Scientific Research
Research on acupressure mats suggests they may help some users relax and may reduce subjective stress or tension, but evidence is limited and effects are not consistently better than active control conditions. One randomized study found benefit as an adjunct to exercise for chronic low back pain management, while another study in healthy young adults found no superior effects versus control. Overall, the evidence supports cautious use for relaxation or temporary comfort, not medical treatment claims.
About
The AcuTech Mat Pro is a full-body wellness tool designed to provide quick pain relief and deep relaxation. It features thousands of spikes that activate energy points on the body, promoting healthy circulation and relieving muscle tightness. This mat is inspired by the ancient Indian practice of using a bed of nails for healing, stimulating acupoints along the body's meridian system without puncturing the skin.
The mat is approximately 3 feet long and 1.5 feet wide, making it suitable for covering the entire spine from neck to hip. It consists of three separate panels that can be used individually for different body parts, such as feet, palms, or thighs. For optimal results, it is recommended to use the mat for at least 20 minutes on bare skin, although a light t-shirt can be worn initially to get accustomed to the sensation.
Using the AcuTech Mat Pro can help relax muscle fibers, stimulate the production of pain-blocking endorphins, and promote deep sleep by reducing cortisol levels, a stress hormone. It also enhances blood circulation and lymphatic flow, which can improve the body's digestive and respiratory systems. The mat is recommended by medical experts as an effective self-care tool for managing pain and stress.
