Acupressure is based on the theory that every part of the body is connected to the feet. Although a non-invasive method of massage; a relaxing one it’s not. Matter of fact, it’s one of the most stimulating and ultimately rewarding forms of manual manipulation and touch.

Standing, at first, feels like walking barefoot on a rocky beach. It takes time to get used to it. We suggest that beginners place a thin blanket on the mat or wear thick socks before attempting to stand on the mat. Some prefer to sit on a chair and slowly apply more pressure, gradually building up to standing on the mat.
