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

Insomnia is a sleep disorder that causes trouble: Falling Asleep, Staying Asleep, and/or, Waking Up Too Early. For a long time, I've woken up, around 3:00 am, each morning, and couldn't get back to sleep. Argh! As a result, I would be tired during the next day. I've tried numerous treatments, like: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy For Insomnia [CBT-I], Sleep Restriction, Sleep Hygiene, Limiting Screens and Caffeine, etc. I've also tried many Sleep Aids, like: Magnesium. Ashwagandha, Melatonin, Unisom, etc. Nothing worked for me. Sigh! Well, on the evening that I received this Acupuncture mat, I gave myself a good massage. On my: Back, Chest, Buttocks, Legs, and Arms. About 1 hour of massaging. I slept pretty well, until my Alarm Clock, NOT my Insomnia, woke me up, at 6:00 am. My "Sleep" should get even better, as I use this Acupuncture mat some more. Insomnia is highly treatable, and manageable. I've found this Acupuncture mat to be very effective, in treating my Insomnia.

Okay, I hardly ever write reviews but I wanted to write this one for other people who suffer from back pain. I've had upper back pain since I was a teenager due to being gifted a large chest. So I always got that stinging, achy feeling around my shoulder blades and neck. Fibromyalgia runs in my family, so that on top of just having two Big Ol' Obnoxious Tiddies means it was rare for me not to feel pain. I used ibprofen and muscle relaxers occasionally, but didn't want to rely on them. I actually love accupuncture, but I couldn't afford it all the time. So I decided to finally buy one of these mats. I bought it April 12th 2023, and today is June 12th and honestly, I have hardly been in pain these last couple of months. There are still things that might set off my pain (like sitting hunched over for hours working on a project) but my day to day pain has decreased significantly. I haven't taken muscle relaxers in a couple months, and now I only take ibuprofen rarely. I use this mat 20-25 minutes in the morning, and 20-25 right before bed. I got used to it pretty quickly, and use it without a shirt on. It doesn't hurt in the way you think it would. It's more like a sunburn, but not as painful. You would think the last thing you would want to do if you have pain, is lay on a spike mat, but it works. I call it my torture device (in a loving way). It's worth the $30 dollars to try it out and see if it works for you because it made all the difference for me.

I’ve been dealing with a frozen shoulder for over a year and have tried many different treatments with little to no success. Looking for some relief, I decided to give this acupuncture mat a try. I’ve only used it once so far, but my first experience was interesting. The first 5 minutes were pretty intense—almost “spicy”—and definitely required some focus, deep breathing, and relaxation to get through. After that, my body started to adjust, and by around the 20-minute mark, it actually felt very soothing. By the time I reached 40 minutes, I noticed a significant reduction in my pain. While I’m not claiming this is a cure for my shoulder issue, it did provide noticeable relief, which I truly appreciate. I plan to continue using it and will update my review if it makes a difference long term.

I love this- I’ve reccomended to nearly everyone I know to give it a try. The points are sharp and provide stress release and body pain relief. There are much higher quality options out there but if you’re unfamiliar with acupuncture like I was- this is a fair place to start. I like that the cover comes off and is washable bc it can collect some dust/ pet hair if you don’t store it away.

I wanted to get an additional pad because the acupressure pad previously gotten from a different brand years ago was excellent. I love my acupressure pad I purchased in the past but that brand isnt sold anymore so I tried this one. This is brand feel like a cheap immitation of the one I purchased in the past. It has very sharp points that are not slightly blunted like my current acupressure pad. I would be worried this could damage your skin. I would not recommend this. It makes me sad that people will buy this and think that acupressure pads dont work for them but in fact this is just not well made

I wasn’t sure about this at first and now I use it every night. I use it on the bed I find it much better if it can conform to my body and I control it with pillows to make sure it gets everywhere. The pillow it comes with is nothing I can’t use it I just form the mat itself into a neck pillow using my own pillow. Anyway it’s really relaxing and hurts in a good way that feels like it’s helping. Whether it placebo or not. I almost want to find one with spikier spikes.

Hurts bad on body don’t know if I can stick with it.

When I first saw this, Matt, I thought it was a torture chamber. But, I laid on it and took 10 deep breaths and it felt wonderful. The first couple of seconds is uncomfortable. Take a few deep breaths and I promise you will not even know it’s there anymore. I feel wonderful after I spend about 20 minutes being still on the map. I highly recommend this and I’m so happy I did not return it.
