In TCM theory, this movement:
Elevation Phase: Activates SP-4 (gong sun xue) → Upward nutrient transport (spleen function)
Depression Phase: Stimulates ST-25 (tian shu xue) → Downward waste excretion (stomach function)
Pancreatic Link: Twisting motion enhances splenic artery perfusion (J Gastroenterol)
