Lying on your back is the most popular way to use The Mat. You can place your mat on any surface - but the most common is on a bed. Soft surfaces make contact between your mat and the lower back easier to achieve. Using The Mat as part of your bedtime routine supports the release of muscle tension, and prepares the body for a deep restful sleep.
The Mat is 10cm longer than other acupressure mats, allowing for full back and neck application.
Neck & Shoulders

Use the Pillow, or roll up your Mat to target these areas. Applying The Mat to the neck and shoulders soothes tired and tense muscles as a result of poor posture, exercise, and everyday stress.
The Mat has clipped discs, allowing the spikes to move and perfectly to the curve of your neck.
Feet

Feet are covered in pressure points making standing on The Mat a perfect way to achieve a deep acupressure effect. Try standing on your Mat or Footpad first thing in the morning or at the end of the day.
