Operation
The doctor holds the four fingers of the child patient with the left hand, and fixes the child’s thumb with the index finger and middle finger of the right hand. Then, the doctor uses the thumb to push from the tip of the child’s little finger to the Xiaotianxin acupoint, and then turn to the Neilaogong acupoint. This is regarded as one operation, and it should be pushed 30 to 50 times.

When performing the pushing manipulation, the force should be moderate, and the frequency should be slower than that of the direct pushing manipulation. It is advisable to be 20 to 30 times per minute.
