An empirical point for a difficult job. Chosen for its descent through the first and second phases of the work.

Acupressure Technique
It is important to support those who apply firm downward pressure with your thumb / jaw / neck. This acupressure point responds to pressure, rubbing and massaging the area may be irritating for women during labor.
When using the thumb of the pressure needs to come from these weapons, rather than the thumb joint - otherwise people will end up with very sore thumbs.
It is not unusual to help people to resort to using the tip of two wooden spoons, but it is best to start with using their hands, if possible. These acupressure points are generally used with the person applying pressure with their knuckles on both shoulders at the same time, but I know women who have successfully used what themselves using a shoulder at a time.

Item Location
When you draw an imaginary line between the place of the bones of the neck (C7), and the top of the shoulder (the acromion process), this point lies midway along this curved line, at the High point of shoulder muscle. He feels tender with a numbing / buzzing / warming sensation (this sensation varies with individuals). The sensation is stronger on this point that all other points along this line, you can find on this point, you make your hand across the chest and palpating with your index finger along this imaginary line. 
                       
The pressure can be applied at the beginning of each contraction or a slight pressure is applied during the contractions intensified.
This acupressure point has a descending action with the first and second stages of labor and may stimulate uterine contractions.
