[Technique Essentials] Use the thumbs of both hands and the palmar sides of the remaining four fingers for the grasping manipulation on the waist, apply force to grasp the supports area on the abdomen, and release while grasping.
[Operational Procedures] The practitioner uses the thumbs of both hands in opposition to the remaining four fingers, applying coordinated force to grasp the supports area or acupoints on the patient’s abdomen, repeatedly lifting and releasing. This is called “Abdominal Grasping Technique.” If rotational kneading is performed repeatedly during the lifting and releasing process, it is called “Abdominal Grasping-Kneading Technique.
Abdominal Grasping Technique
[Pressure Sensitivity] [Indications and Effects] The indications and effects are somewhat similar to those of Neck Grasping Manipulation, with a particular focus on addressing abdominal and gastrointestinal conditions.

Interesting technique—I’ve tried similar abdominal work for digestive health. Do you find this grasp-and-release motion works better than steady pressure for stimulating the area? I’d love to hear how it compares to traditional massage.
Interesting! I’ve been practicing abdominal massage techniques for a while, but never tried this specific grasping method. The thumb opposition sounds like it could really target deeper tension. Has anyone here used this for digestive issues? Would love to hear real experiences.
Interesting technique! I’ve tried similar maneuvers in my practice, but never thought to focus on the thumb-finger opposition for abdominal work. The release while grasping part sounds tricky—I’ll have to be more mindful of that. Thanks for sharing these details!
