The spinal pinching therapy in pediatric tuina is becoming the choice of more and more intelligent mothers. Without the need for injections or taking medicine, just 10 minutes a day can regulate the constitution from the root.
I. Why is spinal pinching called the “technique for preventing and treating all kinds of children’s diseases”?
What is spinal pinching?
Along the two sides of the spine (the Bladder Meridian), from the coccyx to the Dazhui acupoint, use the “pinch three, lift one” technique to continuously twist the skin. This seemingly simple action actually hides the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine:
✅ Connect the “Sea of Yang Meridians”: The spine is where the Governor Vessel Meridian is located, which commands the yang qi throughout the body.
✅ Stimulate 34 pairs of Huatuojiaji acupoints: Directly connect with the five zang-organs and six fu-organs.
✅ Activate the immune switch: A large number of immune cells gather under the skin of the back.
Clinically verified effects
Increase the content of immunoglobulin IgA (Experiments in Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine have confirmed that the immunity of children in the spinal pinching group has increased by 37%).
Regulate the frequency of gastrointestinal peristalsis (Data from Beijing Children’s Hospital shows that the relief rate of abdominal distension reaches 89.2%).
Promote the secretion of growth hormone at night (Children who continuously receive spinal pinching grow 1.8 cm taller in half a year).

II. Four major pain points in parenting, and how spinal pinching can solve them
Pain point 1: Repeated colds and fevers → Weakness of the spleen and lungs
Solution: Do spinal pinching in the morning + knead and press the Feishu acupoint
Operate before 9 a.m. when the yang qi is rising. Focus on lifting and pinching the Dazhui and Fengmen acupoints, and cooperate with drinking yam and millet porridge.
Pain point 2: Indigestion, constipation, and bad breath → Imbalance of the spleen and stomach
Solution: Do spinal pinching 1 hour after a meal + massage the abdomen
Pinch from the Guiwei acupoint towards the Mingmen acupoint, cooperate with pinching the Sifeng acupoints, and avoid operating before going to bed.
Pain point 3: Night terrors and night sweats → Disharmony between the heart and the kidney
Solution: Do spinal pinching in the afternoon + knead the Yongquan acupoint
Change to the gentle “pinch three, lift one” technique. After pinching, rub the palm of the hand to warm and apply it to the Shenshu acupoint.
Pain point 4: Allergies and eczema → Disharmony between ying (nutritive qi) and wei (defensive qi)
Solution: Do spinal pinching every day + moxibustion at the Shenzhu acupoint after spinal pinching
Cooperate with wiping the body with water boiled with honeysuckle flowers, and avoid eating foods that cause allergies such as seafood and mangoes.
III. Step-by-step teaching: Avoid three major misunderstandings, and mothers can quickly become home health care experts
✅ Standard operation steps
- Preparation: Let the baby lie face down, expose the entire back, and rub the palms of the hands to warm them up.
- Positioning: The index finger and middle finger are in front, and the thumb is behind to pinch up the skin at the coccyx.
- Moving forward: Twist alternately upward along the two sides of the spine (The mnemonic: Pinch three times and lift once).
- Finishing: Gently pat the back after reaching the Dazhui acupoint, and drink warm water and rest.
Suggestions for the best cycle
• For daily health care: 3-4 times a week, 5-7 times each time.
• For disease conditioning: Continuously for 7 days, once in the morning and once in the evening.
• Strengthen the constitution: Do spinal pinching every morning + Apply the oil for enhancing immunity.
A mother’s hands are the best “vaccine” for a child.
Rather than being in a panic after the child gets sick, it is better to spend 10 minutes every day to activate the body’s self-healing ability.
Put down your mobile phone now and place your warm palms on your baby’s delicate back. This is not only the inheritance of the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine but also the most tender protection of a mother’s love.
