Pelvic

From Uncommon Problems

GAL–SPL GHISAI — the pelvic rim, softly, six times

Soft mid-soles, inside outward, and no weight onto the bone

Lay the patient straight. On both sides of the waist, support your palms well on chairs. Then, putting the full weight onto the chairs, at one and the same time rub softly from inside outward on the outer side of the patient's pelvic bone — the hip bone — 6 times.

Bear in mind that only the soft middle part of the soles of both your feet is to be used, and rub in such a way that weight does not come onto the bone.

This corrects blockage in the lymph nodes and reduces swelling in the leg. Especially for those who wear tight trousers, if they have this kind of trouble, this treatment is very beneficial.

The name records the method's parents. GAL and SPL are the gall bladder and spleen codes of the supine atlas; ghisai is the therapy's own word for a rubbing, sliding application rather than a still press. This entry is that pair of actions performed at the rim of the pelvis.

Three instructions here are all about keeping force off a bone. Putting the full weight onto the chairs — more of the therapist's weight goes into his arms in this treatment than in almost any other. Only the soft middle part of the soles — the softest tool there is, on both feet. And rub in such a way that weight does not come onto the bone — the hip bone's front rim lies just under the skin and is sharp to a sole. The stroke crosses it; the weight does not rest on it.

And the direction is written: from inside outward, both sides at once, six times. Not up, not down, not round — outward from the midline, the same idea as the widening actions of The Low Back and Knee, Leg, Foot, arriving here at a new border.
