Thai massage originated over 2,500 years ago in India and was brought to Thailand. It combines passive yoga-like stretches and positions with pressure point massage. The therapist gently rocks and applies varying degrees of pressure to create harmony in the body's energy. Thai massage promotes relaxation, flexibility, circulation, and mind-body focus. A standard session lasts about an hour while clients are fully clothed on a mat.
The document discusses pain, including its definition, types, and pathways in the body. It defines pain as an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage. Pain is classified into acute, chronic, and prechronic stages. The pain pathway involves transduction, transmission, modulation, and perception of pain signals in the body. Psychosocial factors like anxiety, depression, learning, and attention can influence pain perception. The Gate Control Theory proposes that psychological factors interact with physiological processes at the spinal cord to regulate pain experience.
This document provides an overview of spasticity including:
- Definitions of spasticity and tone as the continuous partial contraction of muscles at rest.
- Pathophysiology involving an imbalance between excitatory and inhibitory signals to motor neurons due to lack of descending inhibition.
- Characteristics including increased resistance to passive movement and hyperactive stretch reflexes.
- Factors that can aggravate spasticity like pain, stress, and infection.
- A spectrum of care including oral drugs, rehabilitation, intrathecal baclofen, and neurosurgery to manage spasticity based on individual needs.
The document summarizes various physiological effects of manipulative therapy and massage therapy based on existing research studies:
1) Massage therapy can reduce pain by activating the pain gate mechanism in the brain and stimulating pressure receptors to transmit messages faster than pain receptors. It can also increase serotonin levels and decrease cortisol to reduce pain and depression.
2) Research studies show that massage therapy can significantly reduce pain, anxiety, and tension in cardiac patients. It can also decrease pain and anxiety during labor while increasing satisfaction.
3) Additional benefits of massage therapy include improved sleep quality, reduced heart rate through increased vagal activity, enhanced blood flow through vasodilation, reduced blood viscosity, and increased weight gain and food absorption in
The relationship between surface EMG (sEMG) and muscle force is complex, depending on factors like motor unit recruitment and firing rates, muscle fiber type composition, fatigue, and dynamic conditions. In general, sEMG amplitude and muscle force increase proportionally with recruitment and higher firing rates. However, the exact shape of the sEMG-force relationship can vary between linear and non-linear depending on the individual muscle and contraction conditions. Dynamic contractions and muscle fatigue can further impact this relationship. While sEMG can provide an estimate of relative muscle force, many factors must be considered for accurate quantification.

Chiropractic is a form of alternative medicine that focuses on diagnosis and treatment of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine. It is based on the hypothesis that these disorders affect general health via nervous system interference. The founder was D.D. Palmer, and his son B.J. Palmer helped expand it in the early 20th century. Chiropractors believe that spinal misalignments called subluxations can cause health issues by interfering with the nervous system, and aim to correct subluxations through techniques like manipulation and mobilization to alleviate issues and promote healing.

History of Manual Therapy and ArthrologyChrisBacchus
The document provides a history of manual therapy, outlining important figures and developments from Hippocrates in 460 BC to current practice. It discusses the evolution of osteopathy, chiropractic, and physical therapy. Key developments include Andrew Still establishing osteopathy in the US in 1874, Daniel Palmer founding chiropractic in 1895, and the establishment of physical therapy programs and professional organizations in the early 20th century. Current manual therapy practice draws from various techniques and philosophies.
The document discusses motor control and various theories of motor control. It defines motor control as the ability to regulate movement and discusses five main theories: reflex theory, hierarchical theory, motor programming theory, systems theory, and ecological theory. It also discusses the physiology of motor control in the nervous system and how clinical practice has evolved parallel to developments in scientific theories of motor control. Theories provide frameworks to interpret behavior and guide clinical actions, but no single theory can fully explain motor control.
The skin is the largest sensory organ containing various receptors that detect touch, pressure, pain, warmth and cold. It has three layers - the epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous tissue. Sensory receptors in the skin include free nerve endings, Ruffini's ending, Krause and Meissner's corpuscles which transmit signals to the brain about various stimuli. The skin senses are important as they allow us to process tactile sensations and enhance survival by warning us about potential injuries through pain and pressure detection.
