Friction Massage

6) NUMBER OF TREATMENTS
if friction aggravates condition or pt doesn't numb within 3-5 min it is possible tx won't respont to treatment type

-
2)Transverse Friction
-
moving at right angles across tx will not damage normal healing tx but will prevent the formation of/or breakdown abnormal scar tx
-
4)FRICTION ANAETHESIA
-
Pain gate theory; stimulation of large fibre mechanoreceptors will cause presynaptic inhibition at the SC thus preventing small diameter fibres from reaching consciousness
-
-
1)MICRO-TEARING
occurs when soft tx is stressed beyond its biomechanical yield strength (tendon beyond 4% resting length)
-
in early stages of healing scar tx is not as strong as later stages, thus it is thought the re-modelling phase of the inflammatory response depends on mechanical stimuli
One of the most valuable modalities for the treatment of pathology caused by chronic overuse soft tx syndromes
requires functional examination to find the location of the source of the pain, tender area is not necessarily the source.
