Dog Acupressure for Wrist Arthritis: Great Hill

Video Transcript

"Okay, the next point we're going to work with is called Great Hill or Pericardium 7 and it's going to be just below the wrist on the inside and above that dew claw, right into this space here. This is another pain relieving and calming point. Another really good one if your dog tends to be anxious or nervous and it will also relieve the pain and help move the energy in that wrist joint. So you're going to hold this for about a minute. Again, it's one where you can massage up and down in that same area and it relaxes the dog completely as you can see. This will be one of most of the joints around the foot where you may find that the dog is not going to be happy with them being handled. If your dog does have pain in the wrist, you may end up having to do just the general points, I'm going to show you and then come back to this one after you've worked with the other points for awhile and gotten the dog a little more comfortable and stable. But you can do some light massage in the area to help out in the meantime."
