Posterior midline vessel (governing)
In the perineal region, on the midline, midway between the tip of the coccyx and the anus (located in the knee-chest position or side-lying with the knees drawn up).
Gentle support for the tailbone area after long sitting: heaviness and discomfort low in the back, tension around the sacrum, sluggish bowels.
Lying on your side, rub the coccyx area through clothing with the palm for 30-60 seconds until slightly warm; point pressure stays soft, 20-30 seconds.
Coccyx and perineal area: do not use during pregnancy. Work superficially and through clothing only; avoid the point with haemorrhoid flare-ups, fissures, inflammation or coccyx injury.
