Answer to Question 1

2
Rolfing is a form of deep tissue massage and manipulation to correct body posture. Usually 10 sessions are required to completely restore the body's alignment. Shiatsu is a combination of acupressure, massage, stretching, and joint manipulation to unblock the flow of chi. Therapeutic massage will not break up scar tissue. Relaxation is not a type of massage.

Answer to Question 2

1
The ulnar surface of the hand is best for assessing vibrations which would be used to assess for a cardiac thrill. The dorsal aspect of the hand is best for assessing temperature. The fingertips are best for assessing fine sensation. A stethoscope is not used to assess for a cardiac thrill.
