Skip it when
- Stop if stomach pain is sharp, severe, or worsens.

What should I notice before and after?+
Baseline movement
Repeat the comparison movement once before pressure, then use that exact movement for the retest.
- Use the movement shown in the teaching image and described in the steps below.
Interpretation
- Use the comparison movement as the before-and-after reference. If it feels easier, remember the responsive point and finish or repeat as written above.
- If the stress-related stomach discomfort relief feels unchanged, search only within the marked area for a clearer sore, tingling, full, or tender point.
Release the point, repeat the comparison movement once, and compare it with the starting movement.
