I have a large Dr Scholls back beater and use it along my pelvic wall and down the inside of my thighs.. back where kidneys are and also up inside my rib cage. I will be very tired and sluggish the next day so drink a Chinese herbal detox tea. As a result I can now sleep through the night and urinary sensation has returned. I do NOT recommend using this anywhere near the ureter or prostrate forget name of female equivalent part as it causes swelling and symptoms worsen.
