How is Shenshu point massaged?
The position of Shenshu is 1.5 inch below the spinous process of the second lumbar vertebra, that is, 14 vertebra, and 1.5 inch away from the midline of the back.

During the massage, the patient takes a sitting position, touches Shenshu point with the rib surface of thumb with both hands, first presses down, then relatively squeezes, and at the same time makes circular kneading, with the degree of acid and pain. This is the extrusion kneading method. Or gently press the rib surface of your thumb on the acupoint, and then quickly push it in the direction of Zhishi acupoint, with gentle manipulation, 50 times on each side. This is the deduction.

This massage has the functions of invigorating kidney qi, strengthening waist and kidney, nourishing essence and calming the nerves. Therefore, acupuncturists regard it as an important point to strengthen the waist and tonify the kidney.
