Practical use
Work beside the spine with broad, controlled pressure.
How it works
Mid-back
Start with broad support through the muscles beside the spine. Add deeper pressure only to dense areas that respond comfortably.
FrontBack
Recommended pressure type
K
Knuckle
Best starting point for this zone.
The long muscles beside the spine respond well to broad, steady contact. A knuckle point covers more surface area, which suits this larger, flatter muscle group.
Use safely
Begin with light pressure and increase gradually only while it remains comfortable. Stop if you feel sharp or increasing pain, numbness, tingling, dizziness, or unusual weakness.

Work Through the Area
