Dog Acupressure for Shoulder Arthritis: Yang Spring Tomb

Video Transcript

"The next point we're going to work on is yong spring tomb, which is gallbladder thirty four. Although it seems strange, you've got a pain in the front leg and we're actually asking you to work on the back leg. This is one that actually moves the energy through the body, relieves pain and stiffness, in all of all the limbs, so it’s a good one to use for any general arthritis. This one is the one that's right below the knee, you fall into the space. Here's your knee, here's a little space right in there. Straight up and down finger motion. If you're not sure you got the point, massaging that whole knee area will pick that one up, in the next point we're going to do, as well, so you can do that whole massage area. This, again, is one of your general acupressure points for arthritis, so any type of arthritis will benefit from treating this particular point. Best if you hold it for a minute but you can do the circular massage for the same amount of time and it will, at least, help some. Some dogs will allow you to do this, others will object. You can also do this with the dog lying down and sometimes that's more comfortable for them."
