HOW TO USE AN ACUPRESSURE MAT?

• Acupressure mats can take some getting used to. The spikes are sharp and can cause discomfort or pain for several minutes, before they start to warm up the body and feel good.
• To get maximum results, use the mat each day for 10 to 20 minutes at a time. Remember to breathe and practice consciously relaxing your body.
• Choose the surface to put it on. Beginners often use the mat spread out on a bed or sofa. Intermediate and experienced users may move their mats onto the floor.
• Try sitting on it. You can also sit on or against the mat in a chair, so that your butt and lower back have direct contact.
• Start out with a layer between yourself and the mat. Wearing a light shirt or placing a thin fabric over the spikes may help you acclimate to the feeling of the mat.
• Lie down slowly. Lie down with your weight evenly distributed on the mat. This will help you avoid injury from the points.
• Reposition yourself carefully. Don’t fidget or move around on the mat, as you may more readily pierce or scratch your skin that way.
• Use consistently. Mats take getting used to, but really seem to work for many people. If this product appeals to you, stick with it and give it time to work.
• PS:If the affect is too intense at first, a thin shirt can be worn to ease your body into the sensation. Over time as your body adjusts you can move to bare-skin for the full experience.
