Principle

Extra point between the 2nd and 3rd metacarpals on the dorsum (Stiff Neck point); pressure plus gentle neck range-of-motion frees qi and eases spasm.

Effects & uses

On-the-spot self-care when heat or herbs are impractical.

Method

  1. Press the point on the affected side 10–15 minutes, increasing pressure gradually.
  2. Slowly flex and rotate the neck within a painless range.

How to use

  • Often noticeable relief in 5–10 minutes.

Caution

Do not force neck rotation. Recurrent stiff neck or arm numbness warrants cervical evaluation.
