Most pressure is given with the thenar, the thumb andthe second finger, while the other fingers glide more lightlyon the side of the erector spinse. Downward effleurage canalso be done with the right hand, the thumb and secondfinger on the left side, the others on the right side of thespinous processes, while the left hand increases the pressureby assisting the right hand (Fig. 31). The lateral motionabove the crest is intended for the connection of the lymphaticsystem of the erector spinse with the lymphatic glands of thegroin; it also takes hold of the lateral lumbar muscles. Thenthe hands begin from the lower end of the erector spinseand glide upward in a similar way, closing with an effleurageof the posterior muscles of t
