The sliding manipulation technique is mainly used in clinical practice for rheumatism and joint pain in the limbs, as well as pain and numbness in the limbs. It can also be applied to movement disorders and numbness and pain. However, it is usually combined with other manipulation techniques. For example, to treat rheumatism pain, the Hegu and Taichong acupoints are selected first. The flat rubbing method and pressing-releasing method are used, and then the sliding and pressing-releasing techniques are applied within the meridian circulation range of the affected area. Another example is for general indigestion-induced stomach pain. The Neiguan, Hegu, and Zusanli acupoints are selected, and the flat rubbing method and pressing-releasing method are used. Then, the sliding and pressing-releasing techniques are applied along the meridian circulation line of the heart meridian of the upper limb; subsequently, the sliding and pressing-releasing techniques are applied along the meridian circulation lines of the stomach and spleen meridians of the lower limbs. Additionally, in the range from Diaphragu Yu to Ren Yu on the back (i.e., on both sides of the spine), the sliding, pushing, and purging manipulation technique is performed. Point tapping can be used for numbness in the limbs or can be used in conjunction with the flat rubbing and pressing-releasing techniques. Point tapping and sliding manipulation can also be used for the俞 points on the back and can be used as an alternative to point tapping. For example， when tapping the back acupoints， it is inconvenient to take off the clothes， so point tapping can be used instead. Additionally， it can be applied to the face and used as an alternative to point tapping. In general， when combined with the flat rubbing and pressing-releasing techniques， the effect will be better. Moreover， the sliding， pushing， and purging manipulation technique can generally be used in conjunction with the flat rubbing and pressing-releasing techniques or the Five Elements combination technique. However， these should be applied to rheumatism and leg pain in the waist and lower limbs， as well as gastrointestinal pain diseases.
