Half circles are generatedwith the hand elevated, the thumb abducted, with the finger joints neutral and thefingertips in contact with the SF. The MT places the hand on the skin with theulnar side without pressure, while the thumb goes into abduction.

The MT then moves the hand to thenext area to be manipulated and repeats the technique. The MT may use one orboth hands (see Fig. 9.5).
