A therapist places a patch on a patient's foot at the K1 acupuncture point and moves it using a clock method, holding each position 15 to 30 seconds. After the patient drinks water and walks around the room, radiating pain down his right leg vanishes in about 90 seconds.

So I just want to go back over it. So you just— the, the pain was radiating down his right leg, and so you put it on the bottom of his foot, which I'm guessing would be, you said under the ball, which is normally we use that K1 spot. If you search that up online, you can see exactly where that is. But then you, on that right foot, you then use the clock method. So if this is the bottom of his foot, then you went to 12 o'clock this way. Or no, I went up towards— I went up towards his toes. His toes. Okay. So you went up towards it for 12 and then you moved around still on the bottom of his foot. Yeah. Okay.
Yeah. Here, then, then over here and then down below at the 6. But we didn't need to. We could actually not even move it to 6. We left it at 3 and he was fine within about a minute and a half because we were doing 30-second intervals. At first I went to 15 seconds and he just stopped and kind of went, and he said, oh, I'm feeling something. Something. And he was shocked, but he was scared of it a little bit because it scared him that he wasn't feeling pain anymore, which I thought was an interesting reaction. So I said, okay, you know, drink another drink of water. And so he did. And then that's when it went down to a 3, and he sat down and he goes, okay, like he was done. I said, no, we're not done yet. We're gonna, we're gonna move the patch. And I had explained this to him ahead of time so he knew what was going to happen. But when we did it, and then he got up, drank more water, and walked around the whole room— that was the fun part, is getting him up and walking— and then he felt the pain leave his body.
