A popular acupressure point for relieving back pain and sciatica is the 40th point on the Urinary Bladder meridian, Wei Zhong (委中), commonly know as BL-40.
BL-40 is one of the four Command Points in acupressure/acupuncture. It influences the back, waist and legs.
Here’re a few benefits from massaging this point:
- Reducing back tension
- Relieving leg pain
- Soothing urinary issues.
General guide for acupressure:
- Use firm pressure when you massage a point, unless it’s too painful. If it is, then use lighter pressure.
- If the point is painful to massage, it means that there is energy congestion and it’s in need of massage.
- If it’s not painful, you’ll want to dig around. You may find a spot that’s tender.
