helps with backpain and relaxation

I have had 3 back surgeries which were successful but bending still put me in pain. I had left shoulder surgery and 6 months ago had the nerve pain blocked on a disc in my neck. Neck is much better but muscles in the left side still tightened up daily. I was in physical therapy for past few months for neck and exercises helped some but still had a fair amount of pain. Last week my mat arrived. The first night it was painful to lie on but after 15 min I couldn't believe my neck pain was gone. By day 3 I was in love with it. Four days ago was the first time I attempted to mop the floors in about 17 years (my husband had to do them). When I finished my neck hurt a lot, my lower back was killing me and I had a headache. I couldn't wait to try the mat. I laid down on the mat and had the pillow under my neck. After 30-45 min my headache was gone, back pain 1/2 gone. My neck muscles were feeling better but still tight. I laid on each side 10 min with the neck pillow. Neck pain was completely gone! I got up and went back to work and a little later the remaining back pain was gone. It felt like a miracle. Before I would have had to lie in bed for days while taking muscle relaxers and some pain meds. I didn't take any meds this time. - when I read I just lie on the pillow. Now it feels heavenly to me as I move my neck around. I can feel endorphins being released. I also lie daily on mat for about 1/2 hour. The weird thing is since the very first night how deep my sleep has been. I am ready to start weaning myself off of sleep meds slowly. I really feel like this is a miracle and have told several people about it already. Also, my neck muscles were always rock hard and I have ringing in the ears. The ENT doc said blood was not getting through. I still have ringing but it has gone from an 8 to a 3-4. Yesterday, I thought something was not working on our washing machine. My husband said it always did that. I could never hear it before because of the ringing~ I am sending my son-in-law one as he is a veteran who suffers in a lot of chronic pain. -- this has helped me more than massages ever did and I think insurance companies should give them to anyone who suffers with muscular pain. It would save them a ton of money in meds. - tip: to lie on the mat with the least amount of pain, put the mat on the bed and sit down next to it. Stretch out and slowly roll yourself on to it. The closer you are to the mat the less painful. The mat still is painful to lie on after a week, though it greatly helps, but the pillow feels great right away. Another tip, when lying on the side with your neck on the pillow, use a piece of cloth under your ear or a pillowcase.

I saw this thing and originally thought it was a total scam. But there were lots of reviews in favor of it, so I ordered it knowing I could return it if necessary. I am 6'2, 220lbs and have back pain from a compressed disc. On a scale of 1-10, my pain usually ranges from a 4 to a 7, depending on the day. You wouldn't think something like this could help with back pain, but it really does. I've been using it for a few months and I have to admit it really helps. The keyword though is HELPS; it does not eliminate pain.Before using this thing:I usually had some pain every day, varies depending on the day. Even on a good day I still had a little pain.After using this thing for like a month:I usually had some pain most days. If I had a bad back day I could lay on the mat for 20-30 minutes in the evening and I'd feel pretty reasonable for the rest of the night and usually into the next day. Maybe even the whole next day.After using this thing for a few months:I still have some pain and some bad back days, but in general I feel pretty good. When watching TV I always sit with the Nayoya mat against my back (almost every day), usually shirtless, and I rarely need to lay on the floor with the mat anymore. Once in a while I'll even have a day or two that I don't even think about back pain, but usually there's at least a little pain going on.It's important to note that I've been seeing a chiropractor for most of this year. I'm sure some of my pain relief can be attributed to those visits, but using the Nayoya mat really helped. Ultimately I am a fan of this product and I'm definitely glad I bought it. I want to give it 5 stars but I'm gonna give it 4 because of the cost. Why does this thing cost freaking $50+? It certainly doesn't feel super high quality (I would actually say it feels kinda cheap). I don't quite understand how a spike mat can cost more than an amazon echo dot. But when it really boils down to it, I am glad I did buy the Nayoya mat.If you have back pain I recommend giving this a try. You can return it if it doesn't help you (make sure to do so within the return window), so you really have nothing to lose.
