finger pressure
Digit pressing down
Finger pressure is force applied using the fingers, typically in massage, acupuncture-related therapies, or physical examination.
The term often appears in contexts like shiatsu, where specific points on the body receive targeted pressure: Apply gentle finger pressure to the temples to relieve tension.
It also describes how firmly to press when testing ripeness, checking for tenderness, or working with materials.
