WARNING! The description of the procedures is indicative-mnemonic and is strictly addressed to learners, because it is imperative for the Yumeiho® instructors to acquire and apply them correctly, efficiently and without risk. The order and description of the procedures is in line with “YUMEIHO” – Instruction Manual for g. 1 – Krakow, 1997.
The therapist straddles the patient’s left leg and massages the thigh from the gluteal fold to the popliteal area. The surface of the thigh is pressed perpendicularly with the overlapped thumbs. When the pushing ends the intensity of the pressure is kept constant and continued with pulling motions towards the heel within the limits of the tissue elasticity. There are 8-10 points massaged twice, on the midline of the thigh and once on the internal and external lines. The intensity of the pressure is gradual depending on the tolerability and the muscular tone of the patient. The fingers of both hands must grab the thigh throughout the entire procedure.
The therapist moves his own body so that he can ensure a vertical pressure towards each point.
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.
