PHYSIOLOGICAL BENEFITS

 

CIRCULATORY SYSTEM

  • Through its mechanical action on the soft tissues, produces a reflex vasodilatation of the blood vessels, thus increasing local circulation. From this primary effect, the following changes are also produced.
  • Reduces ischemia (lack of blood), therefore reduces pain due to chemical irritation of free nerve endings.
  • Speeds elimination of metabolites (waste products of metabolism) from local tissues, thereby relieving tissue congestion.
  • Helps to reduce edema (swelling) in local tissues and extremities. Promotes dispersal of metabolic waste products and absorption of excess inflammatory exudate. It may be used to reduce edema, preventing fibrosis and possible subsequent adhesion formation.
  • Increases the number of red blood cells in circulation.
  • Increases general nutrition of the tissues. Brings about an increased exchange of fluids and materials between the blood stream and the tissue’s cells enhancing cell metabolism and removal of wastes.
  • Increases peripheral circulation from its local mechanical effect.
  • The initial circulatory stimulation causes a slight increase in blood pressure followed by an overall lowering of blood pressure.
  • Helps to facilitate tissue healing through its enhancement of circulation.
  • Reduces pulse rate.
  • Increase the systolic stroke volume.
  • Can break the cycle of spasm and pain, decreasing both.
  • Enhances vasodilatation.

NERVOUS SYSTEM

  • Stimulates the touch, pressure, and proprioceptive receptors of the skin and underlying tissue.
  • Sedative, stimulating, effect on the nervous system depending on the type and length of treatment given.
  • Reduces sympathetic stimulation and helps to balance the autonomic nervous system.
  • Relaxes the muscles and helps to reestablish proper tonus through its effect on the neuromuscular reflex pathways.
  • Affects the neurotransmitters of the brain and increases endorphin secretion in particular.
  • Can reduce nerve entrapment through the release of soft tissue or muscle binding.

 

LYMPHATIC SYSTEM

  • Increases tissues fluid and lymphatic circulation thus reducing edema and enhancing the immune and filtering activities of this system.
  • Increases venous and lymphatic flow.

 

SKIN

  • Helps to reduce tension in the skin and adjoining tissues as well as increase its circulation.

 

MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEMS

  • Increases blood supply and nutrition to muscles and speeds the elimination of metabolic wastes including lactic acid. Thus, it helps muscles recover more quickly from exertion and fatigue.
  • Relaxes muscles, reducing spasm, tension, and cramping.
  • Improves muscle tone and helps prevent, or delay, muscular atrophy resulting from inactivity.
  • Reduces adhesions and fibrosis thus freeing muscle fibers and fascia (connective tissue) from restrictive binding.
  • Can stretch the connective tissue, rearrange its shape, and reduce myofascial strain and chronic shortening.
  • Improves circulation and nutrition of the joints, increases joint range of motion.
  • Helps to reestablish proper tone in the muscles through its effect on the proprioceptive reflexes.
  • Reduces muscle and soft tissue pain and can reduce and eliminate “trigger points”.
  • Reduces joint strain and compression through releasing tight muscles and tendons.
  • Increases case and efficiency of movement.
  • Supports increased work capacity and metabolism.
  • Can stimulate muscle contraction.

 

EXCRETORY SYSTEM

  • Increases the excretion (via the kidneys) of fluids and waste products.
  • Can facilitate elimination through the large intestine by mechanically stimulating peristalsis and improving tone.

 

RESPIRATORY SYSTEM

  • Deepens and normalizes the breathing pattern through relaxation and release of tension in the breathing structures, both the rib cage and muscles of respiration.
  • Can be used to relieve congestion in the lungs through percussive and compressive movements.

 

BIOPHYSICAL EFFECTS

  • Increases oxygen intake of tissues.
  • Increases metabolism.
  • Increases pulmonary minute ventilation.

 

NEUROMUSCULAR EFFECTS

  • Analgesic
  • Elevates pain threshold.
  • Assists in resolution of muscle guarding.
  • Alters nerve conduction velocity.
  • In combination with exercise, enhances elasticity of connective tissues.
