The Tiger Tail Acupressure Mat is a sensory stimulation tool to help with relaxation, meditation, and myofascial release techniques that help the body release stress, tension, and natural endorphins. Acupressure is an age-old practice of actively stimulating pressure points along the meridians of the body for natural healing while Endorphins are a naturally occurring neuropeptide that helps the body manage pain and are considered a natural analgesic for pain relief. The Tiger Tail Acupressure Mat is great for the feet, back, neck, and shoulders, and makes at-home acupressure easy! Try standing, stepping in place, or laying on the mat for 2-3 minutes (or longer) and feel the difference. Work your way up to 15-20 minutes.
