Exercise therapy; Massage
Now, bend the upper body, this time only slightly forward and cross the
left forearm over the right, thus placing the hands on the opposite lower
sides of the trunk and massage from there inward and upward over the
breast and upper chest as in exercise No. 5 (Fig. 7 E and F) or (Fig. 5 G
to J).
From there let the hands be brought around and stroke down each side of
the back and buttocks with the backs of the hands, as in exercise No. 5
(Fig. 7 G and H) or (Fig. 5 K and L).
Now, swing the out-stretched arms around to the front (Fig. 7 I), bend
the elbows (Fig. 7 J) and place the palms of the hands, with fingers
out-stretched and close together, on each opposite side of the lower
chest (Fig. 7 K) and while keeping the hands stationary on the skin,
quickly move or push this and the underlying tissues and muscles sideways
four times (Fig. 7 L).
_This exercise done five times will take about one minute._
_Notice_—The exercise should, like all the others, be executed so that
there is no pause between the various movements.
_Combined with Deep Breathing_
If the exercise is done slowly, deep breathing may be added in the
following way:
Inhale deeply and forcibly through the nose so that the lungs are filled
with air, while the hands are moving upward over the right leg and side
of hip and the body is being raised.
Exhale this air quickly and forcibly through the mouth, while continuing
massage over the abdomen to the left side, with the body bent slightly
forward.
Breathe through the nose in the same way, while the left hand strokes the
right arm and continues underneath the shoulder.
Exhale this air with force through the mouth, while the hand continues
down the right side and from there across the lower chest.
Inhale and exhale when massaging up over the left leg and hip and across
the abdomen in the same way as when the right leg and side were massaged.
Inhale and exhale again the same way, while the right arm is massaging
the left arm, side and across the lower chest as when the right arm was
massaged.
Breathe again with force through the nose, while massaging inward and
upward over the chest.
Retain this air in the lungs, while the backs of the hands are stroking
downward on each side of the back and buttocks and while the arms are
swinging around to the front.
Exhale this air through the mouth, while the hands are vibrating or
pushing the skin over the underlying tissues on each opposite side of the
lower chest, or on or underneath the breasts. Continue this movement with
the hands and do not release them until the lungs are completely emptied
of air.
_Analysis and Effects of the Combined Massage Exercise No. 7_
This exercise is combined in such a way that there is obtained the
movements of the arms, the bending and stretching of the legs and the
bending and raising of the body together with the massage of the arms,
sides, legs, hips, abdomen, chest and back.
