great weird pokey mat
I was amazed at how remarkably it worked and works whenever I have a flare up of chronic back problems. It solved my 4-week issue with my shoulder and low back severe pain that was helped by chiropractic but not resolved. I just bought it sort of out of desperation and due to finding one that was as cheap as this was. I saw it online somewhere else and thought how funny, but maybe. It does not hurt much for me, but it feels awful just to touch with my hand. I actually like the sensation once I have relaxed. Then it is not painful, but causes a relaxed calming effect instead. I had worn reflexology sandals years ago to good effect so I knew my thresh hold for this sort of discomfort was probably right. None of the others online appear much different, but the prices vary greatly so if you want to try it, this would be the one. I've been telling people about my crazy mat that works. I use it mostly with a thin garment between myself and it and often just on the couch so the pressure is less. Nothing more is needed for me.
