Firstly, the pain or problem location is shown on a body figure. This should match the points on your body where pain is located.

Secondly, we have broken the treatment points into three different groups. Each group is identifiable on the handmaps by a different symbol; a green circle or oval; a navy blue rectangle and; an orange triangle. At least one point in each of the displayed categories should be treated for 5 minutes in each treatment session. In reality, the points where a user gets the strongest sensation on the hand will always be the correct points for treatment.
 
Thirdly, to simplify locating the correct hand Acupoints, we represent the best treatment points on the front and back of the hand using the symbols described in the previous paragraph. The Acupoints shown are an approximate guide for where you need to place the blue pointing device. Simply seek the points that offer the strongest sensation.
