G-Jo acupressure

[Bdaze]

I recently bought a copy of Black Belt magazine. i noticed inside an adverisment for something called "G-Jo, First aid of the samurai"

 

 

 

it sounded interesting, so i checked it out online. aparently it's similair to most accupressure techniques, but much more All-Purpose

 

 

 

for instance, point numer g 14 i believe targets menstrual cramps, lowed back pain, tired feet (which i assume means having your foot alseep) and headaches

 

the neat thing is it's meant to be done to yourself, so you can keep fighting even with an injury aparently. i used a point today in class to get rid of a soar shoulder (from beeing thrown too much )

 

this works on most shoulder/neck/headache related pains.

 

basically, you look at the back of your left hand, with you right hand find the thumb bone and fore finger bone which intersect at the base of your hand and form a V.

 

now go to the fore finger bone that extends down the back of your hand. go about 2/3 of the way up it and push down with your finger directly to the left of the bone (u may want to push on the actual bone and let it slip off to get the closest possible.) now kind of probe around until you find and "Ouch point"

 

once you've found it sort of dig in and massage it. this should hurt slightly, but once you stop the pain will be over. do this for about 30 seconds.

 

at the end you should feel slightly warm and very relaxed. you will find that in seconds the pain in your shoulders and neck is almost completely gone. if it isn't try doing the same thing on your opposite hand.

 

preganant women should not use this pressure point. im not sure why, but they where very clear about that
