Press hard enough to feel an achy sensation. If you do not feel an achy sensation press around the area and try to locate the most sensitive point. | Because the thumb is stronger than the index finger we recommend using the thumb to press on the point. Women with long finger nails may prefer to use the eraser end of a pencil or the rounded end of a marker pen. | ||
Press on each of these points until you feel a deep achy sensation. Then take 3 or 4 deep, SLOW breaths while pressing each point. |
Pressing with you thumb and wrapping your fingers around the hand or
foot allows you to gradually press harder and harder until your feel
a deep achy sensation. If the thumb is held at a 90 degree angle to the hand or foot it is easier for the tip of the thumb to slip deeper between the bones. |

Wow! That feels Better! |

Hey! Is this supposed to work? |
No relief? Try these suggestions: 1. Check to be
certain that you started by selecting the image that
best matches the location
of pain on your body. If
you can find an image that is a better match try pressing those
points. If your pain
moves to a new location after you press the first set of points go
back to the previous page, select the image that best matches the
new pain location, and try using the new points. 2. Check the general
area around the point location by gently pressing to find the most
sensitive spot. Pressing
on the most sensitive spot in the area will usually give you the
best results. 4. Try points in the same area but, on the
opposite hand, foot, leg, or arm. 5. Select another
pain location image that is located close to the pain location on
your body. Try using these related point selections to see if you
get better results |

Headaches at the side of the head are often related to stress, jaw tension, or medications like birth control pills. As PrestoPainGo continues to develop we will provide links to acupressure protocols to treat these related issues. (Don’t expect acupressure for birth control. Because acupressure restores natural balance and vitality it is more likely to improve fertility) |
