Massaging, with the left hand, from the lower left side of the upper
body and with the right hand from the upper right side of the upper body
simultaneously straight across the lower and upper chest respectively to
the reverse side and back again; at the same time turning the upper body
to right and left.
_Detailed Description_
_Position._—Standing erect, heels about five inches apart, feet
nearly parallel, legs and feet stationary.
[Illustration: EXERCISE NO. 14.
Fig. 14 A.
Fig. 14 B. Fig. 14 C.]
Place the left hand, with the four fingers and thumb close, transversely
on the lower left side of the body, underneath the line of the nipple or
breast, and in such a way that the fingers are pointing toward the middle
of the chest. Place the right hand in the same way on the upper right
side of the body, just underneath the armpits (Fig. 14 A).
Now, stroke with both hands, from each side at the same time, directly
across the chest and as far over on the opposite side as possible (Fig.
14 B and C). Stroke back again the same way.
The left hand thus strokes from the left side underneath the nipples
or breasts over on the right side and back again, while the right hand
strokes from the right side across the upper chest, over on the left side
and back again.
At the same time, turn the upper body slowly from side to side without
altering the position of the legs and feet. The turning of the body and
the stroking should be done evenly and not jerkingly.
_This exercise done five times will take about fifteen seconds.
If counting each time the trunk is turned to either side, it
will be ten counts._
Exercise No. 14 A
(_Combined with Rolling of the Trunk_)
The massaging over the chest as done in No. 14 may also be done, while
the trunk is rolled around in the following way:
Place the feet further away from each other—about ten inches.
Begin stroking the chest, as described. Without altering the position of
the legs and feet, bend the upper body forward; from there roll and bend
it over to the right, continuing rolling and bending it backward, then to
the left and around to the front, terminating in a forward bending. Stop
here and with the body still bent, roll in opposite direction, that is,
to the left, back, right and front.
The hands are, of course, stroking evenly across the chest during the
rolling.
The trunk may be rolled around first two or three times to the right, and
then two or three times to the left.
Three times each way around is equivalent to five executions.
_This exercise done five times will take about twenty seconds._
_Analysis and Effects of the Combined Massage Exercise No. 14_
This exercise is combined in such a way that there is obtained the
movements of the arms and the turning of the trunk, together with the
massage of the chest and the upper sides of the body.
