1. Reduction of activity as a result of an antagonistic stimulation






2. Extensors of lumbar spine - thoracic spine-pectorals and thoracic flexibility






3. Developed in Eastern bloc countries as a way for athletes to block out the pain of physical competition. Therapists use some of the specific techniques that a regular massage therapist may not use






4. Pectorals and intercostals - forearm flexors - hand and finger flexors - upper arms






5. Originally developed primarily as a medical treatment - emphasizes several basic strokes applied to the soft tissues of the body - often quite vigorously. Therapists endeavor to threat the mind and spirit as well as the body in their work






6. Nerve fibers which carry impulses to muscles






7. Pectorals and intercostals - forearm flexors - hand and finger flexors - upper arms






8. Geared towards restoring normal or at least functional movement. it helps evaluate normal movement and recognize and correct abnormal movement






9. A serious of stylized movements to improve balance - timing and coordination. slow - continuous movement is used with the spine as the vertical axis and center of gravity in the lower abdomen

25. Nerve fibers which carry info (impulses) to the central nervous system






26. Nerve fibers which carry info (impulses) to the central nervous system






27. Mental - auditory or visual fixation - an attitude of passive expectancy - a relaxed posture - and a quiet environment with optional eye closure are used to induce a relaxed state with the responses of parasympathetic nervous system dominance






28. Nerve fibers which carry impulses to muscles






29. The network of nerves going to and from the brain; includes afferent and efferent






30. The brain and spinal cord






31. Process by which we are aware of our internal or external env






32. Alternate tensing and relaxing of respiratory - forehead - eye and vocalizing muscles to induce physical and mental relaxation






33. Abrupt change in the env of excitable tissue causing changes specific to that tissue






34. Mental - auditory or visual fixation - an attitude of passive expectancy - a relaxed posture - and a quiet environment with optional eye closure are used to induce a relaxed state with the responses of parasympathetic nervous system dominance
