Comments on Reprint of Chart No. 20 from Book III
This chart emphasizes the thumb contact on the head of the femur for all hip and sacral correction, while the patient is lying on the side. It is extremely valuable and quite different from other methods.
FIGURE 3 presents a lateral view of the correction of the right anterior sacral base, with the thumb on the head of the femur.
The contact is with the first two fingers on the apex of the sacrum, on the same side.
The leg is a little above right angles to the body, as shown in this illustration.
Force is not necessary nor should it be exerted, as this gives easily when the condition is there and the position is right.
FIGURES 4 and 5 present polarity reflex areas in the hands and feet, which are sometimes very helpful in relaxing spastic muscles of the back before other corrections are made, and can also be used for polarization after other corrections are made. This is a valuable treatment in painful lumbago cases which are so plentiful everywhere these days.
