Rubbing method: using the palm or finger pad to rub the surface of the acupoint in a clockwise or counterclockwise circular rhythm. The rubbing method can be divided into finger rubbing, palm rubbing, and palm-root rubbing.

Pushing method: using four fingers pressed together to push and squeeze the muscles upwards or sideways. The pushing method can be divided into flat pushing with fingers, palms, and elbows.
