MASSAGE

• BY TAHIR BHAT

• DCPE AMRAVATI

INTRODUCTION

• MASSAGE IS THE SYSTEMATIC, MECHANICAL STIMULATION OF THE SOFT TISSUES OF THE BODY BY MEANS OF RHYTHMICALLY APPLIED PRESSURE AND STRETCHING FOR THERAPEUTIC PURPOSES

INTRODUCTIONSPORT MASSAGE IS USED:-

BEFORE DURING AFTER

ATHELETIC EVENTS…

THE PURPOSE OF MASSAGE TO PREVENT INJURIES

TO RELIEVE SWELLING

TO DRAIN ANY FATIQUE

TO PROMOTE FLEXIBILITY

PREPARE THE ATHELETE FOR PEAK PERFORMANCE

PROVIDES A WARM-UP TO LOOSEN MUSCLES PRE EVENT

TO REDUCE MUSCLE TENSION AND INFLAMMATION POST EVENT

MASSAGE HAS NO EFFECT ON

• OBESITY

• MUSCLE MASS

• MUSCLE STRENGTH

TYPES OF MASSAGE THAI MASSAGE

TUI NA MASSAGE

SPORTS MASSAGE

SHIATSU MASSAGE

AQUATIC MASSAGE

SWEDISH MASSAGE

TRIGGER POINT MASSAGE

SPORT MASSAGE

• SPORT MASSAGE TECHNIQUES ARE QUITE SIMILAR TO SWEDISH MASSAGE

• HOW IS SPORTS MASSAGE DIFFERENT FROM OTHER TYPES OF THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE?

-IN SPORTS MASSAGE THE THERAPIST MAY APPLY THE TECHNIQUES MORE FIRMLY & DEEPER THAN A GENERAL MASSAGE THERAPIST MIGHT

-USE MORE FRICTIONS TO BREAK DOWN ADHESIONS & SOFTEN SCAR TISSUES

-ARE DESIGNED TO REDUCE INJURY

TECHNIQUES OF SPORTS MASSAGE

• EFFLEURAGE

• LIGHT GLIDING STROKES OVER SKIN WITHOUT MOVING DEEP MUSCLE MASSES USED FOR MUSCLE RELAXATION

• PETRISSAGE

• KNEADING MANIPULATION THAT INTERMITTENTLY LIFT,PRESS & ROLL THE MUSCLES UNDER THE FINGERS OR HANDS.

• USED FOR INCREASING CIRCULATION AND REDUCING EDEMA

TECHNIQUES OF SPORTS MASSAGE

•PERCUSSION (TAPOTMENT) - SERIES OF ALTERNATING BLOWS S/A

HACKING, SLAPPING, BEATING, PINCHING, TAPPING WITH FINGER TIPS,CUPPING,CLAPPING,

- USED TO STIMULATE CIRCULATION & DESENSITIZED OPERATED SITES.

TECHNIQUES OF SPORTS MASSAGE

• FRICTION-CIRCULAR

• MOTION OF THE THERAPIST’S FINGERTIPS WITH PRESSURE APPLIED SO THAT THE THERAPIST’S FINGERS AND PATIENT’S SKIN MOVE AS ONE.

• IT IS USED TO LOOSEN OR BREAK UP UNDERLYING ADHESIONS OF HEALED SCAR TISSUES

TECHNIQUES OF SPORTS MASSAGE

• VIBRATION• FINE TREMULOUS

MOVEMENT MADE BY HANDS OR FINGERS TO CAUSE THE PART TO VIBRATE

INJURY MANAGEMENT THROUGH SPORT MASSAGE

• ATHELETES ALWAYS OVERUSE THEIR MUSCLES, CAUSING

• STRAIN• TEARS• IMBALANCES IN THE SOFT MUSCLES TISSUES

• THE MORE INJURY IS IGNORED

INJURY MANAGEMENT THROUGH SPORT MASSAGE

• ONE WAY TO ENCOURAGE MUSCLE REPAIR AFTER TRAINING IS WITH SPORTS MASSAGE.

• SPORTS MASSAGE WILL HELP RELEASE ANY BUILT UP TENSION AND LACTIC ACID IN THE OVERWORKED MUSCLES SO THAT BLOOD AND OXYGEN CAN RETURN TO THE MUSCLE AND EFFECTIVELY PROMOTE MUSCLE REPAIR.

• SPORTS MASSAGE IF RECEIVED AS PARTS OF A SPORTS PROGRAMME, CAN HELP AN ATHELETE PREVENT INJURY DUE TO OVERUSE

PRE-EVENT MASSAGE

• USUALLY BRIEF AND INVIGORATING (sekejap & menyegarkan)

• LASTING 15-20 MINUTES

• IT IS GIVEN WITHIN AN HOUR BEFORE THE SPORTING EVENT

POST-EVENT MASSAGE

• SHOULD BE CALMING AND RELAXING

• ITS GOAL IS:- TO REDUCE INFLAMMATION. TO RELIEVE MUSCLES PAIN BY DECREASING TENSION TO RELIEVE MUSCLE SORENESS BY DISPENSING LACTIC

ACID

• MASSAGE SHOULD LAST NO MORE THAN 20 MINUTES.

MASSAGE PROCEDURES

• MASSAGE TECHNIQUES MUST BE CARRIED OUT IN SEQUENCE.

• BEGINS WITH:-

1)EFFLEURAGE>

2)PETRISSAGE>

3)CIRCULAR FRICTION/MUSCLE STRIPPING>

4)TRIGGER POINTS>

5)FINISHING OFF WITH EFFLEURAGE

MASSAGE PROCEDURES1) WASH HANDS

2) GIVE UNDIVIDED ATTENTION

3)SHOULD NOT UNLOAD YOUR OWN PERSONAL PROBLEMS ON ATHELETE

BENEFITS & EFFECTS OF MASSAGEPHYSICAL EFFECTS

- PUMPING BLOOD

-INCREASED TISSUE PERMEABILITY BY OPENING THE TISSUE PORES

-STRETCH TISSUES AND FASCIA

-BREAK DOWN SCAR TISSUES

-IMPROVE TISSUE ELASTICITY BY STRETCHING THE HARD AND INELASTIC TISSUES

-OPENS MICRO-CIRCULATION

BENEFITS & EFFECTS OF MASSAGE

PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS

- PAIN REDUCTION BY RELEASING THE BODIES ENDORPHINS

- RELAXATION –MUSCLE RELAX THROUGH

HEAT GENERATED,CIRCULATION AND STRETCHING.

-MECHANORECEPTORS WHICH SENSE TOUCH, PRESSURE, TISSUE LENGTH AND WARMTH ARE STIMULATED,CAUSING A REFLEX RELAXATION.

BENEFITS & EFFECTS OF MASSAGE

PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS1.ANXIETY REDUCTION

– THROUGH THE EFFECTS MENTIONED ABOVE RELAXATION IS INDUCED AND SO REDUCES ANXIETY LEVELS

2.INVIGORATING

– IF MASSAGE IS DONE WITH BRISK MOVEMENTS

CONTRAINDICATIONS• GOUT

• BURNS

• BURSITIS

• CONTUSIONS

• OPEN WOUNDS • • MUSCLE RUPTURES

• TENDON RUPTURES

• INFECTIONS OF THE SKIN AND SOFT TISSUES
