Guided Stilt Pressing Video

Guided stilt pressing is a way of using the fingers to point and press acupoints to achieve therapeutic and healthcare effects.

Guiding and pressing the stilts is called guiding and pressing the massage. It is one of the five traditional Chinese therapeutic methods recorded in the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine. Along with needles, moxibustion, acupuncture and medicine. Recorded in the "Different Methods and Formulas for the Twelve", it is a traditional Chinese medical treatment that combines treatment and self-health care into one.

The original sentence in Huangdi Neijing (Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine) reads: "In the center of the world, the earth is flat and wet, and the earth and sky are the source of all things. Its people eat a variety of food and do not work, so its disease is more impotence, cold and fever. Its treatment should be guided by stilts, so guide the stilts, but also from the central out.
