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.

Rou
Round rubbing
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

Bo
Muscle, tendon, ligament
Bo
back, shoulders, arms, legs, and neck, pectorals
Bo
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.
Bo
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,
Yao
Yao FX
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
- Relaxation - present, open, listening with hands
- structure - align the tissue (tendon, ligament, bones)
- Internal Connection (lower Dan Tien, 6 harmonies)
- Intention - harmonize etc
- 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.
