History:

With the origins of Seated Acupressure originating from Oriental Medicine, and rooted within Oriental beliefs, techniques are used along traditional Meridians with the aim of enhancing the flow of Qi (energy) throughout the body, as both a preventative measure, by way of preventing any blockages to the flow of Qi, and also to restore, by way of ensuring that any disruption to the flow of Qi is rectified, thus aiming to ensure health and well-being ^[1-4].
