1. Stroking with both hands. The operator stands with her back to the patient placing her hands near the crests of the ilium, stroke simultaneously with both hands downward and inward to the center.

2. Friction with the tips of the fingers. This manipulation is used particularly when we wish to break down adhesions.

The patient should be instructed to breathe deeply. Massage of the ovaries is freely recommended by European gynecologists and we have many remarkable reports of complicated cases successfully treated.
