How Acupressure Can Alleviate Pain Using Pressure Points

Leg Three Miles & Commanding Middle

Two essential acupressure points located on or around the knee are Leg Three Miles & Commanding Middle. Leg Three Miles is useful for helping with discomfort related to the stomach. Examples include gas, bloating, nausea, constipation, and diarrhea. You will find this pressure point underneath your kneecap, outside of your shin bone. To properly stimulate this pressure point, sit down and apply deep pressure using two fingers. This should only be done for a few seconds at one time.

Commanding Middle is a point located behind your knee, in the center. It is incredibly effective at treating lower back pain. You can also use it to help relieve arthritis, hip pain, and knee pain. Using your index finger, simply press on this point for a few seconds at a time, similar to the Leg Three Miles pressure point.
