An informal poll of massage therapists by MASSAGE Magazine, via social networks, shows that professional massage practitioners have developed innovative techniques to gently correct people who use the outdated terminology to describe what they do.

Cerebellum Function. The Cerebellum, also known as âlittle brainâ, lies at the back side of the brain around the brain stem. The cerebellum is responsible for the control of the skeleton muscular system. It receives responses from various parts of the brain and directly handles visual and auditory functions. It also contributes in the basic memory storage and motor responses of the brain.
Between the cerebrum and brainstem lie the thalamus and hypothalamus. The thalamus relays sensory and motor signals to the cortex and is involved in regulating consciousness, sleep and alertness. The hypothalamus connects the nervous system to the endocrine system â where hormones are produced â via the pituitary gland. The cerebellum lies beneath the cerebrum and has important functions in motor control. It plays a role in coordination and balance, and may also have some cognitive functions.
