Step Four: Firmly Press GB20:
Place both of your thumbs underneath the base of your skull, two to three inches apart, into two hollow areas. Apply pressure gradually, as you slowly tilt your head back. Firmly press up and underneath the skull for one minute.
Step 5: Firmly Press ST36:
This is one of the most effective acupressure points for counteracting pain and fatigue. To find the point, measure four finger widths below your kneecap, placing your fingertips one-half inch outside the shinbone. If you're on the correct spot, a muscle should flex as you move your foot up and down a few times. Now make the two fists and place them slightly to the outside of both legs, just below your knees. Use your fists to briskly massage up and down along the outside of your shinbones for one minute. This rejuvenates the whole system. For best results, practice this arthritis relief routine twice a day. If time does not permit, two applications a week will still have a beneficial effect.
