Question: T/F: effleurage reflex effects can create a sedative effecte reducing pain and mm HT -
CORRECT ANSWER✔✔true
Question: which is used as a transitional stroke?
(effleurage, petrissage, stroking, muscle squeezing) - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔effleurage
Question: T/F: treating distal to inflammation, injury site or infection is okay to proceed with
caution when performing effleurage - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔false - it is CI
Question: what technique standard: primarily increases efficiency of circulation, loosens mm
fibers in local area
(effleurage, petrissage, stroking, muscle squeezing) - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔petrissage
Question: what type of petrissage: small degree of torque at centre part, pressure is superficial
but can change how much
(wringing, slow kneading, mm squeezing, fast kneading, mm stripping, picking up, skin rolling) -
CORRECT ANSWER✔✔wringing
Q:T/F: there are 4 principles of massage - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔true
, Page 2 of 20
Question: What principle of massage does this relate to: allow client to accommodate to
touch, enable you to palpate, start treatment
(superficial/deep/superficial, effleurage, petrissage, general/specific/general) - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔superficial - deep - superficial
Question: What principle of massage does this relate to: coordinate the transitions as you work
deeper and superficial
(superficial/deep/superficial, effleurage, petrissage, general/specific/general) - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔general - specific - general
Question: What principle of massage does this relate to: if outcome is to enhance return of
lymph/venous blood, centripetal pressure
(superficial/deep/superficial, effleurage, proximal/distal/proximal, general/specific/general) -
CORRECT ANSWER✔✔proximal - distal - proximal
Question: What principle of massage does this relate to: circumscribe area of local pathology
(periphery/centre/periphery, effleurage, petrissage, general/specific/general) - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔periphery - centre- periphery
Question: T/f: massage has both mechanical and reflex effects - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔true
Question: Which effect of massage: mediated by nervous system, peripheral receptors send
impulses to centres in brain and spinal cord caution a local/systemic response
(reflex, mechanical, nutritional, chemical) - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔reflex effect
, Page 3 of 20
Question: Which effect of massage: a neuromuscular technique to stimulate proprioceptors
(reflex, mechanical, nutritional, chemical) - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔reflex effect
Question: Which effect of massage: passive movement can either sedate or awaken, enhances
jt awareness, becomes aware of unnecessary mm tension
(reflex, mechanical, nutritional, chemical) - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔reflex effect
Question: Which effect of massage: caused by physically moving tissues through compression,
stretch, shear, bend, twisting
(reflex, mechanical, nutritional, chemical) - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔mechanical
Question: Which effect of massage: a neuromuscular technique that compresses or stretches
mm fibers, pushing fluid in vessels which pass through mm
(reflex, mechanical, nutritional, chemical) - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔mechanical
Question: Which effect of massage: the passive movement of compression and release of soft
tissues may produce modest increase in lymphatic and venous return
(reflex, mechanical, nutritional, chemical) - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔mechanical
Question: T/F: both mechanical and reflex effects have neuromuscular techniques and passive
movements - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔true
