What is an acupressure mat and what are the types
.
An acupressure mat (also known as an acumata) is a type of thin mattress fitted with dozens of points ending in small, sharp spikes. When applied to the skin, they exert pressure on numerous acupressure points in the body (according to Chinese medicine, they connect the surface of the body to the internal organs). And this can have many benefits for your health and well-being.
The acupressure mat works on the principle of mechanical pressure, which has a stimulating effect on many systems in the human body. The contact of the spikes with the tissues results in an increase in their congestion and, consequently, better oxygen transport and faster regeneration. Akumata has a relaxing and loosening effect on the entire body, as it is a stimulus for the nervous system..

How does the acumata look like?
There are dozens to hundreds (depending on the size of the mattress) of circular rosettes attached to the mat, which are topped with sharp spikes (rest assured, they are safe for health and skin). Their number, spacing and material may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.
This is an example of the appearance of the rosettes in different acumat manufacturers.
Some people colloquially say "spiked mat", which can evoke unpleasant associations with stabbing - however, they are unfounded. The spikes in the mat are properly shaped, smooth and do not injure the skin.
What types of acupressure mats are there?
.
The simplest division of acumat refers to the material from which the spikes are made:
.
- mats with plastic spikes (a good choice for beginners who want to try acupressure), .
- mats with metal spikes (for the advanced or adventurous who want to feel a strong sensation right away).
- Mats with metal spikes (for the advanced or adventurous who want to feel a strong sensation right away).
Acumates can also vary:
- size, .
- the material covering the mattress, .
- the filling of the mattress, .
- type of spikes, .
- the material of the rosettes, .
- number of stimulation points, .
- additional accessories (e.g. cushion). .
Acupuncture is the pricking of painful areas with a needle. Acupressure is the pressing, stroking or tapping of specific points on the body.
Criteria: how to choose a good acupressure mat?
.
When looking for the optimum mat for yourself, pay attention to:
- Material from which the mat is made. Cotton or linen/cotton mats breathe better and offer a high hypoallergenicity compared to plastic products.
- Material.
- Plastic from which the spikes are made. Rosettes should be made of a good quality plastic (e.g. HIPS) that is hypoallergenic and non-irritating.
- Filling. It should be soft, mouldable to the body, breathable and hypoallergenic (e.g. coconut fibres).
- Accessories.
- Accessories. For complete relaxation and effective pain management, it is advisable to buy a set together with a neck pillow.
- Certifications. Manufacturers whose products are certified (e.g. medical device) guarantee the quality of workmanship.
Important
Note the number of spikes in the rosette. The more, the more intense the stimulation. Beginners or people with a low pain threshold should choose mats with fewer spikes. This will reduce the discomfort felt at first and it will be easier to gradually increase your pain tolerance.

*Before purchasing a mat for your child, consult your doctor.
The use of acupressure mats is a good adjunct therapy for the treatment of pain and tension. However, regular relaxation on an acumat by itself will not cure us. The basis should be cooperation with a physiotherapist and your own work with your body: regular stretching, watching your posture, healthy sitting habits..

What is acupressure?
.
Acupressure is an alternative treatment method originating in Chinaand. It assumes that pressing appropriate acupuncture points in the body stimulates nerve endings connected to internal organs located in given areas of the body. The resulting nerve impulses reach the affected organ and have a positive effect on reducing pain and improving organ function.
Scientific evidence supporting the positive effects of acupressure on various areas of health is limited or inconclusiveand. However, it is a safe, non-invasive and easily accessible method for everyone that can provide relief from pain and tension.
Alternative treatments are a variety of remedies and therapies that are used for therapeutic or preventive purposes, but whose beneficial effects have not been proven or are negligible in the light of traditional (conventional) medicine.
Does a spiked mat help?
.
Yes, the spiked mat helps with many tension and pain complaints. Even if we are sceptical about acupressure, its theories about energy flow and the balance of yin and yang, we cannot deny the effect that pressure and stimulation has on our muscles.
The spiked mat is a great way to help our muscles.
Stimulation of nerve endings, such as with an acupressure mat, induces a course of impulses in our nervous system. On a physical level, acupressure canand:
- increase blood flow through the internal organs, .
- expand blood vessels, .
- increase muscle temperature, .
- affect blood pressure and heart rhythm, .
- affect the neurohormonal system (e.g. hormone production). .
The pressure of the spikes on the tissues results in increased congestion, better oxygen transport and faster regeneration. Such stimulation also has a relaxing and loosening effect on the whole body, as it is a stimulus for the nervous system..

.
When will I see results?
.
A reduction in pain and a reduction in body tension can be felt as soon as a few minutes after starting the massage. An acupressure session before bed can help you fall asleep after just thefirst use. If your problem is stress-related tension, massage yourself systematically and wait for the effects for a few days.
Use the mat regularly and it will certainly bring you many benefits. However, remember that using the mat alone will not cure your ailments. Work (either on your own or with the help of a physiotherapist) on correct posture, regular stretching exercises, 'movement hygiene' and try to reduce your daily stress.

Side effects of using acupressure mats
.
Using an acupressure mat as intended and in consultation with a specialist (e.g. physiotherapist) should not result in any negative side effects. Initial contact with the mat may cause redness of the skin (which passes within a few minutes).
First contact with the spikes on the mat, especially for sensitive people, may not be very pleasant. To minimise discomfort, start by lying on the mat in thin clothing for a shorter period of time, such as 5 minutes. Then gradually increase the session time and increase the contact between your naked body and the spikes on the mat..

Professional reviews of acupressure mats
.
Regular relaxation on an acupressure mat increases blood circulation in the tissues, accelerates metabolism in the stimulated area and is a direct stimulus to the body's regenerative capacity. The effect can be to smooth and firm the skin, improve skin tone and overall condition, and accelerate healing processes..
.
Katarzyna SrebrCosmetologist
I most often recommend the use of an acupressure mat to patients with back pain to relax the paraspinal muscles, increase blood circulation to the tissues and reduce pain. Relaxation on the acumata is a good complement to the manual therapy performed by the physiotherapist and to your own work on relaxation. The mat does not cure ailments, but it supports the healing and regeneration process very well..
.
Justyna Wawryszukphysiotherapist
The acupressure mat will be great for women after childbirth. It will bring relief to tired, tense muscles and be a moment of relaxation during the difficult peri-partum time. The time and intensity of the stimulus should be gradually dosed. A woman's nervous system after giving birth is very sensitive and tends to overstimulate..

How to use acupressure mats
.
Acupressure mats can be used in several ways:
.
- .
- Lying flat on your back or stomach. Place a mat (and pillow if you have one) on the floor and lie down on it (preferably naked). Cover yourself with a blanket so you don't get cold. The massage can last from 5 minutes to an hour. .
- Mat Walking. A great option for tired feet. Lay the mat flat on the ground and slowly walk on it or stand still. The massage can last from a few to several minutes. You can also lay the mat on the ground while working at your desk and control the pressure. .
- Sitting with a mat. Place the mat (and cushion if you have one) on a sofa or armchair, for example, while watching a TV series. Lean back comfortably (and neck if you are using a cushion). The massage will do itself!
Tip
.Don't limit yourself - you can also take the mat outdoors. An outdoor massage surrounded by greenery is sure to intensify the relaxation!
Don't worry if you find it difficult to get used to home acupressure at first. I remember a friend of mine bought a mat with metal needles, but didn't have time to use it regularly. It served us as a birthday game of "Who can hold out longer".
Rules: whoever lasts longest on the mat - wins. Participants: amateurs themselves. Results: eight people with a funny pattern on their back. Recommended!
