Pressure Points 3: Types Of Points. By Bruce Everett Miller, PA-C Editor’s Note: This is the third article in a series by Bruce Miller that describe different types of pressure points and their effectiveness as well as how to use them. Article 1 was “Going to the Heart Of Pressure Points: What They Really Are”, and article 2 was “Pressure Points 2:Some Observations On Their Use.” In our first article we talked about some of the reasons why there is confusion about whether or not pressure points work and why, in my opinion, some people probably legitimately believe that pressure points do not work.

I broached the subject of the three different types of pressure points and in my second article I made some observations about their use. In this article we will cover examples of the 3 different types and particularly we will show at least one example of each type. Level 1 Pressure Points Level 1 pressure points are the most common pressure points there are. So how can you tell? There are ways to make the bone pain last longer.

Article 1 was “Going to the Heart Of Pressure Points: What They Really Are.” In our last article we talked about some of the reasons why there is confusion about whether or not pressure points work and why, in my opinion, some people probably legitimately believe that pressure points do not work.

I broached the subject of the three different types of pressure points and I promised to provide more examples of these different types of pressure points and how to tell them apart. I also promised to talk about some of the limitations of each type and why you would not simply focus on level 3 reflex pressure points. Okay, here goes: If you remember I gave the fact that the number of available pressure points in the body decrease with each level. So let’s back up a bit. About The Author:

Pressure Points 1: Going to the Heart Of Pressure Points - What They Really Are. By Bruce Everett Miller, PA-C Intermittently there is a lot of talk about pressure points in different chat rooms and magazine articles. And true to form, there are always those who believe in them (passionately) and those who do not (just as passionately). Both camps have their reasons why they believe as they do and both tend to flame the other. However, if you actually look at what BOTH camps are saying, you will find that underneath all the rhetoric there is an element that is shared by both groups.

That element is trying to find something that works for self-defense. That fact is the exact reason why many people study martial arts. One of the main problems with martial arts is the fact that, by itself, studying martial arts does not give you superior strength, speed, or make you invincible. Therefore, at times we all could use an advantage. The proponents of pressure points count on this advantage, but as I have said some people just don’t believe they work. Why is this wrong?
