This natural relaxation and accupressure mat is developed together with a group of experienced massage specialists. It features more than 106 acupressure points to stimulate only the most effective and important areas of your back. No matter how wound-up you may be before, fifteen to twenty minutes on this mat will help you slow down and relax. The mat has been tested by people from different age groups (30 to 70) and has received high ratings and positive feedback from all of them. The mat contains a soft and comfortable pillow, two mid rows of fixed wooden balls, to stimulate accupressure points next to the spine, movable wooden balls on both sides and bigger wooden balls at the bottom to massage buttocks. You can adjust the massage balls on the side to a comfortable position. In addition, those areas on both sides are also great for foot reflexology. How to use the relaxation mat: It is recommended that you start using the mat by lying on it for just a few minutes. Slowly extend the time from day to day. Only when you feel comfortable lying on the mat, perform the exercises shown in the user guide, moving from lighter to heavier (from top to bottom). Position yourself on the mat so that your spine is between the two central rows of beads. These beads should not put direct pressure on your spine. Only natural materials are used: ILLM relaxation and acupressure mat is made of linen fabric. The fabric is woven specially for the relaxation mat in a small Estonian company, which is known for its high quality and pure natural linen products. The massage balls inside the relaxation mat are made of maple wood. Please note: If you suffer from back problems or other health problems, or have done so in the past, we recommend talking to your doctor before you start using the mat. If any health problems arise during your use of the mat, stop using it and consult your doctor. Maintenance: dry wash only. For customer testimonials, please see 'more info'.
