DOWN ARROW and UP ARROW — one stroke, run two ways
Opposite ends, opposite directions, and two opposite ears
Here is a pair that looks like one treatment written twice and is nothing of the sort. Everything about them differs except the strip of tissue they travel over — where the therapist sits, which end the palm starts at, which way it runs, how hard it presses, which positions are allowed, and which of two quite different dizzinesses it is for. (Figure 24.2)
Face Down taught the arrow family of the prone back — Back arrow, H arrow, On the spine, Beside the spine, Round arrow, 3 arrows — and when it came to the bare ring-and-stem glyph it stopped and said: a different point, and not in this article. This is that point, and its partner.
Down arrow
Sit near the patient's head.
As in the figure, place your palm under their neck so that the middle of the palm lies over the middle of their T1 vertebra. Then, pressing slightly inward, slide down as far as the L5 vertebra, in such a way that the tissues, nerves and so on along both sides of the vertebrae are drawn downward.
This treatment may also be given with the patient seated on a chair.
Its sign is a small circle with an arrow leaving it downward.
If the fluid in the ear increases, that too causes dizziness, which is called Meniere's disease; this is useful for putting that right.
Up arrow
This treatment must be given with the patient lying down. Sit near the patient's waist.
As in the figure, place your palm over their L5 vertebra so that the middle of the palm lies over the middle of the vertebra. Then, pressing somewhat firmly, slide up along the spine from L5 as far as T1, in such a way that the tissues, nerves and so on along both sides of the vertebrae are drawn upward.
Its sign is a small circle with an arrow entering it upward.
If the fluid in the ear decreases, that causes dizziness, which is called vertigo; this treatment is useful for putting that right.
| Down arrow | Up arrow | |

| Where the palm is placed | Under the neck, the middle of the palm over the middle of T1 | Over the L5 vertebra, the middle of the palm over the middle of the vertebra |
| Direction of the slide | T1 → L5 | L5 → T1 |
| Pressure | Slightly inward | Somewhat firmly |
| What is carried, and where | The tissues, nerves and so on along both sides of the vertebrae, downward | The tissues, nerves and so on along both sides of the vertebrae, upward |
| Patient's position | Lying — and it may also be given with the patient seated on a chair Supine Seated | Lying down only Supine |
| Duration and repetitions | No count is given; the slide is the unit | |
| What it is for | Dizziness caused when the fluid in the ear increases — Meniere's disease | Dizziness caused when the fluid in the ear decreases — vertigo |
| Sign | ○ with an arrow leaving it downward | ○ with an arrow entering it upward |
Four of those rows are the treatment, and three of them are easy to lose. The therapist moves between the two — head for one, waist for the other — because a palm cannot deliver a long even stroke running away from a body it is sitting behind. The pressure differs: slightly inward going down, somewhat firmly going up. And Down arrow alone may be given on a chair; Up arrow carries the word must — this treatment must be given with the patient lying down — which is not a preference and not a note about comfort.

- Vocal Point (वोकल पॉइंट / वोकल घिसाई) The Front of the Body II
The stroke stays on the surface, never sinks, and is never held.
- The rule that governs the head end The Front of the Body II
Anyone who has had a stroke, or a passing weakness, numbness or loss of vision, within the last three months — for these patients there is no version of neck pressure that is acceptable.
- Electrical Waves (इलेक्ट्रिकल वेव्स) The Front of the Body II
The stroke runs down behind the big strap muscle of the neck; a stroke that drifts forward onto the front edge of that muscle is over the great artery to the brain.

- The chest group — Thymus, Chest, Armpit, and their combination The Front of the Body II
The clock: there is no six-second hold; the unit is a stroke, and the count is a number of strokes.
- Th. Only — Thymus Only (थैमस ओनली) The Front of the Body II
On the return stroke, do not rub in the reverse direction.
- Th + Ch — Thymus + Chest (Thymus Chest) The Front of the Body II
The foot has arrived at the shoulder, the therapist is counting, and it feels wasteful to bring it back doing nothing — so he rubs on the return as well and counts that as the second stroke.
- Feather Touch — the lightest treatment there is Cranial Nerve and Brain Formulas
Stroke with the tips of the fingers so gently that the powder is not wiped off.
- FEATHER TOUCH — the lightest thing in the atlas Uncommon Problems

TAKE CARE The one-way stroke In the second stage, take care that the foot does not come back in the reverse direction.
- Fluid or Alkali — फ्लूइड या ऐल्कली On the Side
Its symbol is the Acid stroke mirrored left to right — the mirror is the instruction.
- BINDU POINT — the long diagonal The Low Back
The left foot rests on the edge of the left hip and stays there, holding the pelvis down; without it the diagonal stroke lengthens nothing — it simply rolls the pelvis toward the shoulder you are pulling at.
