Strong man 44 y.o. after depressing family troubles, he received torticollis, which he could correct by pressing his left hand on the occipital region. According to prof. Brissaud "is an act of saving faith, because the will could never be sufficiently restrained to leave freedom for the muscles of the antagonists to be mutually conquered."
