Acupressure Tool Selection ProtocolStandard
Evidence-informed practices for acupressure tool selection.
Session Duration FormulaFormula
Effective dose = technique intensity × duration × frequency — log each variable.
Acupressure Tool Selection BenchmarksTable
Key parameters and target values for quality assurance.
| Parameter | Target | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Pressure | Comfortable | No sharp pain |
| Duration | 15-60 min | Adjust to goal |
| Frequency | 1-3× weekly | Allow recovery |
Perpendicular Pressure
Apply steady pressure straight into the point — angled pressure reduces effectiveness.
Hold Duration
Hold each point 1–3 minutes until warmth or release is felt, then move on.
Pregnancy Caution
Avoid deep abdominal points and LI4 during pregnancy unless trained.
Safety Notes
- Apply firm but never painful pressure — sharp pain means stop immediately.
- Avoid acupressure over open wounds, inflamed tissue, or varicose veins.
