Step 1: Choose a Comfortable Surface**
- Place your acupressure mat on a flat, firm surface like the floor, a yoga mat, or a bed. Avoid uneven or overly soft surfaces to ensure proper pressure distribution.
Step 2: Start Slowly
- If you're new to acupressure, begin with short sessions of 5–10 minutes Gradually increase the duration as your body adjusts to the sensation.
Step 3: Position Yourself Correctly
For Back Pain Relief**: Lie down on the mat with your back against the spikes. Bend your knees if needed for comfort.
For Neck and Shoulder Relief**: Place the included pillow (or a rolled-up towel) under your neck while lying down.
For Feet: Stand or sit on the mat to stimulate pressure points on your feet.
Step 4: Relax and Breathe Deeply
- Focus on slow, deep breaths to help your body relax. Allow the spikes to gently stimulate your pressure points. It may feel intense at first, but the sensation should become more comfortable over time.
Step 5: Adjust for Comfort
- If the pressure feels too intense, place a thin cloth or shirt between your skin and the mat. Over time, you can reduce the padding as your body adapts.
