This exercise is combined in such a manner that there is obtained the
movements of the arms and the bending of the body sideways, together with

and the lower chest.
The movements of the body and arms and hands in applying the massage
movements, exercise the muscles and nerves of the arms, the shoulders,
the back, the sides, the lower chest and breasts and the abdomen. They
also slightly influence the liver, the stomach, the intestines and
