Understanding Natural Relief for Stiffness and Pain
As we age, joint stiffness and back pain can become common, affecting mobility and comfort. Many seek relief without the chemicals found in medications, turning to natural methods like acupressure. Acupressure, an ancient healing technique from China, involves applying finger pressure to specific points on the body to activate self-healing. The technique is widely praised for promoting relaxation, enhancing circulation, and alleviating muscle stiffness.
Key Acupressure Points for Pain Relief
Two notable acupressure points for relieving stiffness are GB34 and ST36. GB34 is located on the outer leg below the knee and in front of the leg bone, while ST36 sits four finger widths below the kneecap and one finger width outward. Rubbing these points daily can help reduce stiffness and support better muscle function, making movement easier and more comfortable.
