Exercise therapy; Massage
Now, without altering the position of the legs or feet, turn the trunk
over to the left side, as far as possible, so that the chest and
shoulders are facing squarely to the left. Thus this time a half turn is
made. While in this position, stroke downward on the back in the same way
as when the body was turned toward the other side (Fig. 6 C and D).
Alternate by turning to the right, that is, half a turn from the last
posture, etc.
_This exercise done five times will take about ten seconds. If
counting every time the trunk is turned to the side, it will be
ten counts._
_Analysis and Effects of the Combined Massage Exercise No. 6_
This exercise is combined in such a way that there is obtained the
movements of the arms and the turning of the upper body to each side,
together with massage of the lower back and buttocks.
The movements of the body and the arms and hands in applying the massage
movements exercise the muscles and nerves of the arms, the shoulders,
the upper chest, the upper and lower back, the hips and the sides of the
body. They also influence the kidneys.
The massage influences the muscles, nerves and vessels of the lower back
and buttocks, and also the kidneys, bladder and liver and, through the
back, the nerves leading to the abdominal organs.
THE COMBINED MASSAGE EXERCISE No. 7
With the exception of the vibratory-pushing-movements of the tissues over
the region of the heart and liver and a new arm movement, this exercise
is a combination of some of the most important movements of other
exercises in this volume, which are here executed in a different order.
This is done, first, to get one of the most important and concentrated
exercises in the middle of the course, and secondly, so that it can be
used when there is time for only one or two exercises, thus serving the
benefit of as many of the most important movements as possible, in the
shortest time.

in exercise No. 3. (_The massaging of the left leg and across the abdomen
has likewise not been illustrated as it is similar to the massaging of
the right leg and across the abdomen._)
