+ Acupressure Mat

Service Description

Please Note: This section is simply for informational purposes only! Do NOT book this add-on service on this website. You can add this onto your session by selecting it in your 24 hour Confirmation Form. $5. Acupressure mats are thin rectangular cushions with a bunch of little plastic points. The length of the mat will cover most of your back. These plastic points press into your body but are not powerful enough to puncture the skin. Similar to acupuncture, acupressure is based around the meridians (energy lines and points on the body). The acupressure mat is broad so applies pressure over a large surface area rather than a single point. You will lie on an acupressure mat for up to 20 minutes while face up on the table. If this is your first session, a lightweight sheet may be placed over the acupressure mat to reduce intensity. The first time using an acupressure mat may be slightly uncomfortable (but tolerable) but sequential sessions are much more tolerable and for some, very enjoyable. Benefits: Lowers stress levels Reduces anxiety Reduces pain & tension Promotes restfulness & helps with insomnia or issues falling asleep Increases sense of well-being + so much more!
