From On the Side

Lt. Parkhoo — लेफ्ट परखू

Lay the patient as above, but on the right side, and press and release with pressure, alternately, at both points of the left hip.

Doing once above and once below is called (1) Lt Parkhoo. That is, the count is: two equals one.

Patient's positionLying on the right side, otherwise exactly as for Rt. Parkhoo — chest turned inward, knees very close to the chest; one or two pillows between both knees; a pillow under the head Side-lying Right ▲ Take care

Duration and repetitionsOnce above and once below is called (1) Lt Parkhoo — two equals one
What it is forNot separately stated at the point

The hip that is worked is the upper one, and that decides which side the patient lies on: for Rt. Parkhoo the right hip must face the ceiling, so the patient lies on the left. The side they lie on is the side you are not treating. (Figure 20.3)

The pillow between the knees is not preparation for this point. It is part of the technique. Everything Parkhoo aims at depends on the hip staying where you put it, and the moment the upper knee falls below waist level the pelvis rolls forward and carries both stations away from your hand. The pillows go in as the knees come up, and are checked again after the first press. (Figure 20.4)

The knees come to the chest for a stated purpose — *so that it is easy to give the treatment at the edge of the femur bone*. Drawing them up rolls the pelvis and swings the top of the thigh bone outward until its knuckle stands up under the skin, and the two stations sit at that edge. On a patient whose knees have quietly straightened, the same presses land on a hip rolled back flat, and the edge is no longer where it was.

Key teaching

Parkhoo and the count that doubles — two equals one

At Parkhoo the written number is not the number of presses. One press above plus one press below, worked alternately, make one of what the card asks for. So (1) Rt Parkhoo is two presses and (8) Rt Parkhoo is sixteen — eight above, eight below, alternating.

The same convention governs Medulla, Ku, Armpit and Adr, and belongs to a family: two equal one, three equal one, four equals one. Learn the family, not the individual points.

What lies beneath. Put a hand on the side of your own hip, stand on the other leg, and a knuckle of bone stands out under the palm — the top corner of the thigh bone. It anchors the muscles that hold you level when you walk on one leg; their tendons wrap round it, with small fluid cushions between tendon and bone, and deeper runs the great nerve of the leg. So the two stations lie over tendon, cushion and bone — the commonest site of pain at the side of the hip in all of practice. With the knees drawn up the knuckle presents itself; with the legs straight it hides. And in anybody thin, elderly, on long steroids or on blood thinners, take the instruction's first option — the hand, not the foot.

What lies beneath the two fields. Two schematic sections — the strap, muscle and knuckle of the outer thigh that Acid runs down, and the tendon, fluid cushions, bone and deep nerve that the two Parkhoo stations lie over.
