Although it is not exactly proven that it helps you sleep better, it definitely reduces stress and anxiety. So sleep improvement could be an indirect response. Through target pain relief, chronic pain and worst pain intensity is reduced because of resensitization of pain receptors which have stored pain memory. You can reverse it by stimulating those receptors again and thus erase pain pathways in the body.
Just bought one and i am the most skeptical person on earth. I actually LOVE this product!
I absolutely love mine
I was the same.
I put a layer of pillows under the mat so that it completely forms to my body, if I don't I can see there are some places that don't quite make contact. Also I bend my knees so the lower back flattens out and gets equal pressure.
Definitely relieves any back tension you have, and if used in the evening I feel like I can fall asleep faster and deeper when the night is over.
I’ve used it already 2 nights in a row, better sleep since the first try! BUT, I think it’s because I’ve accidentally fallen asleep on it 😂 hey, at least it helps me in many many positive ways!! Reliefs my chronic inflamed body pains, anxiety, and not much insomnia. I can get through my days the day after using it much better than without it. I can’t live without it now that I own one, everyone , please get one!!
I was very skeptical for very long time, watching my brother use it. And bought one, it is my 4th day using it and I love it. I am still testing it, but for now I had very good night sleep past 3 nights. Will see.
Seems to me it could release endorphins similar to how those of us receive a release during tattoo work!
I use it to scratch my back
I just brought the pillow from $5 below and I love it. I do have the mat and pillow set also.
They are so helpful to relax especially the headband helps to get rid of headaches
Elena Jayne omg they make headbands!?! gonna need
That's what I'm saying I did not know they made one where do we find it
I sleep on one every night.
The audience exaggerates so much.
Oohhh ahhhh ouch! Wow!
I love my shanti mat. It helps with restless leg and pain for me. I’m in the US
It takes a few sessions, tough it out, it is worth it.
I don’t know what voodoo magic is at work there but it makes me fall asleep every single time within 20 min. I never fall asleep easily. I wonder if the pain is numbing lol and I’m actually passing out, but I always feel so relaxed after around 15 min
I've been doing this lately, it definitely helps me sleep better.
Does it helps with back pain relief for spinal disc bulges
My friend, I have the same issue. The McGill big 3 led by Dr. Stuart McGill is very much worth looking into. This mat can help, but McGill is the truth. Best of luck, I know how difficult disc bulge pain is
I LOVE mine!
where can i buy it .. the acupressure mat .. i want to get it .

What if u are pregnant can u use this

No

Mersais Castillo wow. You were first on a video with 3 whole comments. What an accomplishment.
So the pillow is worth?
Most definitely especially if you get a lot of headaches or if you have shoulder pain due to sit at a desk
@@penniward3317 I ended up getting a contoured bamboo pillow. It's improved my condition to at least 90% with some off days still bc of my cradled sleep position. Thank you for your insight, I'd still give it a go
