Palpation

 

Remember, palpation consists of 3 aspects: 1. Locating a body's structure, 2. Being attentive to a body's structure, and        3. Assessing a body's structure. Palpation requires receptive hands and fingers, open eyes, listening ears, calm breath and a quiet mind. Palpation can only be improved through practice.                                                                                            (Biel, 2010)
