Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

Swedish massage: usually done with lotions or oils and includes long, gliding strokes; kneading; friction; tapping; and shaking motions on the upper or more superficial layers of the muscles.

Deep tissue massage: used to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body through deep muscle compression with the heel of the hand, the pads of the thumb, and even the elbow pressing deliberately along the grain of the muscle.

Myotherapy: also known as trigger-point therapy, is designed to reduce pain, relax muscle spasms, and improve circulation. Trigger points are diffused or erased by concentrated pressure applied to the trigger points for a short time (several seconds to two or three minutes) by the fingers, knuckles, and elbows.

Craniosacral therapy (CST): a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the function of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system, which is made up of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord and sustain the environment in which the nervous system functions.

Sports massage: a special type of massage focusing on muscle systems specific to the performance of athletes, to help them perform optimally without injuries.

Chair massage: also known as on-site massage or corporate massage, is administered while the person receiving the massage is fully clothed and seated in a specially designed chair.

Hot stone massage:
typically used by health spas, where stones are heated and positioned on specific locations on the body. The stones are gently moved to other locations on the body and light pressure is applied directly to the stones.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
