Pressure points

[ticklebug101]

Hey kids.
So back in the summer when it was hot, I used to fill up my water bottle, move my hair and pour the cold water directly on the nape of my neck and I got major shivers, first time it was a real shock lol.
So would that be considered a pressure point or just like a weakness? Also, does any one know pressure points and if there in different places on men and women? Just wondered, opinions would, as always be appriciated. Thanks,
Bug 🙂

I think thats just ticklishness 😛 Though there are a lot of different pressure points on the neck, the key in identifying a pressure point is that it responds to...well, pressure XD
The water was only touching your skin.
As for anatomical pressure point locations, they're pretty identical regardless of gender; it's weight and height that vary the location.
pressure points are points on the body there the muscle and bone conjoin, much like the open cogs of a clockwork mechanism; they're just inevitable little parts of our anatomy.
Some pressure points are nervous tendons, some are just tendons, and some are just nerves. For example, have you ever bumped your "funny bone" on the jamb of a door? That's a nervous tendon. A tendon is vascular, but also has some afferent and efferent nerves in it. When you bump it, its not the tendon itself thats hurting but the surrounding muscular tissue in response to the vascular shock. Vascular shock, to much more severe degree, is the reason your chest muscles hurt when you're having a heart attack.
The same principle can be applied to ticklish knees: when you apply pressure to the joint, the tendons react and bring attention to it by alerting the efferent "pain" sensors. But because there is no actual damage being done, the brain interprets the transmission as a mild "twinge" which may vary in and of itself to be a "shiver" or a "tickle".
There are a lot more pressure points like this one; the most obvious is the armpit.

Hope this helped to some degree to answer your question; sorry if i talked your ears off. Lol

Yeah that's just ticklishness Bug hehe. Like Relent has said you weren't putting pressure onto the nape of your neck so it's not a pressure point. So just imagine how it would feel if someone did apply pressure to the nape of your neck rather than the water just touching it!! :stickout
