Tap method: bend the index finger and place the thumb lightly on the last segment of the index finger. Keep the index finger bone in a straight line with the palm, forearm and upper arm. When pressing, press once and lift once. Apply force evenly and with penetration. Applicable to acupoints on the sole, medial side and dorsum of the foot.

Pressing method: Bend the thumb joint into a right angle, and apply force 2-3 mm away from the center of the nail tip. Apply force from light to heavy, steadily and continuously, so that the stimulation can fully penetrate deep into the tissue. Avoid using rapid explosive force to avoid adverse effects. However, it should be noted that if this method is used for a long time, the thumb will often be in a tense state and prone to tenosynovitis, so it should be used alternately with other techniques.

Kneading method: Place the ribbed surface of the middle finger on the acupoint, relax the wrist, use the elbow as a fulcrum, and make gentle and gentle circular kneading movements to stimulate the subcutaneous tissue at that location. Avoid hitting or jumping the acupoint. Suitable for larger massage areas.