The document discusses the triphasic nature of muscle action, which consists of three phases - eccentric, isometric, and concentric. It explains that all dynamic movements begin with an eccentric muscle action, and emphasizes training the stretch reflex and stretch shortening cycle. The document also discusses different training methods like French contrast training and a triphasic undulating block model to effectively stress the muscles in different ways over time through concentrated loads, specificity, and systematic implementation of training parameters.
The document discusses motor control and motor learning. It defines motor control as the process of initiating, directing, and grading voluntary movement through the coordination of sensory and motor systems. Several theories of motor control are described, including reflex, dynamical systems, hierarchical, motor program, ecological, and systems theories. These theories propose different models for how movement is controlled, from stimulus-response reflexes to emergent patterns that self-organize based on environmental and body dynamics. The theories have implications for understanding normal and abnormal movement and rehabilitating motor skills.
Xavier Valle -Aspetar and FCB classification of muscle injuries MuscleTech Network
This document discusses developing a new classification system for muscle injuries. It aims to describe and grade injuries based on several factors: mechanism of injury, clinical prognosis factors, injury location and relation to muscle-tendon junctions (MTJs), imaging description of injury, amount of connective tissue damage, and time of evolution. A coding system is proposed using letters to indicate these different factors, such as mechanism (M), location (L), grade (G) based on percentage of cross-sectional area affected, and whether it is a re-injury (R). The system seeks to classify injuries of similar severity and prognosis but requires further validation through larger studies and collaboration.
Shock waves can have various biological effects depending on their energy level. Low-energy shock waves are used for cell regeneration and wound healing, while high-energy shock waves are used for lithotripsy and breaking bone non-unions. Shock waves can stimulate microcirculation, cell metabolism, and release of substances like nitric oxide and substance P. They may also have analgesic, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects through stimulation of growth factors and stem cells. Focused shock waves are used in urology for conditions like Peyronie's disease and erectile dysfunction, while radial shock waves target areas like tendinopathies and trigger points. Treatment involves multiple sessions with focused or radial shock waves at varying energy levels
Motor Learning is required for motor recovery after an injury to the motor system. This slides discussed the forms of motor learning and the theories of motor learning.
Pain is defined as an “unpleasant emotional experience usually initiated by a noxious stimulus and transmitted over a specialized neural network to the central nervous system where it is interpreted as such”.
Free nerve endings – responsible for carrying noxious stimulus from both superficial as well as deep somatic and visceral pain sensations therefore reffered as nociceptors
According to type of impulses they carry second order neuron can be classified as –
LOW THRESHOLD MECHANOSENSORY( ligth touch, pressure and Proprioception)
NOCIOCEPTIVE SPECIFIC ( Noxious stimulation)
WIDE DYNAMIC RANGE ( wide range of stimulus intensities from nonnoxious to noxious.
SILENT NOCICEPTORS (It is an afferent neuron that appear to remain or silent to any mechanical stimulation .These neuron become active with tissue injury and add to the nociceptive input entering the CNS.
Music can positively impact physical and mental health in several ways. It works on the brain and body by influencing neurotransmitters, brain waves, and hormones. Different genres like Indian classical music and its ragas can control brain waves and lead to favorable changes. Music therapy is a clinical practice that uses music to accomplish goals and address issues like stress, pain, communication, and rehabilitation. It works by assessing clients and designing music sessions to meet their needs. Overall, listening to and playing music can lower stress, aid recovery, boost mood, help sleep, reduce eating, and benefit heart health.
Music therapy is a clinical health profession that uses music interventions within a therapeutic relationship to address physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs. Music therapists assess clients' strengths and needs to design music sessions that utilize techniques like improvisation, songwriting, and music performance. Research shows music therapy can aid rehabilitation, stress management, pain relief, and self-expression. It has helped those with mental health issues, disabilities, Alzheimer's, and more. Studies find music can alter brainwaves and physiology to induce relaxation and health benefits.
Music therapy uses music to address physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs. It involves using music interventions within a therapeutic relationship to accomplish individualized goals. Music therapy is an evidence-based allied health profession that utilizes music's non-invasive properties to assess functioning and design treatment plans. Assessments evaluate areas like communication, cognition, motor skills, and social/emotional status through engaging clients in music activities like singing, moving, and playing instruments. The humanistic approach views individuals holistically and music therapy aims to facilitate skill development and transfer to daily life through strong motivators like music.
