Against all expectations, I really enjoy having my own little bed of nails. In my experience, the Spoonk mat helps alleviate muscular tension and back pain. It also helps me relax after a long day typing away on my keyboard. And with that extra relaxation, I feel that it helps me sleep better too. Good points Might help some people with muscle tension and stress. Robust design. Looks good and is interesting to use.
Comes with clear instructions. Includes a carry bag for travel and storage. Criticisms Takes a few uses to become accustomed to the sensation.
May not suitable if you have blood pressure problems or skin conditions. Lack of real evidence it helps with all the conditions acupressure mats are reported to be useful for. Buy from Amazon. This results in the fabric being cool and comfortable in warm weather, and naturally warmer in cool weather. The porous nature of the fibers also helps to absorb odors. Acupressure is an ancient healing art, originating in India and developed in Japan as Shiatsu massage.
The pressure stimulates the release of blocked energy and increases the circulation in problematic areas. As a result, acupressure relieves muscle tension or pain while rejuvenating and rebalancing the body. Regular use will create a positive state of mind and a general calm and happy state.
The toothbrush comes to mind. Imagine the world without the toothbrush. Remove the foam pad from the cover.
She actually uses an acupressure mat herself for neck and back pain, stopping short at her feet. The real caution is for the elderly or diabetic with poor circulation or thin skin, lest you pierce the skin and get an infection.
Consider me a convert. My tech-neck can get down with some harmless self-soothing for an easy 50 bucks. Oz fan, you may recognize it. This one also comes with a raised pillow for your head and neck — supposedly 6, pressure points in total — and some yin-yang decals for some added hippie appeal.
And for fellow tech-necks: a U-shaped neck pillow that targets neck and shoulder relief with much fewer rosettes for a more targeted, comfortable acupressure massage. Grover says he has recommended them before, especially for athletes or people with chronic muscle pain.
The apparent message is that Spoonk can bestow these very same properties. Any blockage of the flow of chi means bad news. According to traditional Chinese medicine, these blockages can be cleared either by the appropriate application of needles, as in acupuncture, or with physical pressure.
The little spikes are designed to produce some sort of a shotgun effect, clearing all the possible meridian blockages.
Of course that does not mean that acupressure cannot work by some other means. It all sounds very theoretical, but Dr. If you have a toothache, he advised, just rub your hand between the thumb and forefinger with an ice cube. He actually quoted a clinical trial that had demonstrated success. Of course, rubbing a hand with an ice cube for relief of a toothache is a far cry from relaxing or energizing the body by lying on a plastic bed of spikes.
The pertinent question is whether there is any evidence that the mat provides benefit.
