THE BIG 6 METHOD

The “Big 6” method was developed by Dr. Perry Nickelston of @stopchasingpain. His practice isolates the 6 lymphatic choke points of the body. These points are the main lymph node clusters that have the most blocks. By unclogging them first, the rest of the body can flow.

You simply stimulate and massage the 6 points in order, shown below, by RUBBING the area then SLAPPING/TAPPING the area. The Big 6 must be done in this order 1-6 for optimal effectiveness. This helps drain high pressure fluid to the lower pressure points at the collarbone.

The pressure used for rubbing and tapping should not cause pain and for timing you can concentrate on each area for as little as 10 seconds.

Make sure you are well hydrated before you begin.

The Big 6

1.    ABOVE & BELOW THE CLAVICLE (Terminus)

2.    UPPER NECK AT THE JAW LINE BELOW THE EAR LOBE (Deep cervical lymph nodes)

3.    PECTORAL/ARMPITS (Axillary)

4.    ABDOMEN

5.    GROIN (Inguinal)

6.    BEHIND THE KNEES (Popliteal)

After practising the Big 6 method stand up and while keeping the balls of your feel on the ground lightly bounce, while shaking out your arms.

Once a day is recommended to practise the Big 6 monitoring how you feel. You may experience a detoxification reaction the first few times you complete the Big 6 and that’s normal. Practising this method is so simple but so powerful. It’s the perfect complement to your daily dry brushing routine, everyday movement, and regular Ballancer®Pro sessions.

NOTE: Do not perform Big 6 if you are pregnant, have heart or circulation disorders, acute infections, or diagnosed with cancer.
