| procedure | Physiological effect | Therapeutic application | where to perform | How to perform |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Passive touch | temp change, reflex effect, subtle electric effect | relieve hyperasthesia of head and joints, relieve insomnia, quiet nervous irritability | face, forehead, distal extremity, back | lightly touching the part operated upon with one or more fingers, with the whole hand, or with both hands |
| Pressure touch | mechanical, reflex | relieve headache, relieve joint pain, relieve congestion and pain from swelling | head, webbing btw thumb and finger, joints, muscle knots, feet | m aking light or heavy pressure with the whole of one or both hands or with one or more fingers |
| Nerve compression | gentle pressure stimulates, strong pressure sedates Reflex | Sciatica, neuralgia, paralysis, stimulate body function | sciatica, crural area, face, spine, intercostals | strong pressure made upon a nerve trunk or upon it's course |
| Stroking | Reflex | diminish blood supply through reflex effects | (blank) | tips of 2 or more fingers or the entire palmar surface, moved gently over the skin with light contact, follows arterial flow |
| digital stroking | sedative effect, relieve cutaneous congestion | relief from insomnia, nervous headache, hypersensitivity, inflamation, morbid sensations, formication, muscle spasm & pain of a fracture or sprain, | forehead and spine | The tip of one finger may be used, or the tips of all the fingers of one or both hands. The fingers are held very slightly apart, a little curved and in a flexible condition, so that the fingers will fall into a light contact with the surface. |
| Palmar stroking | sedative, relieve cutaneous congestion | hypnotic effect, same as digital stroking | broad fleshy areas, joints, feet | pressure slightly less than the weight of the hand, very light contact in the direction of the arteries |
| knuckle stroking | stimulation | excite posterior branches of spinal nerves and stimulate spinal centers | back mostly | knuckles applied to the surface with a pressure slightly greater than that of the hand. |
| reflex stroking | powerful stimulation of nerve centers governing organs, may cause muscular contraction | spinal anemia, lung and respiratory disfunction, motor insufficiencty of the stomache, constipation and relaxed abdominals, digestive and urinary problems | interscapular, axillary, abdominalm cremesteric, gluteal, plantar | gently stroking the sensitive part with the fingernail, the end of a lead pencilm a wooden toothpick, or the head of a pin. |
| Friction | mechanical and reflex effects | alternate with other applications defects in circulation, inflamation, edema, dropsy, sprains, glandular enlargements, insomnia due to congestion, skin problems, hidebound, dingy tawny, jaundice, cold or inactive | all parts of body | stroking combined with pressure |
| Kneading | stimulates ALL activities of the part, mechanical - suction/pump action on blood and lymph, stimulates heat production | Superficial - dropsy and general edema,jaundice, inactive, dry or hidebound skin - deep - paralysis/paresis, enlarged, stiff joints, muscular rheumism, neurasthenia, sciatica, neuralgia, locomotor ataxia, closed lymph vessels, writers cramp, fracture | all body parts | alternate and intermittent compression of tissues, by grasping or compressing against bone |
| Percussion | excites skin and deeper tissues, short, light = constricted blood vessels, pallor - stron/prolonged= dilation of blood vessels, hyperemia, vasomotor centers | skin stimulation, sciatica, lumbago, coldness of extrem, constipation, lack of tone in bladder, respiratory issues | all over body | both hands in alternation to deliver blows with a springy supple wrist, striking transversley to muscles |
| vibration | stimulating - most muscle contraction, tingling, increased circulation, temp, dilation of blood vessels | paralysis/paresis, sclerosis, neuralgia and neurasthenia vasomotor =disturbances | all over body | fine vibratory/shaking movements communicated thru the hands, placed against or grasping tissues |
| joint movement | derivative effects upon neighboring parts, increased blood to the joint | chronic joint diseases | at all joints | simple motions of the joint performed by the manipulator, without effort on the patients part. movement should produce a feeling of resistance |
