[Acupoint Location](1) Quchi: With the elbow flexed, in the depression at the radial end of the elbow crease. (2) Neiguan: Between the palmaris longus tendon and the radial flexor carpi radialis tendon, 2 cun above the wrist crease. Operation Procedure: [Relaxation Technique]Press Quchi: The practitioner uses the pad of the thumb to press the patient's Quchi acupoint with slight force and performs kneading and pressing techniques, repeating for 1 minute or 10-20 times. Press Neiguan: The practitioner uses the pad of the thumb to perform kneading and pressing techniques on the patient's Neiguan acupoint, until the middle finger feels numb and swollen, repeating for 1 minute or 10-20 times.

Massage the upper limbs: The practitioner uses the palm to massage the inner side of the patient's upper limbs (corresponding to the three Yin meridians of the hand), repeating 2-3 times from top to bottom. The massage should be performed continuously without skipping sections. Massage the shoulder: The practitioner uses the heel or palm of their hand to massage the patient's shoulder, down to the wrist, constituting one round. Repeat 10-15 times on each side. [Treatment Techniques] Knead the upper limbs: The practitioner uses their thumb and other fingers together to knead from top to bottom, repeating 2-3 times. The kneading should be done sequentially, with slightly more force, penetrating the muscle tissue.

Palm pressure on the upper limb: The patient's upper limbs are laid flat on the bed, palms facing up. The practitioner uses the palm of their hand to apply pressure from top to bottom, to a degree that the patient can tolerate, repeating 2-3 times. Kneading the upper limb: The practitioner uses the pads of their thumb and the other four fingers to lift the subcutaneous fat in areas of the patient's upper limb with more fat, then kneads the area until a slight pain and warmth are felt. Each point is treated 3-5 times. Squeezing the upper limb: The practitioner uses both palms to squeeze the patient's shoulders, forcefully compressing the shoulder muscles, then releasing. Squeezing from the shoulder to the wrist constitutes one set; perform 10-15 sets on each side.

Tapping the upper limbs: The practitioner makes a loose fist and uses the ulnar side of the palm to tap along the upper limb, to a degree that the patient can tolerate, repeating 2-3 times from top to bottom. Shaking the upper limbs: The practitioner holds the patient's palms with both hands and performs continuous, small-amplitude up-and-down shaking motions, repeating 10-20 times. When shaking the upper limbs, the patient should relax their muscles, keep their elbows straight, and not exert force. Lower back: A slender lower back is key to physical beauty, especially for women, as it is the core area of ​​the torso. A well-proportioned lower back displays a healthy and beautiful figure.

It gives a dashing, capable, strong, and beautiful impression. Excessively thick shoulders and back, and a thick waist, will detract from the natural beauty of one's figure. The main cause of a broad back and thick waist is obesity, as these are areas where body fat easily accumulates. Once the back and waist become overweight, it makes a person appear bloated and clumsy, placing a significant burden on both body and mind. Therefore, weight loss in the back and waist is of great importance to overall health. Basic techniques: Back and waist massage mainly uses pushing, pressing, and grasping techniques. The massage should not be too forceful to avoid damaging the spine. [Main Technique] Rolling Method: This technique involves using the back of the metacarpophalangeal joints to hold the treatment area in place, and then using the hypothenar eminence and the back of the hand to roll over the treatment area.

The doctor should bend their fingers naturally, using the back of their hand and the knuckles to apply pressure to the treatment area or acupoint. The shoulder joint should be relaxed, and the forearm should swing, using the elbow joint as a fulcrum, driving the flexion and extension of the wrist and the rotation of the forearm, causing the back of the hand to roll back and forth on the treatment area. This method is divided into two types: ① Lateral rolling and vertical rolling. Apply pressure to a specific area with the back of the hand near the little finger, using the little finger's knuckle as a fulcrum. The elbow joint should be slightly bent and relaxed, relying on the rotation of the forearm and the flexion and extension of the wrist to continuously apply force to the treatment area. ② Vertical rolling.

Apply pressure to a specific area using the back of the little, ring, and middle fingers and their metacarpophalangeal joints. Using the back of the little finger's metacarpophalangeal joint as a fulcrum, keep the elbow straight and rely on forearm rotation and wrist flexion/extension to continuously apply force to the treatment area. Elbow Push Method: After flexing the elbow, use the olecranon process to push in a specific direction. This method provides strong stimulation and is only suitable for areas with well-developed muscles, such as the buttocks and the bladder meridian along the sides of the spine in the lower back. When using the elbow push method, the elbow should be close to the body surface, the force should be steady, and the speed should be slow and even.

This technique can be used on various parts of the body, enhancing muscle excitability, promoting blood circulation, and relaxing muscles and tendons. [Common Acupoints and Locations] The Du Meridian and the Bladder Meridian run along the back, and the back-shu points of the five internal organs are all located on the Bladder Meridian. Pressing these back-shu points during massage of the lower back can not only aid in weight loss and lightness but also regulate internal organs and strengthen the body. Commonly used acupoints: Dazhui (GV14), Xinshu (BL15), Geshu (BL17), Ganshu (BL18), Danshu (BL19), Pishu (BL20), Weishu (BL21), Shenshu (BL23), Dachangshu (BL25), Sanjiaoshu (BL22), Zhiyang (GV9), Yaoyangguan (GV3), Cilaoliao (BL32).
