1. Gastrocnemius and soleus






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






3. Hamstrings - extensors of lumbar spine - quadriceps - hip flexors - hip abductors - internal rotators






4. Muscular effort that results in joint movement - due to the shortening of contracting muscle tissue






5. Is uses the power of water - hot or cold - bubbly or still to sooth - invigorate - or stimulate. It's really very much like a massage - only water






6. Nerve fibers which carry impulses to muscles






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






8. 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

10. 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






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






12. Hamstrings - extensors of lumbar spine - quadriceps - hip flexors - hip abductors - internal rotators






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






14. The theory of body zone is fundamental. it is believed that each of ten zones terminates in of your toes - and each organ - gland - bone or muscle in a particular zone has it reflex point in the corresponding zone of the foot - hand and arch. by mass






15. 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






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






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






18. Proper alignment of head on spine to correct physical misalignments - attitudes and behaviors

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






21. Relaxation of a muscle caused by a strong sustained stretch of the muscle itself






22. 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






23. Muscular effort that results in joint movement - due to the shortening of contracting muscle tissue






24. 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






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

36. Muscular effort which does not result in joint movement; the force does not move the resistance






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






38. Apply pressure to a sensitive trigger point buried in the muscles of the back - neck - chest - buttocks - arms - legs - face and feet by using their fingers - knuckles - elbows. this technique as the power to bring relief from the aches and pains cau
