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

You WILL get relief…just buy it!!
Just get it. I’m writing this review after owning mine for years and still using it daily. After 6 years, it’s still going strong. Could I stand to get a fresh one or a mat with a more powerful pressure point pattern? Sure…but this one still works fabulously.In 6 years, I’ve determined my body craves the relief this mat gives. It relieves my lower back pain from sleeping in the same position all night, it provides nearly immediate relief to my plantar fasciitis and of the 4 times in 6 years I’ve had a pinched nerve between my shoulder blades from and over-use of my back (I’m 43 and like to tackle home reno projects on my own like a boss), it provides quick relief of the tingling in my fingertips and temporary relief while ibuprofen and muscle relaxers kick in. This may also provides me with relief from slow digestion/constipation. Most importantly, thus may provides me with a way to effectively wake up in the morning (makes a great replacement to hitting snooze a bunch of times) as well as provides a great way to calm the body before bed.Every day, I wake and immediately lay on this mat. Bare back is the way to go, and I put the neck pillow under my feet while I lay on the mat and the neck pillow provides relief to my plantar fasciitis that is typically inflamed after a period of time off my feet. I set a timer for anywhere from 7-15 mins, but generally 8 mins is my sweet spot. When time is up, I roll over and do the same amount of time on my bare stomach and this helps aid in digestion. Makes me “like clockwork”First few times…maybe even first few weeks…this mat may be uncomfortable. It’s not painful…but getting used to how it feels is not immediate. Power through it, resist the urge to shift positions. Eventually there’s no uncomfortable feeling and you look forward to it! Also, when you get up, you can feel itchy…you can rub to relief, but fight the temptation to itch fiercely. It goes away after a minute.This works for muscular pain…will not fix or relieve other issues like swollen discs, etc. might be effective on joint pain but I use for muscular. Worth every penny and lasts forever.

One of my most used items
One of those who never writes reviews but as I lay here on the neck pillow, after struggling with a headache all morning, I had to share how much this has helped me. I originally bought the set in 2022 to help with cramps. The neck pillow, however, is one of the best items I have ever purchased. I will purchase this again and again, right now, both are still holding up great. I use this for headaches. The tips are sharp but if you can make yourself endure the initial sting, you will quickly feel relief. You can wrap and hold it around the parts of your head where you feel pressure. Not conventional but it has been a game changer for me because I struggle with sinus pressure year round. I recommend the mat as well for cramps and back pain. Sometimes if you can pull your knees up to chest, it will apply more pressure and speed up the tension relief. Great purchase.

You get what you paid for which is not much
I’ve tried something in the past and recently feel like I should get my own set so I can enjoy it at home. This one has a lot of reviews and also good rating so I decided to get this a try.When I first got it, it’s actually extremely sharp unlike what I had before. But I figured once you have even pressure over it, it wouldn’t be a big deal, just need to get use to it.Overall it’s not bad, it is slightly shaprtwr than I would like. But that’s not what I gave it a 3 star. The reason is at the material of the fabric and the foam.The fabric is extremely thin, and it’s not a good material neither. I opened up the seam and the foam is quite a joke. It’s so thin and so support at all. It’s pretty disappointing.I know this item is not expensive so if you are right on budget and don’t mind the overall quality or longevity, sure give it a try. But if you want good quality product, you might want to look somewhere else.

It exceeded expectations
To my surprise, this worked remarkably well to quiet my back pain. It is uncomfortable to lie on the mat, as expected. The first day I used it for 5 minutes and had much less pain afterwards. The 2nd day I lay on it for 10 minutes . Afterwards, no pain for the rest of the day! I am healing from several small spinal compression fractures due to osteoporosis. As effective as prescription pain killers.

Atendeu minhas expectativas

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 🙂
