The Acupressure Mat Set is ideal for pain relief and aiding in improving blood circulation. With its easy to use and portable design you can comfortably use the mat in minutes after a workout, before bed or whenever or wherever needed. The Acupressure set includes a mat, pillow and massage ball for maximum destress and relaxation. The handy travel bag also allows for easy transportation and storage. Benefits: The 303 plastic discs, each with 27 individual pins, help stimulate the pressure points of the skin and encourage the body to release endorphins. Endorphins are the body's natural stress and pain relief so even as little as 15 minutes on the acupressure mat promotes muscle relaxation, stress relief and pain relief after a long day or tough work out. The acupressure mat set is also ideal for easing tension in the body to allow for a better nights sleep and alleviate headaches. The Komodo Acupressure Set is not limited to individual work outs but is also suitable for everyday, workout classes, sleep aids, meditation and runners. The pressure points unblock your body's energy, allowing muscles to relax from top to toe with non-invasive pressure stimulation. How To Use: Komodo's Acupressure Mat and Pillow work by applying pressure to various points on the body. Simply set the mat down (with or without the pillow) on the floor, bed or sofa and slowly lower yourself onto it. We recommend using skin contact on the mat but beginners will benefit from wearing a light t-shirt until your body gets used to the spikes. Lie on the mat between 15-40 minutes, several times a week, for maximum benefit. If using the pillow, position this in the neck crevice behind your head and allow your shoulder blades to drop back to the mat. The pillow and mat combination works best for sleep and back pain. The accompanying spike ball can be rolled along the body and muscles with minimal force to massage aches and pains.
The Komodo Acupressure Mat Set in Purple is designed for individuals seeking natural pain relief and improved blood circulation. Its primary benefit is promoting muscle relaxation and stress reduction through acupressure stimulation. A potential caveat for new users is the initial discomfort from the spikes, which can be mitigated by wearing a thin layer of clothing. This portable set includes a mat, pillow, and massage ball, offering a comprehensive solution for destressing and recovery.

FAQs
How long should I use the acupressure mat?
We recommend using the mat for 15-40 minutes per session, several times a week for maximum benefit. Listen to your body and adjust the duration based on your comfort level.
Can I use the mat if I have sensitive skin?
It is advisable to start with a thin layer of clothing or a towel between your skin and the mat. If you have any skin conditions or concerns, consult with a healthcare professional before use.
What is the purpose of the massage ball?
The massage ball is designed for targeted self-massage. You can roll it along your muscles to help release knots, relieve soreness, and improve circulation in specific areas.
Is the pillow essential for using the mat?
The pillow is optional but recommended for enhanced relaxation, particularly for neck and shoulder tension, and for improving sleep quality. It can also provide support for back pain.
How often should I clean the acupressure set?
Clean the mat and pillow as needed, typically after several uses or if they become dirty. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
Can children use the acupressure mat?
This product is designed for adult use. We do not recommend it for children. Always supervise if a younger person is using it under specific guidance.
What are the benefits of endorphin release?
Endorphins are your body's natural mood elevators and pain relievers. Their release helps reduce stress, alleviate pain, and promote a sense of well-being.
Troubleshooting
Initial discomfort or pain on the spikes.
Start by wearing a thin t-shirt or placing a thin towel over the mat. Gradually reduce the layer of clothing as your body becomes accustomed to the pressure over several sessions. Ensure you are lying on the mat in a relaxed posture.
Mat or pillow is not providing enough pressure.
Ensure you are lying directly on the mat or pillow without excessive clothing. For more intense pressure, try placing the mat on a harder surface like the floor instead of a soft mattress.
Difficulty relaxing or falling asleep on the mat.
Focus on slow, deep breathing exercises while on the mat. Try using it for shorter durations (10-15 minutes) initially and gradually increase the time. Ensure your environment is calm and conducive to relaxation.
Massage ball feels too hard or uncomfortable.
Use the massage ball with minimal pressure, especially when starting. You can also place a thin cloth between the ball and your skin for a gentler massage. Apply pressure gradually to areas of tension.