Music therapy has been shown to have benefits for numerous medical conditions. Studies have found that singing lessons improved pulmonary function and quality of life for COPD patients. Music therapy reduced anxiety and improved self-esteem and feelings of well-being for patients. Vibration therapy also led to reduced Parkinson's symptoms like rigidity and improved walking. Music may relieve pain and increase responsiveness to antidepressants by elevating pain thresholds. It can also reduce stress, anxiety, blood pressure and improve immune system function. The effects are likely strongest when the music matches a person's personal preferences.
Music therapy has a long history dating back to ancient times. It grew as a recognized field after World War II when musicians began visiting veterans' hospitals. Formal training programs were established in the 1940s and various organizations were formed to promote music therapy. It developed further in the 1950s-1970s with more programs and research. Music therapy can be used to address physical, cognitive, social, and emotional goals and is practiced with a variety of populations in multiple settings. Therapists employ different techniques including singing, playing instruments, improvisation, and rhythmic entrainment to facilitate changes in clients. [END SUMMARY]
Music therapy involves using music to accomplish individualized goals such as reducing stress and improving mood. It began in the 1940s and uses four main methods - receptive listening, re-creative activities like singing, improvisation, and composition. Music therapy can have mental, physical, and emotional benefits such as lowering blood pressure, improving communication, and managing pain. It is an evidence-based therapy that is growing in importance for treating conditions like depression and anxiety.

MUSIC THERAPY
AND
PARKINSON’S DISEASE
2. WHAT IS MUSIC THERAPY?
• An allied health profession like speech therapy and
occupational therapy
• Board-certified music therapists have completed a
minimum of a Bachelor’s Degree in Music Therapy,
a six-month clinical internship, and passed the
national board certification exam
• Music therapists use music intentionally to meet an
individual’s social, psychological, physical and
spiritual needs
• Client is involved in actively making music, and
NO PREVIOUS MUSICAL TRAINING IS NECESSARY
3. SYMPTOMS OF PD
ADDRESSED IN MUSIC THERAPY
1) Tremor
2) Muscular rigidity
3) Slowness and poverty of movement (bradykinesia
or hypokinesia)
4) Postural instability
5) Mood changes
6) Speech/language impairments
4. COMMON MUSIC THERAPY GOALS
• Maintain executive functions and attention
• Increase speech intelligibility, pitch, loudness
• Maintain existing skills and activities of daily living
• Maintain muscle strength and flexibility
• Decrease fall risk
• Enhance social interactions with family and care
staff
• Alleviate feelings of isolation, loneliness, anxiety,
and depression
5. MUSIC THERAPY INTERVENTIONS
• Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation (RAS) uses rhythmic
cueing to improve gait velocity, cadence, and
stride length.
• Program of 3 times per week for 3 weeks in home
showed significant increase in walking speed which
was maintained for 3-4 weeks.
• DEMONSTRATION: WHEN THE SAINTS GO MARCHING
6. MUSIC THERAPY INTERVENTIONS
• Rhythmic Speech Cuing
• Therapeutic Singing
• Oral Motor and Respiratory Exercises
• Vocal Intonation Therapy
• Studies have shown increase in speech intelligibility
and vocal intensity as a result of music therapy
interventions
7. MUSIC THERAPY INTERVENTIONS
• Therapeutic Instrumental Music Playing
Provides relief from tremors
• Hand drums: Come join the circle
• Paddle drums: Tandem drumming
8. MUSIC THERAPY INTERVENTIONS
• Music-Assisted Relaxation
• Stress is a response to change. Biologically, our
bodies work to maintain homeostasis. Our systems
oppose change with every means possible. We can
use our mind to assist the body maintain its internal
balance.
• Autogenic Relaxation: Angels Sleep
9. OUTCOMES
• Music provides structured environment for practicing executive function
skills and attentional skills, and can transfer into nonmusical activities
(MEFT & MACT)
• Music has helped clients achieve success in controlling speech rate and
enhancing intelligibility, increasing vocal intensity, and practicing
respiration and pitch (RSC, VIT, TS)
• Music assists PD patients in synchronizing to rhythmic stimuli gait
movements and improving walking patterns, posture, cadence, and
symmetric muscle activation (RAS)
• Music cues functional hand and arm movements and may help reduce
tremors for a short time. (PSE & TIMP)
• Group music therapy can promote positive and successful experiences
while interacting with others
