6. Flex the knees and elevate the hips, resting the body on shoulders and feet. Move slowly up and down ten times, holding to count ten. 7. Elbows flexed to the sides, hands grasped by an assistant and slowly brought to a horizontal position parallel with the head, patient resisting. Bring them back to the sides, assistant resisting, ten times. 8. Same, only bring arms to a perpendicular position. 9. Reclining, face downward, flex knees and sway feet from right to left fifteen times. 10. With the help of an assistant, flex and extend the limbs, using resistance as in No. 7. 11. Rest on elbows, and sway shoulders from right to left ten times. 12. Elevate the body slowly five times, resting only on toes and elbows. Hold to count ten. 13. Recline on back and make hand thrusts, with or without weights, upward, outward, forward and downward. 14. Same position, flex and thrust the limbs downward alternately. 15. Kneel face downward, gradually raise the hips until the whole weight rests upon the shoulders. Remain in this position for five minutes. This is invaluable for prolapsus and retroversion, and should be resorted to several times a day. One may get the position more readily by sliding off from a bed or lounge head first; relatively, standing on one’s head. 16. Lie face downward on two stools, 18 to 24 inches apart, resting the knees upon one and the shoulders upon the other, five minutes. 17. Same position; have an assistant knead the bowels by gentle pressure with clenched fists five minutes. 18. Same position, elevating hips five times. The last three are quite severe, but if there is strength to adopt them, they are valuable in retroversion of the womb. If there is no pelvic inflammation, and it is required to aid digestion and develop the muscles of trunk, the following are invaluable: 19. Sit upon a stool, feet firmly upon the floor, hands upon sides, hips firm; sway body from side to side as far as possible. 20. Same position, hands clasped over the head; sway body backward and forward. 21. Same position; combine Nos. 19 and 20 in a twisting motion of the body. The effect of the three last can be varied by holding one or both hands perpendicularly over the head. 22, 23, 24. Same as 19, 20 and 21, only standing position. The beneficial effects are increased in the six last by inflating the lungs.
