How to Use Acupressure Prickly Pads
Prickly Mitt
The Prickly Mitt is a 5.5 x 7 inch small applicator with pressure tips applied to cushioned (soft) cotton based mitt. The Prickly Pad Mitt can be used to alleviate muscle and joint pain, shoulder tension, headache, etc. Place the mitt on your hand and apply it to the treatment area, holding it in place for 40 to 60 seconds, alternately pressing and releasing every ten seconds. To increase treatment effect, actively manipulate the muscles in the application area by flexing and releasing. Treat area for five to fifteen minutes.
Inflatable Prickly Pillow
The Prickly Pillow is an 8 x 14 inch applicator with pressure tips applied to inflatable cotton based pad. It can be used to alleviate pain in the cervical spine, the neck area and to alleviate or mitigate headache pain. Place the pillow from the lower to the upper neck area including the upper shoulder and lean on the pad (e.g., place the pillow on a couch or armchair back and lean on it) or lie down on the pad (e.g. place the pillow on a bed or exercise mat and lie down on it as shown in the picture below-left). You can also hold the Prickly Pillow against your neck, as shown in the picture below-right. Maintain the position for ten to twenty-five minute. If you treat a spot continuously for ten to fourteen days, it is recommended that you stop using the Prickly Pad for an equivalent amount of time to give your body a rest.
Prickly Pad
The Prickly Pad is 8" x 14" and is used to alleviate muscle pain, muscle spasm, muscle hardening, joint pain and joint stiffness. For muscle pain apply the small applicator directly on the sore area (naked skin) and press strongly with your hands for 40 to 60 seconds, increasing the pressure on the mat every ten seconds. Flexing and releasing the muscles within the application area increases the effectiveness of the applicator. Apply the Prickly Pad to the soles of your feet to eliminate cramps and to relax the feet. It will also increase blood circulation.
Prickly Mat
The Prickly Mat is used to alleviate a variety of back pain including lumbago. You should lie down on the mat, which should be on a soft base (like a bed or sofa), for 15 to 60 minutes depending on your physical condition. Initially, to grow accustomed to the treatment, the mat can also be placed on a chair and leaned upon. It is recommended that the treatment lying on your back be done regularly for 10 to 15 days prior to bedtime. While lying on the applicator the discomfort of the pressure points should diminished after the first 1-2 minutes. This will change to a warm, relaxing feeling which is sustained throughout the period of the treatment. The skin reddens from treatment with the applicator, which is quite normal. !
