Dog Acupressure for Wrist Arthritis: Small Intestine Sea

Video Transcript

"The next point we're going to work on is Small Intestine Sea and that's at Small Intestine point no. 8. It's just below the elbow and you run your finger down the outside of the elbow and there's a nice deep space you're going to fall into. This is another one that's general for the four legs, but a good one if your animal isn't really comfortable having you working with this front feet. So if you can't get straight to the wrist points, you start with these points, doing straight pressure here. Again, if you're not sure you got the right point, you can always massage up and down in that area and you'll be sure to get some benefit by working on that Small Intestine meridian and the animal will feel some calming effect and some pain relieving and hopefully some help in moving the joints as well. So that's a good point to work with. Again, you want to do both sides making sure the body is completely balance and that even if this is the leg that's injured, this one is going to be working twice as hard so it's going to benefit from getting that extra treatment as well. So you want to always do both sides."
