Also good for reaching points on your back you can't reach with your hands. (If the points are sore, one can find them a lot of the time using a handheld massager.) Massaging the general area of a point can be all that is needed in some cases. When you work the Sea of Vitality (Bladder 23 and 47), the instructions I've seen is not to hold the points but to make a fist with both hands, and rub the fists briskly up and down to create heat. Or, use a handheld massager. Or, in the case of Cold people and conditions, put a heating pad over the points.

It uses a 9V battery, and has a pulsed frequency of 10 Hz, 0-25V, 0-50 miliamps, pulse width 220 microseconds. Another unit is called a " Fata Point Locator/Stim " . It costs $165, uses a 9V battery, 0-15V, 0-30 milliamps, pulse width 120 microseconds (half of the first unit). Then there's a " Piezo Ear Pen " for $29, for use on the more sensitive ear or face. How long do you zap folks with these things? Acupuncture needles often remain in place for 15 to 30 minutes. I'm sure a 9V battery won't allow that kind of long usage.

Again you will know watch the face of the person and feel the area. Especially in ashi type situations you will feel the muscle relax or change to the touch.
