Re: Attn Mike - new to us pain mangagement modality

I don't have the gadget or the handbook to be able to list the

points. There are charts for each area of concerns showing multiple

points to be done.

------------------------

OK - since you don't know which specific points are being used for

which conditions, try the following as a catchall second point.

Gall Bladder 20 is at the base of the skull, about a finger width

outside of the spine. On whichever side of the body is being worked

with the machine, press the GB 20 on that side. Use moderate to

medium pressure and press up and into the occipital ridge. Hold

that point for the full amount of time that the unit is being used.

We had a really good demo of the effect of this when I was working

on Mark. Specifically, he a pretty good collection of trigger

points on the top strap of his right shoulder (middle fibers of the

trapezius for the more technically inclined). They were centered

around an acupressure point.

I started by doing standard trigger point, non-energetic, direct

pressure release work. We were making decent progress. I then

simply took my other hand and pressed my thumb pad onto his right GB

20. We both instantly sensed a very positive difference.

Trust me on this one. Using two points simultaneously makes a huge

difference in effectiveness.
