Both GB34 and ST36 are suggestions made by Michael Reed.
Are these acupressure spots effective?
The location of GB34, according to Modern Reflexology, “is situated on the side of the leg, right below the knee, slightly in front of the tip of the outer leg bone.” Exactly four finger widths below the knee cap and one finger width outside the leg is where you may find ST36. To alleviate muscular stiffness, Reed suggests massaging GB34 and ST36 vigorously daily.
In addition to easing stiffness, GB34 may alleviate jaundice, nausea, vomiting, sciatica, hip pain, and vomiting, according to Modern Reflexology. According to Natural Herbal Remedies, ST36 is a game-changer when it comes to reducing period cramps, improving digestion, easing exhaustion, and sculpting muscles.
Then what other options do you have for easing stiffness?
In addition to acupressure, the National Fibromyalgia and Chronic Pain Association suggests maintaining a regular sleep schedule to allow your muscles to recover and repair. Additionally, it is good to ensure that you are warm and avoid sleeping in a draft.
A hot shower helps loosen up knotted muscles and stimulate blood flow. Without resorting to further medicine, you may try these easy techniques to alleviate morning stiffness.
