Of these ankle foot points, point 3 has a greater use in the area of foot and ankle injuries, but ankle-foot point 4 which lies opposite two ankle foot point 5 can be grasped ankle foot point 5 (index finger on one and thumb on the other) and this areas is not a tender area.
Ankle foot Point 6 : Located four finger above the medial malleolus or the inner rounded ankle bone at the middle of the inside aspect of the leg. Another easy way of locating this point is to flex the person’s foot and put his four fingers on the inside of his leg with little finger resting on top of the anklebone and the other fingers going up the leg. (The point exists where the four finger lies, behind the shinbone).
