“THE BREAK” No. 4
Position
Same as Break No. 3 except that adjuster stands behind patient and rests the thumb upon the base of the neck posteriorly while the fingers extend downward and forward toward the clavicle. As with No. 3, the supporting hand rests against the opposite side of the head and forces it sidewise to tighten the contact.
Fig. 11. “The Break,” No. 3.
Movement
Properly, a quick lateral movement of contact hand while the head is firmly held by the opposing hand.
Note: “The Break” is unfortunately named and it would be well if some less suggestive term were generally substituted.
