I've had lower back pain off and on for years. I also get tension headaches. The first time I laid on the Lotus mat I loved it! I laid on it for about fifteen minutes and my headache was gone. It says to start off laying on something soft. But I dived right in and laid on the floor with it. It wasn't painful or uncomfortable at all. The spikes have the perfect shape I think...

This Matt is incredible! I was skeptical about these but after doing research I decided to give it a try! I was having some unexplainable neck and shoulder pain for months and nothing worked. After only laying on this mat twice for about 20 mins I already felt a huge difference and could turn my head again without pain! I lay on it almost every night before bed and standing on it feels amazing also! A friend of mine used it and fell asleep on it! WARNING!! As other reviews have stated it is quite painful at first! You really have to just be able to get through the pain of the spikes and within a few minutes it will start to feel warm and you will feel less tension. It’s hard to explain the feeling but it’s amazing!

Was a little skeptical about these things, but after many reviews I chose the Optimalax Lotus mat. So happy that I did, the second I opened it up and touched the spikes, my body kind of knew this is what it needed. I have only had it for about an hour now, and I am obsessed with putting my palms on it. I got it mostly for my back, but I’ve had wrist pain in my right wrist for almost 5 years now, and I’m not sure if it’s mental, but I swear pressing my palm on this has taken away the pain, not completely, but I definitely feel like I can bend it further before experiencing pain.

If I just had to review the product, I'd say it gets five stars. The pillow especially is incredibly helpful for treating the neck pain I seem to have developed over the last few months. The mat is great, too. I don't find it to be as sharp as other reviewers (maybe my pain threshold is higher?), but it does relieve tension in the shoulders, especially if used directly on the skin. The bag is lovely. It's just an all-around nice package.

I love this product but what users need to know is that we are all made up differently. Some of us are short lean muscle fiber, other long lean white muscle fibers and mixed. It will feel differently in many areas and tread lightly with going in the buff using it for the firs time. In general, once you have moved into a comfortable position lying on it or wrapping it around an appendage, the relief will come instantly for most people.

I looove this acupressure mat & pillow! I used it for the first time tonight for about 15min!
I wore cotton lounge pants & cotton short sleeve top. I recommend wearing light thin clothing to get use to the acupressure points. I have to say i am really relaxed after laying on it! And will def be making this a part of my evening wind down routine. Im also a fitness coach and am very active with my work. I work myself out pretty hard so this is a must have for anyone in the fitness industry or anyone who is on their feet all day.

The set is really beautiful and just as described.
Very thoughtfully designed for therapy, comfort, sustainability and eco conscious, and this was the reason I chose this one over others. The color is very soothing too!

The mat and pillow are so softer and it makes staying over the acupressure when more pleasant. Color is just so gorgeous! Love how the pressure points look like delicate roses!

Wow! So this mat went above all my expectations. I have seen similar mats online and really wanted to try acupressure out. I’m so happy with the quality of this brand! I get extremely tight shoulder muscles and wanted to see if this could help me loosen those. It’s for sure something you have to adjust to but I am blown away by how relaxing this is. The first time I used it I almost fell asleep on it. The sensation is pretty intense at first but I dove right in and laid on it without my shirt.

I have 2 mats and pillow sets from them. I use one at home and one for clients. I have been so happy with the style, design, eco friendliness, quality of this company. I have used other companies, they can seem cheep even when they are more expensive. Go for this company. be even more conscious of your purchase with Optimalax

As marketed, this was a very relaxing first experience. Granted, I had like...two and a half glasses of wine, but I also had Chipotle, so I figure that's net neutral. Regardless, I chilled on this for 20 min. and felt like a new woman. Do it.

I received my acupressure set today and used it right away. I want every one who reads this to know I am a very skeptical person......and I have to say this seems to be working. I was in quite a bit a pain this morning and now I am feeling much better. I have severe sciatic pain (from bowling) and lower back pain from a previous injury. I am all for using this everyday to see if it will ease the pain progressively. Right now I love it!!!!!
Kylie
Amazing! Feels so good and I have to stop myself from sleeping on it. My kids love it too. Highly recommended
Jolene
Love it! I’ve always had tension on my lower back since having kids, and this helped relief the tension.
Kai
great piece of kit. Hurts like hell on the feet but if you can tolerate it its worth it. The next day my back (if I lay on my back) feels a lot better
Nikki
I've only used it a couple of times but I am already in love! The first time I used it for 30 mins before bed and I had such a good sleep! I suffer from chronic lower back pain and I wasn't as stiff or painful when I woke up in the morning! Highly recommended! I've just bought one for my mum
Marta
Fantastic product. High quality and very elegant and effective. A pleasure to use!

I started my acupressure therapy and I have to say that this mat and cushion are great. The product is very well made.
