Contact Both pisiforms below the two transverses (caudad).After palpation which discloses the posterior transverse thehands are placed as follows: Palpating hand rests alwayson the side of the spine next the operator; opposite handcrosses the spine. Both are slanted upward so that thefingers point toward the head with the axes of the handslightly diverging above. The wrists are thus crossed insuch a way as to force the forearms to be somewhat flexedon the arms and to slant away from the wrists at an obtuseangle. This with the contact below the transverses, rendersit impossible not to force the vertebra in an upward (supe-rior) direction when movement is Fig. 25. Two linger double Technic of Adjusting 139 Movement A comparatively slow thrusting movement, which tendsto spring the spine. The merit of this method lies in itscomparative painlessness. Its technic is not attractive. TWO FINGER DOUBLE TRANSVERSE A movement for posterior or postero-rotary displace-ments from fourth to ninth Dorsal inclusive. It serves thesame purpose as the Pisiform Double Transverse but is lesspainful and often easier of delivery. The palmar surface ofthe fingers, with the flesh of the patients back, make a com-pound cushion which acts as a shock-absorber. Palpation—Contact The usual downward gliding movement of left hand ifstanding on right or of right hand if standing on left willserve for the discovery of the vertebra listed for gliding hand stops with the second finger indicating thespinous process. The first finger reaches upward and out-ward to the assumed location of the transverse o
