The therapist sits on his knees framed by the patient’s legs placing the back of his hands on the patient’s heels which are strongly pressed towards the exterior. The motion is repeated two times, first being performed slowly and carefully, testing the patient’s tolerance limit. Then the procedure is performed up to the maximum usual limit of the movement slightly forcing above it through a short firm movement.
