A. Soft tissue injuries result in inflammation. Describe what happens at each stage of the inflammatory response and explain why. (7 marks)
For the answer, just go into the notes I gave you about the immune system, look at the inflammation part and this is what you are expected to answer.

B. Explain the difference between a sprain and a strain (3 marks)
There is a whole section on the Virtual Campus on pathology and massage recommendations.
Sprain https://bodyologymassagecourses.co.uk/forum/module/34191-sprain
Strain https://bodyologymassagecourses.co.uk/forum/module/34190-strain
As you can read, there are differences between the two. Strain is injury to muscles or tendon, sprain is injury to ligament, ect.

C. Describe how you would massage these conditions and give your reasons why (5 marks)
The same section above (strain and sprain) also have the massage recommendations, You have also done those on homework, and you did it well.

With as much as I would love to support, there is the issue of duplications. yes, you are right. Sometimes the marking scheme are 'odd' but unfortunately I don't have those from MTI, otherwise I would give it to students.
Hope this is ok ish.
