HOW DO SPIKEOLOGY ACUPRESSURE MATS WORK?
The Spikeology acupressure mat has 6,534 spike points made from recyclable ABS plastic (the same non-toxic material Lego is made from) which stimulate acupressure points on your body to reduce muscle tension, improve circulation and stimulate of endorphins (which feel good and are natural pain relievers).
Although sometimes called an 'acupuncture mat', the Spikeology acupressure mat uses only pressure - there are absolutely no needles involved!
HOW DOES IT FEEL?
Expect an initial warmth and pulsing sensation as your body is stimulated and there’s increased blood flow to the area, followed by deep relaxation and perhaps a sense of euphoria as muscle tension is reduced and endorphins are released. Each person will respond slightly differently, of course. You might find it feels different depending on the time of day, your energy levels and how hydrated you are, etc.
Initially, you might only be able to use the Spikeology acupressure mat for a few minutes. This is absolutely fine and you'll probably find that your tolerance will quickly increase as your body becomes familiar with the sensation.
HOW LONG DO YOU USE THE SPIKEOLOGY ACUPRESSURE MAT FOR?
10-20+ minutes per session. You can use it for longer if you feel it’s beneficial for you. In terms of frequency, you can use the Spikeology acupressure mat as often as you like.
IS IT OK TO SLEEP ON MY SPIKEOLOGY ACUPRESSURE MAT?
It's perfectly fine to fall asleep on your Spikeology acupressure mat, as long as you're comfortable. Simply roll off the mat and place it somewhere out of reach when you're ready to do so.
HOW CAN I INTENSIFY MY SPIKEOLOGY ACUPRESSURE MAT ROUTINE?
If you find you’re ready to intensify your Spikeology experience, we recommend trying the following:
- Use your Spikeology acupressure mat on a hard surface, such as on the floor
