I called Nationwide Medical after my current CPAP supplier was no longer an approved Medicare vendor. I gave all my information to the man I spoke to, including the model and serial numbers of the machine I was using, my doctor's names and phone numbers, and my Medicare number.
REM rebound. REM rebound is the lengthening and increasing frequency and depth of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep which occurs after periods of sleep deprivation. When people have been prevented from experiencing REM, they take less time than usual to attain the REM state.
Soft Tissue Mobilization. It is important to recognize the role of muscles and their attachments around the joints. Muscle tension can often decrease once joint motion is restored, but many times the spasm will continue to be present. In such cases, muscle tension should be addressed or the joint dysfunction may return. The goal of soft tissue mobilization (STM) is to break up inelastic or fibrous muscle tissue (called 'myofascial adhesions') such as scar tissue from a back injury, move tissue fluids, and relax muscle tension.
