What are the primary lymphatic organs?
Bone marrow and thymus gland
38
What is the function of bone marrow?
Forms t and b lymphocytes
39
What is the function of the thymus glands?
Developing immune system (children) - t lymph, t lymph maturation
40
What are the secondary lymphatic organs?
Tonsils, spleen and respiratory tract
41
What role do the tonsils have in the lymphatic system?
Large lymph nodes to aid protection from inhaled/ingested harmful particles
42
What is the function in the spleen in the lymphatic system?
Blood storage in case of blood loss, b lymphocytes formation
43
Whats the respiratory tract in the lymphatic system?
Gastrointestinal tract - lymphatic tissue and urinary tract - for defence
44
What are the general effects of massage?
Increased circulation, venous return, lymphatic drainage, fibrinogen (blood clotting reduced), tissue permeability, control of swelling (reduced oedema), promotes recovery
45
How does massage help dissipate swelling?
Micro circulation at subcutaneous level dissipates
46
What are some of the benefits of massage to recovery?
Reduced muscle spasm, acceralte inflammatory resolution, breakdown of scar tissue
47
What is POMS?
Perceptual of Mood State
48
Whats the psychological benefit of massage?
Increase mood and endorphin secretion
49
What are the 4 possible mechanisms of massage?
Biomechanical, physiological, neurological and psychological
50
What are the biomechanical effects of message?
Decreased tissue adhesion, active and passive stiffness, increased muscle compliance, range of joint motion
51
What are the physiological effects of message?
Increased blood flow, skin circulation, parasympathetic activity and relaxation hormones and decrease in stress hormones
52
What are the neurological effects of message?
Decrease neuromuscular excitability, pain and muscle tension/spasm

55
Whats the definition of effleurage?
Gliding/sliding movement over the skin with a continuous motion
56
What is the defintion of Petrissage?
Lifting, wringing and squeezing fo soft tissues in kneading motion or pressure or rolling of the tissues under or between the hands
57

Various parts of the hand striking the tissues at a fairly rapid rate
59
What order are massage techniques used?
Effleurage, petrissage, (friction), tapotement and effleurage
60
Whats the advantage of effleurage?
Stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system and evoke relaxation response enhancing venous return
61
Whats the advantage of petrissage?
Mobilizations of deep muscle tissue, skin and subcutaneous tissue, increase local circulation and assists venous return
62
Whats the advantage of friction massage?
Treat muscle spasm and break up adhesion from old injuries
63
Whats the advantage of tapotement?
Stimulates tissue by mechanical force or reflex action
64
What part of the hand does effleurage use?
Palm to stimulate deep tissues, fingertips for sensory nerves
65
What direction should massage strokes be performed?
Distal to proximal (towards heart), tendon to muscle belly
66
Why are firm massage strokes important?
Increase blood and lymph flow to increase drainage and reduce swelling
67
Why are rapid strokes important in massage?
Increase muscle tone pre-competition
68
What part of the hand is used in petrissage?
Fingers or palms, lifting and rolling skin between the thumb and fingers or palm and fingers
69
Why is kneading used during petrissage?
Circular movement of soft tissue against bone increases pressure as move proximally, vasodilation increases
70
How long should friction massage occur?
5-15 minutes
71
Why is friction massage used?
Promotes mild tissue destruction, promotes hyperaemia, inflammation and pain relief
72
Why does increase damage to muscle aid recovery?
Encourages blood flow to the area, helps with the breakdown of scar tissue and muscle tissue
73

Clapping, hacking, beating and pounding
74
How can vibration be used as part of massage?
Trembling fingers close contact to the chest can detach mucus from the bronchi
75
What is the effect of vibration massage?
Increased thoracic mobility, ventilation, decongestion (mucus and coughing)
76
What are some contradictions to massage?
Acute trauma (fractures ect.), inflammation (artitritis, bursitis and periostitis), artificial blood vessels, thrombosis (blood clots), internal bleeding, tumors, infections (bacterial, viral, fungal)
77
What is the benefit of pain relief through friction?
Closes the pain gate and stimulated endogenous opiods, reduces DOMS
78
What is the theoretical massage mechanism?
Decreased mechanical overload of sarcolemas, decreases sarcoplasmic recticulum ruptures, decreased intracellular calcium and decreased ultrastructural damage
79
What are the key techniques in ankle taping?
Anchors, stirrups and horseshoes

How is a taping finished off?
With a figure of 8
81
Where should tape start and end?
On the anchor points
82
What are the different types of tape available?
Underwrap, hypafix, kinesio tape, cohesive bamdage, zinc oxide, EAS and electrical tape

Whats the function of underwrap?
Used underneath to prevent the pulling of hair and skin at the site of injury, can slip and void technique
84
Whats the function of K tape?
Lifts the skin and improves lymphatic drainage, stretchy so doe not stop movement
85
What is the function of EAB and cohesive bandages?
Similar tapes, stretchy and provide varied support, stays in place and can be reapplied, tears easily but can have bonding problems
86
What is the purpose of zinc oxide tape?
Strong adhesive, all purpose, supports ligaments and joint capsules, very strong but can restrict movement
87
What checks should be completed post taping?

88
What technique should be used when taping a thumb?
Anchor, side loop, front loop and re-anchor
89
Why is taping completed?
Mechanical support to limit excessive ROM, aid proprioceptive feedback, assist pain management, offload soft tissue, assist healing (compression)
