MASSAGE
-
CELLULAR
PIZO-ELECTRIC EFFECT
-
concentration of gradients around the cell encourage the movement of sodium into the cells and potassium outside the cell, making the cells positive more active in proliferation and aids healing
mechanical stimulation deforms the collagen fibres changing the resting potential as there is an increase in potassium, making a negative charge = encourage proliferation of collegen: creating type 1
ISHEMIC EFFECT
release of pressure causes an influx of blood to the area, increased blood = more o2, more nutrients and reduction of waste due to pushing the lymph towards the lymph nodes= better ATP production
INCREASED BLOOD
VASODILATION
release of histamine sends signals to the hypothalamus which stimulates the release of bradykinin- opening the cappilaries
-
-
HEAT GENERATION
increases the pliability in the muscles due to thixotropic substances resulting in less restricted tissue, more movement, aids the elongation of collegan fibres and reduces tension
MASSAGE EFFECTS
STIMULATORY: fires the motor neurone to stimulate a fight response, improving muscle tone
CROSS FIBRE: decreases cross bridge formation in restricted tissue, causing inflammation process to establish and tissue to be reformed
GENTLE PRESSUE: stimulates the sympathetic nervous system, relax the horse, disassociates mechonoreceptors and decreasing pain
