Myth 2 that we hear often is that significant pressure needs to be applied for strangulation to be harmful.
This is not correct.
An average male handshake is 80 to 100 PSI and it takes only on 4 PSI to block main veins on a neck.

Over the #16Days we will be exploring #myths around #Strangulation. Strangulation does not always leave marks. Despite what you see in tv series, movies, video games & hear in music.
Just because a victim/ survivor has no marks does not mean they haven't been strangled.
Good to see the work of SARCS being recognised. Even managed to catch a glimpse of myself and some of my Scottish colleagues when we were at Buckingham Palace in May 24. @BarbaraAnnRobb1 @MissCScotland @VisitingHealth@NHSForthValley

Representatives of SARCS, a dedicated NHS Scotland service for people who have experienced recent rape or sexual assault, were among those who met Her Majesty The Queen at Buckingham Palace.
The Queen thanked those who work to support people who access this vital service.
I was honoured to have the opportunity to speak with Her Majesty about the work we do in @NHSForthValley and the impact of the wash bags supplied by @InKindDirect the charity Her Majesty supports.
