Acupressure Mat and Pillow Set | Acupuncture Mat for Back and Neck Pain Relief | Pranamat Inspired Accupressure Mats for Stress, Sciatic Pain, Feet Massage | Eco-Friendly Travel Bag Included

I’m a person that gets back spasms (related to a car accident when I was young) any time I get stressed. Due to stressors of the pandemic, I was having back spasms all day long for nearly a week and a half until I gave in and tried this. Before this, I was using bio freeze, salon pas patches, naproxen, Tylenol, stim, heating pads, you name it. So, I got this apparent torture device in the mail, very skeptical that it wouldn even work, and I did get frustrated after 4 days of use (20 minutes each) that nothing was happening. Somewhere between writing any email to the company who encouraged me to give it some more time, and the next few uses, the knots in my back released. Granted, I still get them, but 20 minutes of this with my meditation first thing in the morning keeps the spasms at bay, and some days I have to use it twice. I will say that it takes some time to get used to it, I didn’t feel enough through a shirt, so I immediately went bare skin, and managed to do a very uncomfortable 15 minutes my first round. Now, I can lay on it for 20+ minutes without any issue. As I said, I was a skeptic, and was fully prepared to have it be a disappointment/return, but I’m really happy with it, and will continue to use it daily.The product itself is made very well, and I love that it comes with a pillow and carrying case. My only complaint is that I feel like it should come in multiple sizes for length. I’m curious what a full body mat would feel like!

Great mat! I bought it for a back strain, and it helped me recover so much faster! I was able to use it the first time without a t-shirt for about 10 minutes while laying on my bed, but was quickly able to tolerate 20 minutes. My bed is pretty firm, and I have used it on the floor without difficulty. My 14 year old son took a little longer to use it without a shirt, but within a week he could use it without a shirt. The points are sharp, so I make sure to not hold the mat folded in such a way that my fingers would get between the "lotus" flowers - I almost sliced the skin on my cuticle on my ring finger trying to get it back in the bag after using it the first time.I used the neck pillow as a lumbar pillow initially with great results while sitting. However, when we tried in on our necks, we both had a tremendous amount of soreness in our neck the next day. Reminded me of the lactic acid build up after leg day. Probably would massage out easily, but we decided to just not use it for our necks.After using it, we both sleep so well! My son actually fell asleep ON it one night and his 20min timer woke him up! We honestly fight over it at night over who gets to use it first before bed.Stop scrolling and buy this one. Seriously, this is a fantastic product.

I have trigger points in my traps from carrying around a massive child for the past 2 yrs (I'm assuming) hes a big boy. I couldnt lift upper body...not even 10lb chest press or 10 pushups without excruciating headache the next day...tension up my neck. It would put me in a bad mood, I'd have to take ibuprofen all day. I laid on this may after 1) pushing a 135lb double stroller up 2 hills over the course of 2 miles 2) digging up grass and edging a mulch bed all day (first time in my life doing this) 3) lifting in garage and doing pullups/pushupsThe next day I had no pain. I thought it didnt work but then I realized I was not in pain. I started to have neck pain doing yardwork 2 days later. I took a lunch break and laid on my magical mat... I fell asleep and woke up without headache tension.My husband laid on it to mock me and woke up next day without his normal back stiffness.I love this thing.. absolutely love it. I sit on it...stand (socks!! I cant handle barefeet), I lay face down for stomache and neck... it's totally awesome if you dont buy it you are missing out on the subtle progress you could be making

This mat is not for the faint of heart, it def hurts at first. I’ve had a couple of kids and a few small surgeries so I’m pretty tough and can handle it. Start slowly and work your way up. I did 10 minutes the first few days, now I do 20-25. The key is fining a good spot to lay the mat and not moving your body around.I started using the product about 10 days ago. My back is feeling a bit & better some days are totally pain free. I’ve been telling everyone about this mat, love it!

i like it

Maybe I am impatient, but i have felt no benefit. It sits in my closet, unused

Used it for about a week now. It took some getting used to it in the beginning until I figured out the amount of pain i can take. If you want more pain you lay on it bare skin. If less, you put on a shirt. They key is to get those tingles going through you body and that's when you know that it's working. I've been dealing with back pain for about 5 years now. I can't say that the spikes healed my back but it definitely helps relive that paint. So farI found that using it about once a week does it for me. Also it works best if you do exercises every day or so.My goal is to heal my self 100%. Right now I would say that I am 85-90% healed. The spikes from this mat are not the cure but rather a piece of it. You have to lose weight, exercise, massage therapy. The spikes job is to relive stress that accumulates in the back muscles.Those stiff back muscles are the main reason for the rest of the problems.As far as quality of the mat i would say that is a mid higher end on the scale. Good size, good spikes and has a good cushion. Priced well i believe.
