Gaiam - This Acupressure Neck & Back Pillow will help you access the restorative benefits of acupressure in the comfort of your home. Hundreds of pressure point nodes increase circulation and blood flow, helping to improve relaxation, ease stress and reduce tension in the neck and back. By applying pressure on the pillow the small points work to simulate acupressure style therapy. When pressure points in the body are stimulated, blood flows to that area to promote pain relief, healing and relaxation. Start by applying light pressure on the pillow against a chair or couch for 10-15 minutes. Intermediate and advanced users should apply direct pressure by laying on the pillow for 15-20 minutes a day.
