Acupressure Mat

Acupressure mat with separate head rest, 2 prickle stimulation balls and carry bag

Available in Black and Green or Grey and White, the TOMSHOO Acupressure Set includes 1 Acupressure Mat 1 Acupressure Pillow, 2 prickle stimulation balls and a travel bag. 

One study found that after 3-weeks acupressure mat use resulted in a decrease in subjective ratings of stress levels, and an increase in subjective ratings of sleep quality, concentration and endurance. However, markers such as blood pressure, heart rate, pain threshold and pain tolerance did not change significantly. As a result the study authors suggested that the “Potential beneficial effects of acupressure mats might be bound to specific impairments, such as tension pain” (Kisker and & Schöne, 2023).

Frizzierio et al., 2021 found that using an Acupressure Mat in Association with Therapeutic Exercise relieved pain and improved function and quality of life in people who suffer from Chronic Low Back Pain.
