Physiological effects of massage
Organic process of the body, on cellular, tissue, or organ system levels, activation of parasympathetic nervous system, and releases endorphins
Effective massage on the muscular system
Petrissage or kneading and compression create a pumping action, forces Venous blood and lymph out word, brings fresh supply of blood to muscles, aids and removal of metabolic waste, helps nourish tissue friction massage reduces adhesion and excessive scar improves posture allows more flexability.
Effects of massage on skin
Reduces superficial keloid formation, stimulates sweat and oil gland activity, friction and stroking movement heightened blood circulation, slight raining and warming of the skin, nutrition to skin is improved

Stretch week muscles, and Impaired circulation, arthritis, and increasing extensibility of collagen tissue
Conditions for which Cold can be applied
Swelling, reducing spasiticity, prevent injury to tissue
Guidelines for massaging person with cancer
Take a complete medical history, consult a physician, develop a treatment plan

Hard end feel
What is bone against bone?
Isometric contraction
What is contraction without Joint movement?
Soft end feel

What is it when a client contracts the antagonist to the target muscle, and reduces muscle cramping?
Unassisted static stretching
What is it when a client stretches into resistance and applies light contraction, such as yoga?
Assisted static stretching
