There are various methods of pressing, but most common is using the thumbs or fingers with one hand supporting the other.
*In either case, start slowly with good body mechanics.
*As you connect with the patients’ body, do your best to listen through your hands. Be even in pressure and speed moving in to the body or limb.

This is also a diagnostic technique

Yaohuan

mobilize joints

Yaohuan

Tendon and ligament level into the joint

Yaohuan

Body position for yaohuan

round your back and hollow chest, with legs and feet steady on the ground to make the movement

go to full range of motion, and stay engaged in the tissue

yaohuan

Goldfish rocking hand position

sink hands between vertebral processes to soften tissues (bring qi and blood to areas)

too fast rocking

shearing

too slow rocking

no wave

CI – suspected spine and or rib Frx.

Rocking

Tui

Pushing

Tui

Applied to thoracic area, pushing relieves stag of qi in the chest to treat cough and asthma

Tui

release the rib and spinal facets, and the associated musculature

Tui

Used on any channel

Tui

warm and dredge jing-luo; Move qi, xue and damp stasis; Relieve stagnation and excess, tightness and/or restriction.

Tui

superficial to muscle, tendon and organ level.

Tui

Method – * palm root * knuckles, * thumb, thumb root or * forearm and elbow.

Tui

What do you use for Tui

Method – * palm root * knuckles, * thumb, thumb root or * forearm and elbow.

Body alignment for Tui

body behind arm or chosen tool forward movement is generated by body and feet mind the elbow

Pushing is a_______ tech, as opposed to pressing which is_______

Linear, static

Primary technique is with the forearm

Tui

Early stage edema can use gentle ____ to relieve

Rou

Round rubbing

Rou

Regulate and tonify Qi in the points and channels Disperses stagnation to relieves tight muscles and spasm, calms the shen.

Rou

Regulate and tonify Qi in the points and channels

Rou

Disperses stagnation to relieves tight muscles and spasm

Rou

calms the shen

Rou and yaohuan

skin and muscle to the viscera

Rou

Apply even pressure downward and make the circling motion. The circumference is determined by the body area being addressed. Moving out and away is dispersing and sedating; Tonify by using centripetal motion into the circle or toward the midline

Rou

Moving out and away is

dispersing and sedating

Rou Method

even pressure down and make circling motion out and away

The idea is to sink the qi to the level of the rib head

Rou

Contraindication - Patient in sharp pain, and direct pressure on the bone.

Rou

Plucking

*disperse and scatter qi into freedom *free adhesions & relax, *releases exterior *resuscitation

*disperse and scatter qi into freedom

*free adhesions & relax

Muscle, tendon, ligament

back, shoulders, arms, legs, and neck, pectorals

light plucking can be used to

tonify

Bo Method

Pluck across muscle or tendon similar to the way you would pluck a stringed instrument

CI: on children, the elderly or *recently traumatized tissue*, as well as overly deficient patient. Or if the action causes too much pain.

Yao

Circling/waving

circling/waving

Yao

tendon, joint level

Yao

The joints, as in the hips, knees and ankles as well as wrist, elbow and shoulder.

Yao

reintegrate joint complexes increase mobility of joints reduce pain and increase stability diagnostic to examine action and relationship of joints,

Body position to rotate hips

Cephalad hand above knee, caudal hand on foot at UB63 and GB 40

Ankle position to rotate

Medial hand KD 1 and ST 41 cup ankle with lateral hand, thumb at GB 40 and middle KD 3 Rotate with traction

CI – using to assess lateral movement of knee, meniscus or collateral ligament tears. Extreme caution in hip and knee replacement.

Rotating

Three Harms

Forced breathing Labored use of strength Throwing out chest, sucking in abdomen

5 elements of body knowledge

1. Relaxation - present, open, listening with hands 2. structure - align the tissue (tendon, ligament, bones) 3. Internal Connection (lower Dan Tien, 6 harmonies) 4. Intention - harmonize etc 5. Internal Awareness - cultivated through qi gong etc applied clinical knowledge

When to release An

changes in breathe, softening, lengthening of tissues, heat or cold release, pulsation, tremor or trembling/spasm of muscle, fluid movement, borborygmus, twitching and emotional release

Bo back muscles

Erectors, latissimus dorsi, medial border of scapula and lateral border of tip of the scapula – also teres minor/major

Bo adductor muscles

– esp gracilis – -be careful over the femoral a. or the saphenous _space; sometimes bruising happens at adductors

Bo Neck muscles

*Neck - -SCM, scalenes; lightly and one side at a time, turning head to opposite direction, with elbow anchoring at opposite GB21.

Bo arm muscles

*Arms- delts, triceps, biceps, and pronators, etc… -Tx carpal tunnel Tx – the fingers should move.

Bo knee

*Knee – Behind the knee – popliteal fossa and peroneus… -hands go medial and deep to tendon. Knee should be at 90º. Pluck soft for deficiency and opposite for excess. One trick is to use thumbs for the upper aspect of knee.

Bo Peck

-Can reach over the arm to pluck over the ribs, or reach under the arms and across the body to opposite pectoral.
