Pressure point

Pressure points are areas on your body where you can feel a pulse or some sort of sensation when you press on it. It's like pressing a button – except instead of a button, it's a place on your body. Pressure points are used in martial arts and acupressure to help people feel better or gain control over their body. Pressure points can be used to help relieve pain, stress, and tension, and also to help balance out your body's energy. If you press on a pressure point, it can have an effect on the body around it. It can also be used to help release tight muscles and ease tense feelings.
