What does the indriect technique accomplish?
|
new neutral point
rebalances mechanoreceptors |
|
What is the barrier concept of the indirect technique?
|
This positions away from the restrictive barrier into free motion
New neutral is created |
|
What are the 4 types of fascia?
|
superficial, deep, subserous, dura
|
|
What is found if fascia?
|
elasic fibers, ground substance, mechanoreceptors
|
|
Does indirect myofascial release activate nociceptors?
|
no it does not, supposed to be very gentile
|
|
What is indirect myofascial release best indicated uses?
|
spasm, pain/inflammation
relaxes and decongests tissues |
|
How does indirect myofascial release actually ease pain?
|
Relaxes strain patterns in PNS, reduces proprioceptive/nociceptive signals, helps remove chemicals
|
|
What does the POE(T)^2 technique of myofasical release mean?
|
Point Of Entry, Traction and Twist into or away from barrier. Hold 20 seconds, release slowly
|
|
Strain-Counterstrain OMT is perfect for what situations? why?
|
this is perfect for ED or hospital as it can be therapeutic and diagnositc
|
|
How does strain counterstrain work?
|
This is movement away from the barrier, to a point of comfort. Relieving the pain, and arrest inappropriate proprioceptor activity
|
|
What do tenderpoints indicate?
|
These are sensory manifestations of neuromuscular or musculoskeletal dysfunction
|
|
What are the rules of strain-counterstrain?
|
Hold for 90 seconds @ ease
return slowly anterior points are treated in flexion posterior points are treated in extension midline are treated by extension of flexion lateral to midline- treated by rotation/sidebending |
|
General rules of strain counter strain?
|
treat most tender first
if in row, treat middle first warn of post treatment flair no contraindications |
|
What does counterstain direct its treatment at?
|
neuromuscular reflexes
|
|
What does indirect balancing do?
|
it balances the joint at a new balance point.
Quality of motion rather than quantity Enhances lymphatic flow and microcirculation |
|
In counterstain, where should one finger always remain?
|
on the tenderpoint
|
|
What are the 3 stages of counterstain by time?
|
first 30 sec- nociceptive change
second 30 sec- vascular chaneg third 30 sec- lymphatic change, tissue edema resolves |
|
When treating C2, which way do you sidebend and rotate relative to the tender side of the spinous process? Using counterstrain technique
|
Rotate and Sidebend AWAY from tender side of spinous process
|
|
When treating posterior throacic tender points, using counterstrain, what side does the DR. stand on? What side does ASIS does he raise?
|
Stand on the injury side, place fingers on tender point, pull up on opposite ASIS to relieve tension
|
|
For lumbar tender points? what do you raise? where do you stand?
|
you stand on the same side as injury, raise same leg as injury w/pt lying prone
|
|
When doing a levator scapula tender point counterstrain treatment, which way does the pts' head have to be rotated?
|
away from tender point
|
