"What's the difference between pain compliance techniques and body mechanics techniques? In a nutshell, pain compliance involves either manipulating a person's joints or activating certain pressure points to create sufficient pain to achieve compliance. Body mechanics techniques rely on using leverage and momentum rather than pain to gain control of a suspect. Without question, police officers will benefit from being well versed in both skill sets. However, it's important for officers to understand the advantages and limitations of each."
