Results are improved if trigger points are __________ ___________ MET is applied.

Who was Dr Herman Kabat?
Another term for cross fiber friction.
What is transverse friction?
J strokes are an example of what type of myofascial technique?
What are direct?
This theory states that the muscle relaxes as soon as an isometric mucle contraction is released.
What is postisometric relaxation?
Developed the Strain Counterstrain Technique by accident.
Who was Dr Lawrence Jones
These cells synthesize components of connective tissue including collegen, elastin, reticular fibers and ground substance.
What are fibroblasts?
Where is T11-L1?
Developed the rapid rhythmic resistive duction technique.
Who was Dr TJ Ruddy?
The muscle that assists the agonist.
What is synergist?
Fascia is hydrated better with the ability to be elastic and more easily stretched and lengthened during this state.
What is the sol state?
The ability of a substance to soften as a result of warmth, pressure, manipulation, and to harden in the absence of the same.
What is Thixotropy?
This is the most common MET technique used to relax constricted and hyperonic muscles.
What is contract relax OR agonist contract?
Position release is a(an) direct/indirect method of treatment, meaning the body part is moved away from the resistance barrier and toward a position of ease.
What is indirect?
The medium for transport of nutrients, cellular wastes, hormones, antinodies and gases between bloodstream and the cells.
What is ground substance?
Which MET takes advantage of a physiological process known as reciprocal inhibition?
What is antagonist contract?
Depending on the intended outcome of the MET, the force applied by the therapist can be:
a)equal to that of the client
b)less than that of the client
c)overcome the client
d)all of the above
What is d) all of the above?
Which of the following bodywork systems do NOT incorporate Position Release?
a)Ortho bionomy
b)Trager Method
c)structure/muscle balancing
d)strain counterstrain
What is Trager Method?
Every muscle cell is surrounded by this and arranged parallel with other muscle cells into bundles or fascicles.
What is endomysium?
The neuromuscular process of muscles protecting an injured area.
What is splinting?
Which of the following is NOT on of the main variations of MET techniques effective in lengthening tense and shortened muscles?
a) agonist contract
b)relax contract
c)contract relax contract the opposite
d)antagonist contract
What is b) relax contract?
Jones & Chaitow suggest holding a position after the preferred position is acheived for this long.
What is 60-90 seconds?
Restricted fascia is indicated in all of the following EXCEPT:
a)elevated ilium
b)tilted pelvis
c)rotated shoulder
d)extended phalanges
What are d) extended phalanges?
When used as a myofascial technique, this is a longitudinal stretch, usually of an extremity to gently stretch and release fascial restrictions throughout the limb.
What is traction?
When a muscle acting on a joint is contracted, the muscle resposible for the opposite action is inhibited.
What is reciprocal inhibition?
What is slowly?
Stimulating these receptors inhibits sympathic activity.
What are Ruffini Type II?
Collagen fibers in connective tissue generate this; that is conducted through the connective tissue.
What is piezoelectricity?
In the antagonist contract technique, each contraction is held for:
What is 7-10 seconds?
The prime mover muscle
What is the agonist?
Another term for fascial glide
What is tissue excursion?
A stroke that can be used to elongate contracted muscles or to stretch, separate, and align constricted fascia.
What is a J stroke?
If a MET technique is causing the client pain, the therapist should do what?
What is stop the MET?
This healing system integrates techniques from several bodywork systems, including those of Drs Lawrence Jones and Arthur Pauls
What is stuctural muscle balancing?
This technique of myofascial massage helps reduce adhesions between fascial sheaths while at the same time encouraging the formation of strong, pliable scar tissue at the site of injury.
What is cross fiber friction?
This MET is a manipulation that may effectively reduce fibrosis and involves a resistance that overpowers the muscle contraction.
What is isolytic MET?
PMET increases/decreases circulation.
What is increases?
The muscle that performs the opposite movement of the agonist.
What is the antagonist?
Skin rolling is an example of this type of myofascial technique
What is indirect?
Position Release Techniques are also known as this.
What are passive position techniques?
The areas where fascia transverses the body cavities include all of the following EXCEPT:
a)latissimus dorsi
b)pelvic floor
c)respiratory diaphragm
d)thoracic inlet
What is latissimus dorsi?
