Therapeutic functions of Huantiao

Huantiao is a large point below which lies the piriformis muscle under which passes the sciatic nerve.

  • It is used for the buttock pain, lumbosacral pain, sciatica and paralysis.

This point is used a lot. It has an effect on the pelvis and on the path of the sciatic nerve which runs down the leg, occasionally along the bladder, occasionally along the BV.

In massage, it is generally worked with the elbow.
