Acupressure FAQs
-
Acupressure mats are the modern interpretation of the Indian bed of nails. They're made up of thousands of sharp spikes that press against your skin to release inner tension and activate your body's healing systems.
The initial discomfort helps shift your focus inward and trigger your natural pain–relief response, helping you relax more quickly.
-
Acupressure spikes stimulate the skin without piercing it, while acupuncture uses needles that penetrate the skin. Acupuncture requires a trained professional, but acupressure can be practiced by anyone at home.
-
The Shakti Acupressure Mat is one of the most versatile tools available. You can stand on it for a reflexology-like effect or lie on it for direct back pressure. The spikes stimulate tension points, making it ideal for both back and foot relief.
-
Acupressure experiences vary from person to person. Choosing the right mat and pillow depends on how much initial intensity you're comfortable with. Different intensities offer different pressure levels to match your needs.
Pillows mainly differ in shape and end use. Classic pillows are firmer and ideal for neck tension, while premium pillows offer more versatility with moldable fill and double the surface area.
-
Deep touch pressure (DTP) stimulates serotonin and other calming chemicals in the body. With spikes, the initial “ouch” sensation prompts a wave of relaxation as your brain responds to the perceived intensity.

Acupressure mats can help relieve tension, improve circulation, enhance relaxation, and speed up recovery. With consistent use, they can support stress relief and overall well-being in just minutes a day.
