🗑
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  
🗑
