Massaging transversely over the left shoulder, continuing downward over the upper left part of the chest with the right hand, then, in the same way, over the right shoulder and upper chest with the left hand. _Detailed Description_ _Position._—Standing erect. [Illustration: EXERCISE NO. 12. Fig. 12 A. Fig. 12 B.] With the four fingers and thumb close, place the right hand transversely over the left shoulder in such a way that the fingers are reaching as far down on the upper back as possible, the two or three first fingers resting between the inner border of the shoulder blade and the spine, and the thumb close to the base of the neck (Fig. 12 A). Stroke thus with the palm of the hand, the fingers pressing more or less between the shoulder blades and spine as they move upward, transversely over the shoulder, continuing down the same side of upper chest (Fig. 12 B). While the right hand is thus stroking the left shoulder and upper chest, the left arm and hand is brought across and up over the right forearm to the right shoulder, and this shoulder is massaged continuing downward over the upper part of the left chest, in the same way, as soon as the right arm is released from the left side of chest. The right hand is then again brought over the left shoulder and across the left forearm and that shoulder massaged, and so forth, alternately and evenly. _This exercise done five times will take about ten seconds. If counting each time when commencing to stroke each shoulder, it will be ten counts._ NOTE. Men may stroke downward over the chest as far as the diaphragm, if desired. Women should only stroke as far as the breasts, and not over them. _Analysis and Effects of the Combined Massage Exercise No. 12_ This exercise is combined in such a way that there is obtained the movements of the arms together with massage of the shoulders and the upper chest. The movements of the arms and hands, in applying the massage movements, exercise the muscles and nerves of the arms, the shoulders, the upper back and the upper chest. The massage influences the muscles, vessels and nerves of the shoulders and the upper chest. It increases the flow of blood to the muscles surrounding the lungs. This exercise, like No. 2, is especially beneficial for stiffness in the shoulders and upper chest, resulting from golf or other over-exertion in kindred sports. THE COMBINED MASSAGE EXERCISE No. 13 Massaging with each hand simultaneously upward over each opposite thigh, hip, lower side of body and inward and upward over nipples or breasts and upper chest and stroking down each side of the lower back and buttocks; at the same time, bending and raising the upper body. _Detailed Description_ _Position._—Standing erect, heels about eight inches apart, and feet nearly parallel, legs and feet kept stationary, knees straight.
