The HALFMOON Stroke is the portal to the stroke routine. This stroke mimics the natural action that happens during a mutual grooming session between horses. The stroke is designed to start the SUMCHI connection. The HALFMOON stroke can connect with the subscapular and thoracolumbar fascia and the supraspinous and nuchal ligaments. The key muscles the HALFMOON stroke interacts with are the thoracic and cervical trapezius, latissimus dorsi, rhomboideus and the cervical serratus ventralis.

The HALFMOON Stroke can link into points along meridians such as the Bladder, Small Intestine and Triple Heater.
