When would you use the pressure point technique 'hollow behind the collarbone'?

The pressure point technique known as 'hollow behind the collarbone' is effective in guiding or controlling a subject's movement, particularly when transitioning them from a standing to a seated position. This area is sensitive and applying pressure can create a natural instinct in the subject to comply with the pressure applied. It can provide a level of control by encouraging them to lower themselves without causing injury or undue distress.

This technique is particularly useful in situations requiring de-escalation where physical force needs to be minimized, and compliance should be encouraged through gentle yet effective means. It allows an officer to safely and effectively guide a subject into a more manageable position. Understanding the anatomy involved and the appropriate use of pressure points is critical for safety and effectiveness in law enforcement practices.
