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






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






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






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






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. Reduction of activity as a result of an antagonistic stimulation






7. Nerve fibers which carry impulses to muscles

17. 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






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






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






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






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






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. 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






24. Of or pertaining to the senses of sensation






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

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






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

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






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