Another approach is to focus on the kidney meridian rather than the kidneys themselves. Flush out any blockages by guiding the kidney meridian backwards once and then forwards several times and do the same for the triple warmer meridian (you could use sword fingers), hold the triple warmer points for a while to sedate it, look for sore spots along triple warmer meridian from the eyebrow to down near the ear and massage them, and massage the central lymphatic points on the back of the head.
