Dog Acupressure for Back Problems: Wind Pond

Video Transcript

"The point we are going to work is wind pond or gall bladder 20. And this is along the sides of the neck. As you run your fingers down from the sides of the ear, along towards the shoulder blade, there's a dimple, as best described, a dimple in the neck. Right about there. It's pretty easy to find if the dog is relax at all. This is one that you want to do, obviously, on both sides. Really good one especially for the upper back. So if there is disc disease or spine problems up in this first part of the body, this is particularly important. But it actually works the area right down the spine. It's really one to use for any animal with back problems. And it's just a hold, steady pressure on both sides. And it's fairly easy to find but again if you are having trouble finding it, massaging up and down. Remember to keep level with the ear heading towards the point of the shoulder and you'll get into the area where that particular point is. So working there, again very good for the neck itself and for the spine in general."
