A how-to guide on effectively using the LyfeFocus acupressure mat

The Acupressure Mat allows you to reduce pain, stress and tension in the comfort of your own home. Very effective when used at the beginning or end of the day as part of a daily relaxation routine.

It is also ideal for relieving aches and pains that perhaps affect your work, freeing you to enjoy home life and leisure in a relaxed frame of mind.

It could not be easier to use. Simply unroll and lie back on the area of the body causing discomfort or in need of soothing.

We would suggest using for 15-30 minutes in the morning and then again in the evening or after work to reduce stress and tension. Everyone has different schedules, so plan around your day.

In the first days of using the mat and pillow we suggest wearing a thin t-shirt. After that many find the Acupressure Mat and pillow to be most effective when in direct contact with skin. Maximum of 15-30 minutes at one time.

• Fully laid out on the floor (can be combined with mindfulness/meditation if you wish)
• Use on work breaks as a way to return to a calm state.
• On the sofa (perhaps while reading or watching television).
• In bed or after gym/yoga classes.
