Adapting this Protocol : <br />
<br />
To adapt this protocol to 70 minutes- <br />
Extend the Pressing with thumbs on the Bladder channel down the back of the legs and then add the Pressing with elbow. The Pushing with thumbs can also be extended. <br />
<br />
To adapt this protocol to 40 minutes- <br />
Perform either the Front of the body or Rear of the body sequence. The Front sequence can be adapted to be done without the Passive Movement -Traction sequence or it simply can be speeded up by reducing the number of repetitions of each movement. <br />
<br />
Tonification sequences can be inserted at the appropriate segmental position corresponding to the organs.</p>
