Question

Massage movements should be directed.

Select the correct response:
from the insertion of the muscle toward its origin
away from both the insertion of the muscle and its origin
from the origin toward the insertion of the muscle
from the insertion of the muscle toward the attachment point

Answer 1

Massage movements should be directed from the insertion of the muscle toward its origin.

Step-by-step explanation:

Massage movements should be directed from the insertion of the muscle toward its origin. This means that the massage strokes should go towards the place where the muscle starts or originates, rather than moving in the opposite direction. For example, when massaging the quadriceps muscle in the thigh, the strokes should be directed from the knee (insertion) towards the hip (origin) of the muscle.
