What people are saying
Acupressure faqs
-
Acupressure is an ancient wellness practice that goes back thousands of years. Closely related to acupuncture, it works by applying targeted (acu) pressure to acupoints along your body’s meridian system.
Unlike acupuncture, acupressure spikes don't puncture your skin. Instead, they press up against it to release tension in the same way a deep tissue massage releases a knot.
The sensation of lying on spikes harnesses your body's natural response to discomfort to support healthy circulation and ultimately rebalance the energy that flows within you.
Acupressure stems from the Indian bed of nails, and in Ayurvedic tradition it was developed alongside yoga and meditation.
Millions embrace the ouch daily – using acupressure as their ancient answer to modern stress/unexpected antidote to everyday stress. -
In 20 minutes or less you can turn tired, sore and stressed into relaxed, restored and reset.
No appointments. No subscriptions.
And with so many different tools, you don't need to be at home, either.

Lying down is the easiest way to start: either in bed or on the floor. Skin-to-spike contact for 20 minutes is best, but you can use a light T-shirt while you get used to the sensation.

In short: yes. Acupressure assists your body’s ability to boost circulation, release stubborn tension, and provide temporary pain relief. That makes it a great relaxation aid and tool for the occasional sore back. Perfect if stress has built up from sedentary work, exercise, or physical labour.
