Guided Acupressure in XR
Acupressure is an ancient healing art based on the traditional Chinese medicine practice of acupuncture. With acupressure, you put pressure on acupoints on your body. Massaging these points regularly can help release muscle tension, alleviate diseases symptoms and promote holistic wellbeing. We aim to educate users to locate acupoints, connect symptoms with acupoints, as well as promote daily practice for a healthier lifestyle.
