[0038] The control system can download different acupoint programs. If the back percussion device 2 is 63 groups, the percussion device 2 is numbered from 1 to 63. If the Fengmen acupoint and the Gaohuang acupoint need to be pressed, the pressing time is 3 minutes. The two groups of acupoints should be pressed for 6 seconds and then released. When releasing, the person exhales and repeats eighteen times. If the Fengmen acupoint and the Gaohuang acupoint are recorded as 23 groups and 24 groups respectively, then the program sets the overall pressing time to 180 seconds, the program counts for 180s, the program counts to 0-6s to control the 23rd and 24th groups to drive the pressing, and releases when the count reaches 6s. At the same time, the 6s timing node program controls the announcer to exhale, the release time period is 6-10s, and the pressing continues for 10s. It ends after 180s of reciprocation, that is, it is repeated eighteen times.
