The therapist places the external edge of his left sole on the patient’s armpit, as close to thorax as possible. With his right hand, he grabs the patient’s left-hand joint, and with the left hand, he stretches the left hand fingers one by one. Firm pulling and stretching motions should be performed. Then the patient’s left upper limb is slightly pulled two times.

This description presents the manner in which the procedure is performed on the left side of the patient. Similarly, the same steps are followed on the right side. In the standard version, the procedure is first performed on the left side and then on the right side.
