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

Have had this mat since 2021 and I cannot tell you how much it helps. For those saying it’s too spiky, of course it is. It’s not going to feel amazing the first few times you lay on it, but your skin will adapt. Starting out only a few minutes or laying a very thin sheet over top can help. Within 10 minutes I can feel my blood pressure and heart rate drop, my anxiety lifts, and I feel grounded. I do this a few nights a week before bed and it helps my sleep as well. It’s held up very well for the price, the only thing I would like is if they would offer a tote or some kind of storage.

Update March 2020: My love of Spikeo (affectionate name for this inanimate object) is known through all my friends, and over time many have tried it. At least 4 of my friends who have tried mine ending up buying one. Even people who think it looks terrifying have found it remarkably soothing. One thing: About a year into my relationship with Spikeo I bought another one to live at my parent’s house for when I have longer visits over the holidays. The new one was SO sharp — turns out that with daily use, the spikes get slightly dull over time. Eventually I felt like my original wasn’t packing the same punch, so bought a new one for myself about 18 months after the original purchase. My new one is gray, which is actually quite pretty and a little less garish. I would advise everyone to get new spikes every couple years or so if you want that signature OUCH with your pain relief. Original review: I have fibromyalgia and have spent hundreds of dollars on various pain remedies throughout the years. Most things haven't really helped, including physical therapy -- the only thing that would provide relief was Tylenol and scalding hot showers. This mat appears to be invented by a sadist and it definitely HURTS, but with regular use my pain has become much, much better. It also helps relieve pain when it happens, but I've found it to be more useful in reducing pain generally rather than addressing a particular pain spot. My best evidence of its effectiveness is that I get extremely thirsty after massages and the same thing happens when I lie on the mat for 20-40 minutes. I don't know what the thirst means (a quick Google says something about the lymphatic system?) but I take it as a sign that this mat actually does something for my knotted-up muscles. I love the mat so much that I made the following meme. I hope it helps in your decision on whether to purchase this.

If this product helps with my lower back pain as it claims, it will be money well spent. I tried it first with a t-shirt and gem shorts but could hardly feel the prickles. Then I tried it with "less" clothes ... ouch! So, back to the shirt and shorts. I did 15 minutes, as recommended, the first time then 20 minutes. I can't tell if it did any good yet, but I'm sure it will take many more applications before I see any changes. Maybe I'll report in a few months if anything happens.

For a couple days due to my herniated bulging disc (in my L4,L5 and S1) it took me almost an hour just to stand up in the morning. Standing up straight after that and taking a step was even more excruciating. I was worried I was going to have to get my nerve burning done again. But it was around the holiday season and I knew I wouldn't be able to get in anytime soon. So being able to not function I decided to look for remedies on here. I ran across this magical mat... And seeing so many people with the same problems I was having I was at a point I didn't care I figured it can't hurt to try! Especially because I could barely sleep because I couldn't get comfortable, walking and moving was excruciating. I was in so much pain I was just crying I couldn't take it anymore. When the mat showed up I couldn't wait to try it! I will say I was in quite a shock trying it out the first time... The pain was tolerable but it was definitely there for the first minute but I toughened through it because I figured it's better than dealing with pain all day long! After breathing and relaxing and not moving so that my body was settled. I started getting this really warm feeling all over my back. Felt amazing! It was uncomfortable to lay on but not unbearable. About 10 minutes in I honestly started to doze off! I hadn't been able to rest in days and somehow this created such a release that I fell asleep for the next 30 minutes feeling no pain(I made sure to set a timer for 45 minutes prior to laying down on the match so I didn't go over the suggested time). Getting off the first time without putting more pressure on one area was not very easy but the more I used it the easier it got and I figured out a method. I found that laying down where my back is pretty much on the mat at the same time instead of focused on one area I do a crab walk on my elbows till I'm above the mat and then slowly lower my body. The next morning though I couldn't believe it it took me maybe a minute to get out of bed it was like I was a brand new person! I really honestly did not think it was going to do that much to turn it around because nothing in the past has ever helped! I'm so glad for all the great reviews people left and I will say that I recommend this mat to anyone and everyone I can because it is a total game changer I use it everyday and have not had pain since that day! And especially for the price you can't go wrong! I used it on the floor and usually put a towel underneath my head since I'm not so fond of the neck piece I usually put that underneath my feet which feels wonderful! And I will definitely say that you're not going to get the full effects unless you lay on the mat bare-skinned. If you have back pain or knots.. or just need a good way to de-stress...this is it!!! Seriously magic!!!!!!!

We've been using these mats for a few years now. Not wanting to pay the price for a name brand, we settled on this one. It does take a little getting used to, as it is rather sharp when laying on it at first. But that's part of where the relief comes from. Any pain disappears after a few seconds before you just feel relief. Overall, for the price these mats hold up well. They do "wear" over time, as in the padding starts losing its shape (especially in the neck pillow) and the spikes start losing their sharpness. But that's after heavy use over a year or so. Still way cheaper to buy another one of these 4 or 5 times over before getting to the cost of an expensive name brand mat. Overall good value on these, and highly recommend giving them a try if you have specifically shallow muscle pains.

Just one day since I used it. Haven't felt more energetic and relaxed in years! It's a game changer for someone like me with ankylosing spondilitis, then I can't imagine what it will do for someone with back pain with no underlying disease. I've included it as a meditation, and it's just blissful how I feel pranaali energy in parts of my body which were for so many years only in pain. Thank you prosource for this. Planning to buy one more so that I can have greater coverage on legs simultaneously. I also have radiating pain in my arms. So just rest my arms on it and lay a yoga bolster on top for greater pressure as arms aren't heavy enough to feel much. Another mat would help me do both arms simultaneously. I'm in love with this new ritual to my daily routine. Which is just so pleasurable. After the initial discomfort though. What helped was taking deep breaths and allowing myself to be present with the sensations. Soon it started becoming blissful :)

Mon dos me fait terriblement souffrir depuis des années. Ce tapis atténue très nettement les douleurs, ce qui me permet d'éviter au maximum d'ingurgiter des médicaments. Je le recommande vivement !!!

First time I used it I was scared of the pain, then the second time I adjusted position a bit and can now manage. It feels very warm once you position yourself. Like more warmth/heat than feeling painful. Makes you feel sleepy.

you can buy the same one for 1199 and this products are same …. it’s just waste of money ….

I ordered this product to help with my lower back pain. Getting on the mat is painful. I agree with other reviews that it does take a few minutes to warm up to. After about 5 minutes, it feels amazing. What other reviewers did not mention was how painful it is getting off the mat. Once you struggle to get off, your back feels great. You will have redness and indentations for about 10 minutes. I found drinking a lot of water helpful. I’ve only been using this for two days. I received it in the mail yesterday and used it 3 times in 30 minute intervals. Today I used it on my bed rather than my floor. If you are very sensitive, you can try using it with a light t shirt on. I tried this at first but could not feel the needles at all. I can honestly say that this has made my back feel a bit better but I will definitely have to use it everyday till I’m fully heeled. Quality is good and shipping was super fast.
