When muscles are used repeatedly this can lead to pain and inflammation in the body’s soft tissue, also known as the myofascia. The 7,992 acupressure points on the mat and pillow stimulate the myofascial tissue to relax the trigger points around the muscles.
For those suffering from sports injuries, results of a study conducted at the University of Otago revealed promising findings that acupressure decreased the reported pain scores in athletes with acute injuries.
