Generally the force isn't capable of that kind of precision. It swats at and pushes stuff but isn't capable of entering someone's body. For example, Vader can choke people bluntly, but can't pinch an individual artery.
That should be the way it is. I agree with others stating that all these new force powers are dumb and just ways to get around bad writing. The light and dark side both have their characteristic powers. You can learn some hidden powers by really going on a deep dive into meditation and research (for example Darth Plagueis after total mastery of the force may have gained some ability to control life and death), but you shouldn't just be able to, for example, fly through space whenever it's convenient.
