How many acupressure points does the mat reach?

I can't answer your question with any exact number. It can be used almost anywhere on the body, reaching whatever acupressure points you want. You can lay on it on your back, stomach, or side. You can lay either side of your legs on it. You can stand on it. I hope this helps!

I haven't experience acupuncture but the needles on the mat are more like what a massage therapist might do by applying pressure on a muscle.... except there's many needles... so the effect is all over your back all at once. The pillow, placed under the neck, gets at those little muscles at the base of your skull. It's all quite relaxing once you get past the initial little bit of pain from the sharp points pressing on so many places at once.

I think it is 180 (or what ever the number is for the whole face). it is very fine and I use this tip all over my face. I love it.

They range from small, approx 2", point pads to longer pads for across shoulders and backs, approx 6" (I can't find my bag to measure as I just moved).

I tried to go to website listed on package and it did not work, so I searched online from other people, and basically you roll each area about 20 times and hold pressure on any trigger points until they relax, then another 10 or so rolls. Each area comprises a muscle group, and your quad is 4. Roll lengthwise on the muscles.

Absolutely not to large. Works for anyone. You just have to know how to find those pressure points that bother you most & patiently work on them with small movements

I am recovering from a lower back injury so i don't stretch to the maximum, i'm probably using it like a person of short stature would. I can't say so for a really tall person. I do really love this mat :)

At average water pressure of 45 psi the reach is 20 feet from each noodle. However, everyone has different water pressure at their home. "This Old House" gave a general description of 10 to 35 feet depending on water pressure.

I am not sure it ever really stated but I am 191 and the mat is pretty strong. This is well built and I would think it would be okay for you but you may want to check with the manufacturer. Hope this helps.

I love this mat as it does relieve pressure when I have a headache or my back hurts. Not knowing where the acupuncture needles are put for your tennis elbow it is hard to say of those spots will be hit but I would assume they would as you can move around to hit areas you want. Even if it doesn't help for tennis elbow you will love it for all other aches.

Acu-Pressure pointers are for applying pressure to acu-pressure points. Acu-pressure is a system similar to acupuncture that uses pressure on the meridian points to effect a change in energy flow through the body. It is a fairly complex approach to energy balancing and health maintenance that needs to be studied to use effectively.There are tone of references and schools if you are interested learning about acu-pressure.

There are 80 1/2 inches from the floor to the bottom of the top support, so I guess it depends on how long your arms are and whether you use a narrow grip or medium to wide grip. I am 6'1" and do both seated and standing overhead presses. If I used a narrow grip I could not do standing presses.

I don't know, but I found that it did not work for me! I still had problems with sweat when practicing a long time as it did not keep me from slipping. I finally bought a good yoga mat ($75) for yoga and cut off about 6" to make one myself that repels sweat and slippage. I love that. I had to attach it with Velcro and the coffee closures on good quality bean bags to the actual chin rest. I have a center mount and cannot use a shoulder rest. Hope this info helps you. Jone

The travel mat only come in 1/8 inch. If you want a thicker mat get the Harmony pro mat (3/16 inch thick). Jade also makes a super thick mat (5/16 inch) called the Fusion for yoga and pilates - all of these come in 74 inches.

Not sure because I am not overweight. It felt uncomfortable at first as long as I lay still, its fine. Get up a little hard. The only thing is I couldn't motivate myself to lay on this mat daily because it's uncomfortable. I just wish it's adjustable on the needles up and down a little bit to have a comfort mat. Overall, it's a nice product.

Yes, i have used the Heavenly acupressure mat and must say I love it.I had lower back pain and muscle tension and now lye . I noticed immediate pain relief with an added benefit of better sleep. Highly recommend acupressure mats! Heavenly Acupressure Mat - Blue! Also, in 1997, a study was done by Dr. Zilberter using acupressure mats which resulted in 98% of the 126 participants reporting pain relief when they used acupressure mats. They work!!!

I never counted how many positions there are. However, the bacl csn go sll thr esy doen. You Back can stop at any point before it is level. The foot rest is only one level--either up or all the way down like a regular chair. I use it mostly to get up from the chair.
