The pressing direction should be vertical, and the force should increase from light to heavy, steady and continuous, so that the stimulation can fully penetrate deep into the subcutaneous tissue. This method is highly stimulating and is often used in conjunction with kneading, which is called massage. Pressing has a significant effect of opening blockages, dilating blood vessels to improve blood supply to tissues, enhancing the body's oxidation reaction, eliminating stasis in lymphatic vessels, increasing nutrition to tissues and eliminating edema.

Kneading
