How does it work

ACUPRESSURE MASSAGE MAT – mechanisms of action

The Lyapko ACUPRESSURE MASSAGE MAT is an original and effective tool with many health and wellness-promoting properties. Its action is based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine – superficial multi-needle acupuncture – combined with the body's natural physiological mechanisms.

The strong effect of the ACUPRESSURE MASSAGE MAT is due to the combination of several reactions:

  • reflex-mechanical effect
  • galvanic-electrical effect
  • immunological stimulation

Reflex-mechanical effect

The reflex-mechanical effect consists of superficial stimulation of biologically active points and micromassage of the skin and underlying tissues.

The body's response to this stimulation is manifested through:

Local reaction

The local reaction can result in:

  • increased blood circulation
  • temperature changes in the skin
  • increased sensitivity
  • improved microcirculation

After treatment, the skin may become red and warm, which is a natural reaction.

Segmental reaction

The skin is connected to internal organs through the nervous system. By stimulating specific skin areas, the body can activate reflex connections to associated organs and systems.

General reaction

When the skin is stimulated with multi-needle therapy, signals are sent through the nervous system to the brain. This can contribute to:

  • increased production of biologically active substances
  • stimulation of blood circulation
  • improved oxygen supply
  • activation of the body's natural defense mechanisms

Galvanic-electrical effect

The galvanic-electrical effect occurs between needles made of different metals. This can help to:

  • improve metabolism
  • stimulate recovery processes
  • reduce pain sensitivity
  • support nerve impulse conduction
  • promote the production of biologically active substances

Simultaneously, a natural micro-ionization of metals occurs in the body's fluid environment, which can support normal function in organs and body systems at the cellular level.

Immunological reactions

The ACUPRESSURE MASSAGE MAT can help stimulate the body's natural immune response. During use, both fluid and tissue-related immune mechanisms are activated.

This can contribute to:

  • strengthened immune system
  • better adaptation to stress and strain
  • increased general resilience

Positive effects of application therapy

ACUPRESSURE MASSAGE MAT therapy can help to:

  • reduce pain and muscle tension
  • improve blood circulation and lymph flow
  • reduce swelling
  • stimulate the body's natural recovery processes
  • support relaxation and emotional balance
  • activate the production of the body's own well-being hormones

When the ACUPRESSURE MASSAGE MAT touches the skin, it stimulates the release of the body's own natural signaling substances and mechanisms for well-being and recovery.

Important advantage

Local improvement of blood circulation occurs without extra strain on the heart, as peripheral circulation is activated while the heart is relieved. This makes the treatment gentle and comfortable for many users.

Easy home use

The ACUPRESSURE MASSAGE MAT can be combined with other forms of treatment and is designed for safe and easy use at home.

After use, the skin is more receptive for up to 10 minutes. This can be a good time to apply creams or ointments with a soothing or nourishing effect.

Treatment areas for

ACUPRESSURE MASSAGE MAT

Flat static ACUPRESSURE MASSAGE MATS and needle rollers are used on main areas, additional areas, and support areas. The rollers can also be used along the spine for reflex diagnostics.

By using both the ACUPRESSURE MASSAGE MAT and the roller, you can help reduce discomfort, promote relaxation, support the body's natural recovery processes, and achieve a general sense of well-being.

In most cases, it is recommended to treat the area where symptoms or tensions are experienced. To achieve the best possible effect, additional and support areas can also be included. The spine is often considered a central treatment area. If for various reasons it is not possible to treat the main area directly, additional and support areas can be used. To enhance the effect, corresponding areas on the opposite side of the body can also be treated.

Correct placement on the ACUPRESSURE MASSAGE MAT

For best comfort and effect, body weight should be evenly distributed over the entire surface of the ACUPRESSURE MASSAGE MAT.

The ACUPRESSURE MASSAGE MAT should not be placed on a completely hard and flat surface. To achieve optimal adaptation, it is recommended to use pillows or rolled-up towels under the neck and lower back to support the body's natural curves.

Intensity can be easily adjusted:

  • If stronger pressure is desired, body support can be increased.
  • For increased sensitivity, a thin cloth can be placed between the skin and the ACUPRESSURE MASSAGE MAT.

Experience during use

During the first few minutes, one may experience a tingling or stinging sensation. This is usually followed by a pleasant feeling of warmth, slight vibration, and a sense of relaxation.

Eventually, many may experience deep relaxation, increased well-being, and in some cases, drowsiness.

If you experience discomfort

Strong or persistent discomfort may be due to improper placement of the applicator.

Common causes may be:

  • Uneven distribution of body weight
  • Excessive pressure on certain areas
  • Movement or slipping on the ACUPRESSURE MASSAGE MAT

To correct this, it is recommended to stand up, adjust the placement of the ACUPRESSURE MASSAGE MAT, and add extra support under areas such as the knees, neck, or lower back if needed.
