Product Description

Acupressure, an ancient healing art, uses pressure to press key points on the surface of the skin to stimulate the body's natural self-curative abilities. When these points are pressed, they help relax muscular tension and promote the circulation of blood and the body's life force to aid healing. Acupuncture and acupressure use the same points, but acupuncture employs needles, while acupressure uses the gentle but firm pressure of the hands or feet, or use the blunt spikes of acupressure balls or mats. Acupressure Fitness products, such as our Body Mat, are designed to maximize the healthful benefits of acupressure in convenient and well made products. We encourage you to consider our products as part of your overall health and fitness program.

When you first start using it it hurts at first but after awhile you start getting use to the feel of it. The "nails" are made of plastic and do not hurt you. It's best to start gradually with a thin shirt and then eventually with no shirt at all. I like it because you can put it on any part of your body and you will feel the blood flow going towards the skin. It has a nice warming feeling to it and if you can tolerate the initial pain you will love it. Not sure about the long term medical benefits of it, that is unsubstantiated, but it is a definite relaxation tool. I fall asleep on it.

This mat really helps to relax before bedtime. My back often pops a few times when I first lay down which relieves pain.

I feel this mat was the best buy out there. I paid $29.99 and shipping was free. It appears durable, has a cotton cover, and has a good foam pad inside. I think some of the other top rated pads may be hyped by people that have a financial interest in the pad - be careful of their shipping fees. Anyway I used it the first time without a shirt and was up to 20 minutes by the second use. Just be careful getting on and getting off. If it hurts too much as first, I find by lifting yourself up a little then laying back down can help.
