From The Low Back
JJ⁺¹ and JJ⁺² — the segmental pair
L1-2-3 the thigh, L4-5-S1 the calf, and three rounds that ramp
From The Low Back
JJ⁺² FOR L4 – L5 – S1
Its symbol is JJ⁺². Everything is to be done just as in JJ⁺¹ above, but in this, placing a pillow under the calf, and with your heel drawing the muscles inward, walk from below the knee to the ankle — that is, to the heel. Do three rounds.
| JJ⁺¹ | JJ⁺² | |
|---|---|---|
| Segments | L1 – L2 – L3 | L4 – L5 – S1 |
| Patient's position | Often seated; but it can also be given lying down Seated Supine | Everything just as in JJ⁺¹ Seated Supine |
| The therapist | Body weight taken on the chairs | |
| Where it is worked | From the waist to the knee | From below the knee to the ankle — that is, to the heel |
| Pillow | Under the thigh, if given lying down (seated, perhaps none) | Under the calf |
| Tool and direction | Steps close together, pressure downward and inward into the thigh | The heel, drawing the muscles inward |
| Rounds | Three — slight, then a little more, then you may apply your full body weight × 3 | Three, as in JJ⁺¹ |
| The rule | By no mistake should the foot fall on the knee joint ▲ Take care |
The therapy's own reason for the pair, and the ramp inside it
JJ⁺¹ and JJ⁺² — both of these are based on dermatome charts. The nerves of L1, 2, 3 go from the thigh to the knee, while the nerves of L4 and L5 go to both sides of the calves.
That is the whole logic, and it is why the two cannot be swapped or merged: the territory is chosen by the level named on the card. L2 finding, work the thigh. L5 finding, work the calf. There is no version of JJ in which one walk serves both.
And most treatments give a count; this one gives a ramp. Round one slight, round two a little more, round three you may apply your full body weight. Three things follow. The tissue is given time to accept the load. You get two warnings before the heaviest round — anything that will hurt, wince or go rigid does so when almost nothing is on the foot, so the grading is a screening tool wearing the clothes of a dose. And the permission in round three is a permission, not an order: on a frail patient, an elder, a child, or a leg that objected in round two, you may not.

No JJ⁺¹ for a knee patient, who gets Pradip instead, in which the muscles are pulled in the opposite direction — but JJ⁺² may be given.
