For Lower Back Pain There are two main pressure points that can help with lower back pain, says Moreau. The first is on your waist: 1. Stand up and lightly grab your waist with both hands so that your thumbs wrap around your back. 2. With your thumbs in place, apply a circular motion using firm pressure for a count of five seconds. 3. Repeat this three times. Moreau says you can also find a pressure point to relieve low back pain about m i d - way up your calf muscle: 1. Using the same circular motion and pressure, hold for five seconds. 2. Release and repeat two more times. For Sinus Pain The first point for relieving sinus pressure and pain is right between your eyebrows, says Moreau. He suggests using your index finger or thumb to apply pressure here using a circular motion for 5 seconds. The second point is at your temples; use the same circular motion as before. A third option is to trace your fingers from your temples to either side of your nostrils. Using a circular motion, apply pressure here for five seconds. Moreau recommends following this pressure technique for each of the pressure points, keeping the pressure firm but not painful.
