Where Is Kidney Located In Human Body And What Is The Treatment For Kidney Stones?

I am supposed to tap (pound) my wife's back where her kidneys are to help the stones she had sonically? shattered. We are having a disagreement about where kidneys are located in a human being so I thought I would search the web for an answer. Can you help?
