During the seance, procedures are alternated 4-6 times. For treatment with physical field, operator positions his hands at a distance of 0.1-1.5 m from zone of affected joint and executes motions simulating correction of deformed extremity. Improved metabolism is manifested by elevation of skin temperature in zone of treatment by 0.5-1.2 C and its decrease in the nearest distal joint by 0.4-1.4 C. Seances are carried out once a week.
