If you move something heavy, and suddenly suffer from a back sprain, what should you do? Perhaps take some time off to rest, or take some painkillers? Today, we will learn points on the body that can greatly help to alleviate back sprains.

The first point is on the back of the knee. When sitting you will not be able to see this point. To find it you will have to straighten your legs.

Dr Li Zhi will introduce the two methods to alleviate pain. First, put the four fingers of your hand on the front of the knee, and the thumb on the back of the knee. Use your thumb to press the center of the back of the knee. The second method is to put the four fingers on the back of the knee, and the tip of the thumb on front of the knee, and use four fingers to press with moderate strength. If the left side of your back is injured, rub your left knee, and right knee for the right side of your back.

So if you do suffer from a waist sprain, by immediately rubbing this point, you can greatly reduce the pain. Don’t forget!

Today we will learn about maintaining a healthy back. 

Firstly, keeping the back warm is important, because the back is the place where the points of viscera of the human body are located. Pathogenic cold may invade the viscera directly．Therefore, pay attention to keeping the back warm at all times．People may protect the back with clothing，warm sunshine，and through avoidance of exposure to cold．

Secondly, moderately pounding the back. People may pound the back by themselves or ask others to pound the back for them. This has the result of dredging the meridians, and promoting blood circulation. The most important method is the kneading of the spine. Assume the prone position with the naked back．Ask someone to generously pinch the muscles of the middle of the spine with both hands using the thumb and index finger, and hold-twist it continuously from Dazhui to the sacrum three times．

This method is beneficial for both adults and children．Do not apply very strong force, or any violent force at all. The movements should also be in harmony with one another.
