AMOUNT OF PRESSURE


Use light pressure when you feel weak or tired and, on those who are frail, sensitive, elderly or infants. Also use light pressure when pregnant or on those suffering from high blood pressure.

Otherwise, firm pressure can be used and should be applied by leaning in with body weight rather than forcing with the muscles. Fleshy parts of the body can take more pressure than bony parts or the face.
