Are you avoiding the spine?
When I was 4, my cousin who was 3 and I were sitting around and playing in my grandparents kitchen while our parents and grandparents talked. My grandfather, a father of 9 children, was half asleep in his chair when my little cousin started to choke on a marble she had put in her mouth. Before anyone else could even register what was happening, Grandpa had her over his knee like this, gave her a few solid hits on the back like this, and that marble shot out of her mouth like a bullet. He made sure she was OK then went back to his nap. What a legend.
