How to Use It
The whole method
- Put the mat on a firm surface - the floor, or a firm mattress. A soft sofa spreads the points too far apart.
- Lie back slowly. Do not drop onto it. Let your weight settle in over a few seconds.
- Stay for 15-20 minutes. Breathe normally.
- Get up the same way you got down - slowly.
The first session
It will feel sharp. That is normal and it is what everyone reports. If it is too much, wear a thin t-shirt between you and the points - most people drop the shirt within a week.
By minute five the sharpness usually turns to warmth. Some people fall asleep on it.
The pillow
Use it under the neck and upper shoulders - that is where desk tension actually sits. You can also put it under your lower back or under your feet.
When to use it
Evening works best for most people, before bed. It replaces the scroll rather than adding to your day.
Looking after it
Spot-clean the cover with a damp cloth and let it air dry. Do not machine wash with the points inside.
When to check with a doctor first
If you are pregnant, have a skin condition where you would lie, take blood thinners, have a pacemaker, or have diabetes with reduced sensation - speak to your doctor before using it.
