- amical intervention; and the action
can be derived from exterior causes,
especially by the employment of ex-
terror common force.
1t is hence seen that in two ways ex-
ercise becomes remedial. One is by
active motion. when the muscles are
caused to act through the will; the
other is by passive motion. in which a
limited portion or region of the body
is rendered physiologically active by
mechanical means.
The special use of movements Is to
give direction to the powers and re-
sources of the system, through a par
ticular channel to a designated loca-
ton, so as to supply it in higher
degree with the conditions of vital
energy. The whole system is thus
caused to contribute to and perfect the
vital power of limited portion.
Passive movements may be so used
as:
10 renew and refresh the circulation
and. therefore, the nutrition of anv
selected local point
10 cause the blood to flow in in
creased amount from any designated
part.
10 cause the blood to flow in in
creased amount toward a given part.
10 cause interstitial local absorption,
and the reduction of edematous and
other swellings.
10 cause contraction of capillary
vessels, previously distended.
10 secure relief from pain.
10 collect and perfect the products
