What is an Acupressure Mat? 

An acupressure mat is a cotton mat with plastic points meant to stimulate the skin to aid in pain relief and circulation. The mat does not actually puncture the skin, but as the name straightforwardly states, it puts pressure on the body. The mat could be used on any part of the body including the back, legs, feet, head, and so on, though it's most traditionally used on the back.
