Vitality Supreme
·

It
is
an
interesting
fact
that
in
some
forms
of
athletics,
the
body
is
subjected
to
a
certain
amount
of
internal
stimulation
similar
to
that
which
I
have
systematized
in
these
movements.
This
is
especially
true
in
wrestling,
where
the
vital
organism
is
often
compelled
to
endure
a
great
deal
of
pressure
of
this
kind.
The
same
is
true
of
American
football,
although
this
is
too
violent
for
those
who
are
not
in
an
unusually
vigorous
condition.
To
suit
these
varying
degrees
of
strength
I
have
arranged
these
movements
so
that
the
first
series
(A)
is
comparatively
mild.
Those
who
are
not
already
vigorous
can
probably
use
the
advanced
form
of
treatment,
but
in
most
cases
it
will
be
best
to
take
them
up
gradually.
In
cases
of
rupture,
or
where
the
abdominal
region
is
weak,
there
is
a
possibility
of
injury
if
one
makes
the
movements
too
vigorous.
The
first
series,
however,
in
which
the
open
palm
of
the
hand
is
used,
is
quite
safe
in
all
cases,
if
reasonable
care
is
used.
In
each
of
these
pressure
movements
remember
that
the
pressure
should
be
applied
for
one
moment
only,
and
then
relaxed,
repeating
the
pressure
and
moving
the
position
of
the
hands
in
accordance
with
the
directions
accompanying
each
photograph.
When
a
feeling
of
pain
or
great
tenderness
is
noted
in
pressing
upon
any
part
of
the
body,
this
should
be
regarded
as
a
warning
that
the
pressure
is
not
to
be
repeated.
If
there
is
only
a
feeling
of
uneasiness
you
can
usually
continue
with
the
treatment
and
the
discomfort
will
disappear
in
practically
every
instance.
And
while
an
acute
sense
of
pain
indicates
the
necessity
for
avoiding
pressure
on
that
particular
part,
yet
it
is
sometimes
a
good
plan
to
exert
the
pressure
upon
adjacent
or
surrounding
parts,
thereby
influencing
the
circulation,
and
continuing
the
treatment
until
the
inflammation
which
is
the
cause
of
the
pain
gradually
disappears.
One
should
be
careful
to
exercise
moderation
in
all
cases,
however.
