GENERAL ROLLING AND SHAKING OF THE
MUSCLES OP THE EXTREMITIES.

position by steadying the hand on a table or the back of a chair.
Both hands of the operator are placed lightly on the arm, and
are moved quickly round it as they pass up and down two or

This manipulation should be used after petrissage, but may
also be given alone in cases where there is no cause for a more
special treatment of any particular muscle.
