The shoulder blade
Take hold of the hook with both hands and put the hook over the shoulder. Put the head of hook next to the shoulder blade and press the head of the hook against the muscle and stretch it. Move the head up and down or sideways a few centimeters at a time. When you find a sore spot pull downwards on the handle and at the same time slightly push the handle upwards, as shown by the arrow in the picture to the right for the best results. Apply the pressure for 10-20 seconds until the pain starts to ease. You can also rotate the shoulder as you hold the hook in position. This will also relax the muscles afterwards.

The trapezius muscle
When you are working on the trapezium muscle the upper hand does the work by pulling down using a pumping motion as you go along bit by bit. This will increase the elasticity of the muscle and the energy will flow better. Also the head will start turning better. By turning the handle of the Hook to the side you can do the whole neck area.

The base of the skull
Look at the position of the hands. Put the head of the hook against the base of the skull where the neck muscles attach to the skull and rotate the head of the Hook with gentle movements and light pressure. This will help free the circulation of blood to the head. Headaches, dizziness and other problems will lessen as the brain will get more oxygen. Also the acupoints for the eyes will get treated at the same time.

The chest area, stomach and legs
Close the Hook into a “roller” position to work on the muscles in the upper part of the chest, that usually are very tight. Use the roller also on the stomach area and the thighs and other leg muscles.

The buttocks, hamstrings and calf muscles
Using the Hook as shown in the picture with strong pressure you can work on the deep muscles of this area. Use both hands as you work this area moving the Hook to the tender areas that you will find in this region. Using the same grip, work the back muscles and leg muscles and the points where the muscles attach to the bone. Put the Hook under your armpit so that the head of the hook reaches the upper part of the back to work on the upper part of the long back muscles and to ease the tension under the shoulder blade and the shoulder area.

The thighs and other leg muscles
To relax the thigh and other leg muscles close the Hook around your thigh with the handle on the inside as shown in the picture. Do relaxing figure eights with one hand and a gentle grip. With the smaller muscles you can turn the head of the hook on top of the handle. It is important that both ends of the Hook can be gripped together.

The soles of the feet
The Hook’s claim as "the best Television accessory" comes to life when you use the Hook to work on the acupoints of your feet. Pull the Hook along the bottom of the feet towards the sore spots or hold the Hook against the ground and move your foot.
