Why GB20 Isn’t Just for Knockouts – The Fascia and Brain Reset Point


Gallbladder 20 (GB20) — Feng Chi


Located just beneath the occipital ridge, in the hollow between the SCM and trapezius. You know it well for knockouts, vestibular disruption, and nervous system resets.


But let’s dig deeper into why it’s so powerful, especially for revivals and neurological restoration.


🧠 What Makes GB20 Unique?

1. Fascia convergence point

• The Spiral Line and Deep Back Arm Line cross here.

• It’s also connected to suboccipital fascia, which houses key proprioceptive sensors.

2. Cranial nerve proximity

• GB20 lies near the greater occipital nerve and the spinal accessory nerve (CN XI).

• Disruption = dizziness, KO, motor dysfunction

• But massage or stimulation = reset signal to the brainstem

3. Cerebrospinal fluid flow zone

• Gentle stimulation here has been shown (in craniosacral therapy) to affect CSF rhythm, potentially calming or rebalancing autonomic tone.


Revival Application:


When someone has a neurological KO or vagal response:

• Sitting them up → decompresses brainstem

• Massaging or slapping GB20 toward the ears:

• Stimulates cranial nerves

• Re-establishes vestibular feedback

• Sends mechanical input into fascia → up to the brain → down the spine


This isn’t mystical — it’s a multisystem re-boot through nerve, fascia, and flow.


🥋 Bonus Application:

• In locks or throws, add subtle pressure at GB20 to disturb orientation

• In recovery or healing, stimulate GB20 gently to:

• Calm headaches

• Restore focus

• Reconnect body awareness
