After the procedures described above, the forearm is massaged as follows: along three lines (the median two times, the internal and external lines once per each) in c. 8 points, with the thumbs overlapped (pushing-pulling towards the hand joint) from near the elbow joint to the hand joint; the posterior – the therapist grabs the patient’s palm in his left palm and massages with the right hand thumb the extensor muscles of the fingers in c 8 to 10 points, three times. Technique detail: once the right-hand thumb presses on the point, the patient’s forearm is twisted clockwise with the left hand, thus acquiring a pushing-stretching on the points. It should be performed from near the elbow joint down to the hand joint, on the dorsal side, between radius and cubitus.
