This is a very effective way to help clients increase their inspiration capacity but it is contraindicated for the elderly with osteoporosis.

This is a good stroke to use when the client’s wrist or forearm has been broken and ROM and/or ease of motion is compromised.

clavicle decompression 15. Clavicle Decompression
This stroke can be painful so I use it when other strokes to relieve pain, numbness, and tingling down the arm don't work. It lifts the clavicle off the brachial plexus.
