Hold your hands in a fist, then massage your waist back naturally with the protruding parts of the metacarpal joints of your two thumbs, and then massage inward in a circular way, gradually exerting force until you feel a little sore, and continue to massage for 10 minute. You can use it every morning, before taking a nap and at night.
