Acupoint is a specific point on a meridian where pressure is applied.
In 📝Acupressure the thumb or fingertip meets that spot and stays. Location uses traditional landmarks and the cun. The word is a mapped contact, not a diagnosis of a lesion, and not a claim that pressing treats a disease. An 📝ashi point is tender wherever it is found, mapped or not.
Clients feel a dull, spreading ache when the point is engaged. Sharp, numb, or panicky sensation is a stop. This practice does not needle.
