secret 7: HEALING WITH ACUPRESSURE:

Acupressure is closely related to acupuncture , a traditional Chinese medicine.
ACUPRESSURE is very safe . Even if u don`t press on the exact point , coming close to it will provide some relief , definitely u will do no harm.
When performing acupressure , place your thump on the point and press straight down into the body. DO NOT RUB, you must press hard enough to make an indentation  in the tissue , but not cause pain (large digs will require more pressure , smaller dogs less). Hold the press for 30-60 seconds, then release.
FOR EXAMPLE: 

ARTHRITIS :

• SYMPTOMS:

• CAUSES :

because the joint is aging and lose it`s protective covering or cartilage leading to osteoarthritis, sometimes in pet arthritis may be secondary ligament injury.
