Various kinds of massage;

The massage of the pain su jok points leads to quick therapeutic results and is very suitable for self-treatment. Its stimulation hasn’t got such powerful effect on the su jok points as the moxa and the needles, but when practised properly and intensively enough, it has the same effective­ness.

The massage in the su jok therapy is much more effi­cient than the popular point massage in the traditional acupuncture. To show good results the point massage should be done by a well-trained acupuncture or point massage specialist. When practised for self-treatment the result is disappointing.

In contrast to the point massage, the single-handed massage in su jok therapy allows successful healing and a special previous training for the points’ selection and their treatment is not needed.

The pain su jok points can be massaged in several ways:

• Diagnostic probe massage.
• Seed massage (seed-therapy).
• General massage with various massagers.
• Finger massage.
• Magnetic stars massage.

DIAGNOSTIC PROBE MASSAGE

The massage can be done with a diagnostic probe but also with other appropriate object that is available, even with a nail.

Press the pain su jok point with the probe’s tip and rotate it a little so to place it in the “centre” of the point – the spot with the most violent pain.

When you set the probe in the centre of the pain point, change its angle to the point to find the direction with the most intensive sensation.

Keep the probe steady in the centre of the point.

The pressure should be strong enough so you can feel an intensive pain – as much as you can take. After a while the pain will abate, it will almost fade away.

When the pain from the point pressure abates tangibly, start massaging it with light rotary movements of the probe.

Make the rotary movements by turns in both directions: 3-4 movements clockwise and 3-4 movements counter­clockwise. The massage is finished when the pain fades away and you feel warmth in the point. Usually 3 to 5 min­utes are enough.

Depending on where the points are located – close
