ProsourceFit Acupressure Mat and Pillow Set for Back/Neck Pain Relief and Muscle Relaxation

Have had this mat since 2021 and I cannot tell you how much it helps. For those saying it’s too spiky, of course it is. It’s not going to feel amazing the first few times you lay on it, but your skin will adapt. Starting out only a few minutes or laying a very thin sheet over top can help. Within 10 minutes I can feel my blood pressure and heart rate drop, my anxiety lifts, and I feel grounded. I do this a few nights a week before bed and it helps my sleep as well. It’s held up very well for the price, the only thing I would like is if they would offer a tote or some kind of storage.

I've had this for about a year now and decided to write a review. I bought a used one on Amazon Resale because it was about $10 cheaper than buying a new one. Although it wasn't sent in the original packaging, the item was almost new, had no stains or defects, and was in good condition. I lead an active life, playing sports and exercising every day, but maybe because now that I'm in my 50s, I often have pain and ailments all over my body. I've been trying out various recovery items and I decided to give this item a try after reading positive reviews. At first, it was too painful to use this on my bare skin, so I had to lie down for about a minute with a thin tank top on. All I felt was pain and didn't feel any comfort first, but after using it 2-3 times a week for a few months, I was able to lie on my bare skin without feeling like I am hurting myself. I continued this for a year and now I feel so good that I fall asleep after about 10 minutes of lying on my bare skin. I can sleep on the mat for about 45 minutes. This is a guaranteed way for me to have a power nap after a vigorous exercise and I feel refreshed when I wake up. Also, it seems to help pain in my back or buttocks when I sleep on it. Every time I use this item. I feel a great sense of refreshment and relaxation that nothing else can provide. It also helps regulate my autonomic nervous system. As for the head pillow, I never used it because it was too stimulating for my head, but recently I tried putting my feet on the pillow while sleeping on the mat and it felt really good! Now I use it only for my feet. I like it because I can massage the acupressure points on my feet which are not usually stimulated because we all wear shoes and socks all day. As for the mat, other than sleeping, my favorite way to use it is to sit on the balance ball as soon as I wake up in the morning and do some pelvic stretches while placing the mat under my feet. This stimulates my foot and wakes me up quickly. My husband likes the mat too, but how he uses is a bit different. He is 190 pounds (almost 100 pounds more than me) so it seems to hurt to lie on it (probably because of his weight?) and he says that lying on his stomach on a regular yoga mat with this mat on top of his back is just right. Either way, we both really like it.

If this product helps with my lower back pain as it claims, it will be money well spent. I tried it first with a t-shirt and gem shorts but could hardly feel the prickles. Then I tried it with "less" clothes ... ouch! So, back to the shirt and shorts. I did 15 minutes, as recommended, the first time then 20 minutes. I can't tell if it did any good yet, but I'm sure it will take many more applications before I see any changes. Maybe I'll report in a few months if anything happens.

For a couple days due to my herniated bulging disc (in my L4,L5 and S1) it took me almost an hour just to stand up in the morning. Standing up straight after that and taking a step was even more excruciating. I was worried I was going to have to get my nerve burning done again. But it was around the holiday season and I knew I wouldn't be able to get in anytime soon. So being able to not function I decided to look for remedies on here. I ran across this magical mat... And seeing so many people with the same problems I was having I was at a point I didn't care I figured it can't hurt to try! Especially because I could barely sleep because I couldn't get comfortable, walking and moving was excruciating. I was in so much pain I was just crying I couldn't take it anymore. When the mat showed up I couldn't wait to try it! I will say I was in quite a shock trying it out the first time... The pain was tolerable but it was definitely there for the first minute but I toughened through it because I figured it's better than dealing with pain all day long! After breathing and relaxing and not moving so that my body was settled. I started getting this really warm feeling all over my back. Felt amazing! It was uncomfortable to lay on but not unbearable. About 10 minutes in I honestly started to doze off! I hadn't been able to rest in days and somehow this created such a release that I fell asleep for the next 30 minutes feeling no pain(I made sure to set a timer for 45 minutes prior to laying down on the match so I didn't go over the suggested time). Getting off the first time without putting more pressure on one area was not very easy but the more I used it the easier it got and I figured out a method. I found that laying down where my back is pretty much on the mat at the same time instead of focused on one area I do a crab walk on my elbows till I'm above the mat and then slowly lower my body. The next morning though I couldn't believe it it took me maybe a minute to get out of bed it was like I was a brand new person! I really honestly did not think it was going to do that much to turn it around because nothing in the past has ever helped! I'm so glad for all the great reviews people left and I will say that I recommend this mat to anyone and everyone I can because it is a total game changer I use it everyday and have not had pain since that day! And especially for the price you can't go wrong! I used it on the floor and usually put a towel underneath my head since I'm not so fond of the neck piece I usually put that underneath my feet which feels wonderful! And I will definitely say that you're not going to get the full effects unless you lay on the mat bare-skinned. If you have back pain or knots.. or just need a good way to de-stress...this is it!!! Seriously magic!!!!!!!

Just one day since I used it. Haven't felt more energetic and relaxed in years! It's a game changer for someone like me with ankylosing spondilitis, then I can't imagine what it will do for someone with back pain with no underlying disease. I've included it as a meditation, and it's just blissful how I feel pranaali energy in parts of my body which were for so many years only in pain. Thank you prosource for this. Planning to buy one more so that I can have greater coverage on legs simultaneously. I also have radiating pain in my arms. So just rest my arms on it and lay a yoga bolster on top for greater pressure as arms aren't heavy enough to feel much. Another mat would help me do both arms simultaneously. I'm in love with this new ritual to my daily routine. Which is just so pleasurable. After the initial discomfort though. What helped was taking deep breaths and allowing myself to be present with the sensations. Soon it started becoming blissful :)

Mon dos me fait terriblement souffrir depuis des années. Ce tapis atténue très nettement les douleurs, ce qui me permet d'éviter au maximum d'ingurgiter des médicaments. Je le recommande vivement !!!

First time I used it I was scared of the pain, then the second time I adjusted position a bit and can now manage. It feels very warm once you position yourself. Like more warmth/heat than feeling painful. Makes you feel sleepy.

you can buy the same one for 1199 and this products are same …. it’s just waste of money ….

I ordered this product to help with my lower back pain. Getting on the mat is painful. I agree with other reviews that it does take a few minutes to warm up to. After about 5 minutes, it feels amazing. What other reviewers did not mention was how painful it is getting off the mat. Once you struggle to get off, your back feels great. You will have redness and indentations for about 10 minutes. I found drinking a lot of water helpful. I’ve only been using this for two days. I received it in the mail yesterday and used it 3 times in 30 minute intervals. Today I used it on my bed rather than my floor. If you are very sensitive, you can try using it with a light t shirt on. I tried this at first but could not feel the needles at all. I can honestly say that this has made my back feel a bit better but I will definitely have to use it everyday till I’m fully heeled. Quality is good and shipping was super fast.
