6 EFFECTIVE

ACUPRESSURE POINTS

FOR ARTHRITIS

ACUPRESSURE …

… is a form of manual pressure to specific points on the body, to help

create a therapeutic affect.

The following 6 Acupressure points in this guide can help you to relieve some of

the symptoms of Arthritis for your dog

You can stimulate the Acupressure points with the spring loaded Acupressure

device or use finger and thumb pressure. We recommend using the method that

your dog is most comfortable with.

We recommend stimulating the selected Acupressure points for a duration

of 3 to 5 minutes if possible. It might take your dog some time to get used to

Acupressure, so be patient and realistic. If your dog is unsure about the techniques

initially, you may need to start with a shorter duration.
