Hands-on bone setting! This is the primary technique in orthopedics, requiring the practitioner to gain a sense of the bone fragments underneath the skin and muscle - how many there are, what shape each one is, and where they are located.

New bone setting techniques: feeling with hand, stretching and traction, rotation and flexion, lifting and pressing, swaying and touching, splitting the bone, top twisting and rotation, massage pushing and pulling.
