NASM CES- CH. 3 Inhibitory Techniques Exam 2023 What is a common compensation when using the myofascial roller in a prone position? Excessive arch in the lumbar spine Toes turning out Knee valgus Posterior pelvic tilt - Answer ️️ -Excessive arch in the lumbar spine A new client, Tommy, is just learning to use the myofascial roller. He asks how much pain should be felt while performing Step 1 of the myofascial rolling program. What is the best response? There should be some discomfort, but he should be able to relax and breathe. There should be maximal discomfort. There should be no discomfort. Instruct Tommy to hold his breath and apply as much pressure as tolerable to the roller. - Answer ️️ -There should be some discomfort, but he should be able to relax and breathe. What is the recommended range of frequency (days per week) for self-myofascial rolling? Performing myofascial rolling between two and five times per week may be enough to experience benefits. Performing myofascial rolling between one and three times per week may be enough to experience benefits. Performing myofascial rolling only on the days training may be enough to experience benefits. There are no recommendations for frequency of self-myofascial rolling. - Answer ️️ - Performing myofascial rolling between two and five times per week may be enough to experience benefits. What are the common neurophysiological mechanisms of myofascial rolling that result in decreased pain? Roller pressure may modulate pain through stimulation of muscle and cutaneous receptors, afferent central nociceptive pathways (gate theory of pain), and descending anti-nociceptive pathways (diffuse noxious inhibitory control). Roller pressure may increase viscosity, decrease pain, increase myofascial restriction, and decrease fluid changes. Roller pressure may create greater myofascial relaxation or "stretch tolerance" through central nervous system (CNS) afferent input from the Golgi tendon reflex, gamma loop modulation, and mechanoreceptors. Roller pressure may increase viscosity, create myofascial restriction, increase pain, and increase cellular responses. - Answer ️️ -Roller pressure may modulate pain through stimulation of muscle and cutaneous receptors, afferent central nociceptive pathways (gate theory of pain), and descending anti-nociceptive pathways (diffuse noxious inhi
