I have only had this mat for one week, and I notice improvement with my back pain. It actually gives me relief for about 12 hours. I notice that the pain is less than it was a week ago. I love this thing!

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!!!

Sorry it has taken me so long to respond to you question - but - my husbands health has taken a toll on everything aspect of my life this past 3 months. I slept on the acupressure mat for about 2-3 hours until I had no more back aches or pains down my legs. I used the mat for about 6 weeks straight and now I only use it on occasions. Hope this helps.

This does help and allows blood to flow to those areas . For myofascial trigger points i use nayoya back hook massager to release and then lay on my mat for blood flow and endorphins. The mat acts as a natural analgesic for me . These two products in concert work wonders. I will never be without them! The back hook us temporarily out of stock but Nayoya said it will be in within a couple of weeks . If you are not satisfied with the products Nayoya offers full a refund with no questions asked! You can't go wrong!!

Hi Rita, sorry for the delayed response, I couldn't access my e mail for two months. This product was ridiculous. It is a mat with cheap plastic circles on it that were slightly pointy. There was absolutely no acupressure stimulation in any way. I returned it. I hope you didn't order one, my sin sear apologies if you did.

Did you buy these and did they work for your Golden? I have a GSP with this issue, using the Help Em Up Harness as well and ordering the Back on Track products as well. Using other therapies and hoping for a turn around. It's been a real challenge. Mine went lame on 6.16.14 from disc issues and was dragging hind paws initially. Hope you've seen your Vet or one who specializes in this area. I live in Dallas, TX and Dr Barton at Heal Vet does a lot of therapy for dogs with these issues, she is very kind and busy. Dr Giggleman here also does Vet Chiropractic, he is very gentle. Never allow your dog to get Chiro under anesthesia however. Did you buy these and did they work for your Golden?

It did not work at all for my husband for inoperable chronic disc pain. But if you find it works for you contact me gtrindel45@yahoo.com and you can buy it from me at half the price & shipping. He only used it a couple of times so there is almost a full bag.

The ones from Nayoya Wellness are also very good. I have just brought a set (pillow and mat) from them. In term of these mats, both Spoonk and Nayoya are very good brand. However, other brands of mats that sold on Amazon are not as good quality. I found that the Spoonk and Nayoya mats help me to release back, shoulder, and neck pains. Also relax you to sleep.

yeah, guess it does say that -- actually I'd not buy this product if you are looking for a cushion to compensate for posture -- it has 8 pads that provide several levels and modes of vibration -- also heat. I use the vibration functions to assist my really skrewed-up lumbar and it provides considerable relief, quickly, and with some lasting effect. pads at back of thigh (hamstrings') and mid back at base of trapezius and bottom of shoulder blades provides a lot of relief -- but that's MY back. If you're getting chronic issues because of posture or upper-body mass distribution I'd probably look for a different product.

Hi,We wanted to try it on aches and pains.....my husband hurt his back in Viet Nam, and a lot of times his meds don't help much. This helps a little, but we have to be careful because too much of it burns.

I think it is very hard to judge this, for another person. I can tell you this though: I have severe spine problems and have found it impossible to be comfortable,for at least 13 year, since my accident. I have always slept on a firm mattress, because it was recommended by my orthopedist, but didn't feel comfortable. I decided to try the foam topper and can tell you that it has made a big difference in my level of pain. I sleep much better with it, though it doesn't change the level of firmness from the mattress. It just seems to form to my body,which relieves me. You will have to make the judgement about your changing weight and whether it is worth it to experiment. My decision was based on the need for relief and for me the price was worth it, to just try. It is costs a lot less than a whole new mattress, even though $200 + can be also be lot of money,for many of us! I am 73 yrs old and injured. I weigh about 140 lbs. I hope this info is helpful to you.....and best wishes to you and your baby!

HI again! I wanted to add that topical treatments like this are a must.But there are some fantastic supplemental formulas too. CURAMIN is such a strong pain reliever that it out does my prescriptive pain relievers for certain types of pain. And I've had my shoulder pulled out of the socket by muscle spasms and then held there for a year while my massage therapist worked on tearing my muscles back into shape and it popped back in.

don't know about fibromyalgia. I have low back problems. I ended up trying the vitalizer and the original chi machine. I liked the original and got it. it's awesome at helping my liberness!! It WILL MAKE YOU SORE if you don't work into it slowly. I had 3 vertabrate fused 6 years ago. I have NEVER been able to bend over an touch the floor, EVER in my lifetime, much less after my surgery. I used the oringal chi machine and i can NOW do that! Don't ask me how but it does great for me loosing things up. Good luck.

There's no research that shows taping your back relieves pain, but it won't hurt to try it. I'd suggest strengthening your multifidus muscles that have been shown to be weak in people with low back pain - Jim Johnson's stenosis book has some ex's for this. Hope this helps!

I agree with previous comment - this is GREAT, but for the neck , not low back. I've also had lumbar back issues and use a back extension device called True Back Sport (got it years ago and not sure it's still available) - also for free so even better, I do McKenzie exercise for lumbar spine - which is lying on stomach on the floor, relaxing hips, pelvis and legs into floor then pushing upper body up with arms so back extends and holding for a while (I do a count of ten), then relax back down and repeat (5 to 10 times). This (plus some weight training, core body strengthening) has kept my lower back happy for years : ) I agree with previous comment - this is GREAT, but for the neck , not low back.

WhitneyRead more reviews about power mats. I cannot remember why but i did not end up buying one because of poor quality. Think about it. Does anyone you know own one? Be thorough Whitney :)

I can't really compare. I've always wanted to try the expensive anti-fatigue mats, but could not afford it. I'd say the imprint mat is good and certainly a good price. We'll see how it holds up. Good luck

Did it help your back? I am buying it for the same reason to cover my firm tempur mattress which gives me soooooo much back ache
