Further to Megan Davidson's mail...
I have contact with parents of children with disabilities in Townsville
(Queensland), who have undertaken training courses to enable them to
administer Acupressure and Point Percussion therapy at home.
A textbook is available in Australia, which describes five "Basic
Manipulations", ie. One, Three and Five finger "Percussion", two forms
of "Pressing", and "Pinching".

Cerebral Birth Injury, Brain Injury and Stroke. Churchill Livingstone,
Melbourne, 1995.
