Dog Acupressure for Shoulder Arthritis: Three Mile Run

Video Transcript

"The next point is also going to be on the back leg. It's called three mile run or stomach thirty-six. Again, this is a good general acupressure point. You're going to move a little bit further back on the knee, into this deep hollow. Put steady pressure in that area. This one is good for relieving stiffness and muscle tension. Same sort of thing, even though you've got pain in the front leg, these back leg points are going to be helpful for them. Good to do both legs because that gives even energy movement through the body and if there's any energy, stuck anywhere in the body, those points are going to help you with that. Again, once the dog lies down, if the dog prefers to lie down, you can do that point from the lying down position. It's usually easiest to find it when the animal is upright because the muscles are more in line. If you have trouble finding it, do that circular massage in the whole area, and that will get you both of the points and the animal will benefit from it as well. This is a good way to deal with it, if you're having trouble finding your point."
