The Dr Kez Chirolab® Acupressure Mat and Pillow Set features thousands of small lotus-shaped pressure points designed to gently stimulate the surface of the body when you lie on it.
You can enjoy using an acupressure mat as part of your daily relaxation or wind-down routine, whether it’s after a long day, before bed, or simply as a quiet moment of self-care. You know you deserve it!
All you need to do is have a lovely little lay down and relax.
What Does an Acupressure Mat Feel Like?
Not going to lie...the first few minutes may feel intense! This is due to the small pressure points that make contact with the skin. As your body settles, many people describe the sensation as warming, relaxing, or pleasantly stimulating.
When using the mat for the first time, you may wish to place a thin layer of clothing or a light cloth between your skin and the spikes until you become accustomed to the sensation.
Inspired by Traditional Acupressure
Acupressure is based on traditional Eastern wellness practices that involve applying pressure to specific points on the body.
The design of an acupressure mat allows many of these pressure points to be stimulated simultaneously while you rest comfortably at home.
Many people enjoy incorporating acupressure mats into their sleep, relaxation, mindfulness, or recovery routines.
Ways You Can Enjoy Using An Acupressure Mat
The mat and pillow can be used in many different ways, including:
- Lying on your back
- Resting your neck on the pillow
- Placing the mat under your legs
- Using it while sitting or stretching
- Placing it under the feet…yes…we mean standing on it! You may want to start with socks on first
Everyone develops their own favourite way to use it, and so will you!
The History of Acupressure
Acupressure is a traditional wellness practice that has roots in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which dates back thousands of years.
In traditional Eastern practices, it is believed that the body contains pathways known as meridians, through which vital energy (often referred to as Qi, pronounced “chee”) flows. These pathways connect different areas of the body and are associated with overall balance and wellbeing.
For centuries, practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine have used manual pressure techniques to stimulate specific points along these meridian pathways. This practice, known as acupressure, shares the same foundational principles as acupuncture but uses pressure instead of needles.
From Traditional Practice to Modern Wellness
Modern acupressure mats were inspired by these traditional practices and designed as a way for people to experience acupressure-style stimulation at home.
Instead of targeting individual points one at a time, acupressure mats feature hundreds or even thousands of small pressure points that come into contact with the body simultaneously when you lie down.
Many people enjoy using acupressure mats as part of their daily relaxation or mindfulness routines, taking a few minutes to unwind while the pressure points stimulate the surface of the body.
Inspired by Ancient Practices
While modern acupressure mats are a contemporary wellness product, the concept behind them is inspired by techniques that have been practiced in Eastern cultures for generations.
Today, these mats have become popular around the world as a simple way to incorporate elements of traditional acupressure into everyday self-care routines.

How to Use Your Acupressure Mat
How to Use Your Acupressure Mat
If you are new to using an acupressure mat, the sensation may feel unusual at first. The thousands of small pressure points may create a light prickling feeling on the skin during the first few minutes.
Most people find that this sensation gradually settles into a warm, relaxing feeling as the body becomes accustomed to the pressure points.
If the sensation feels too intense when starting out, try wearing a light t-shirt or placing a thin towel or sheet between your skin and the mat. As you become more familiar with the mat, many people prefer using it directly on the skin.
Getting Comfortable on the Mat
Place the mat on a flat surface such as the floor, couch, or bed.
For extra comfort, you can place a yoga mat, rug or blanket underneath for additional cushioning. Lie down slowly with your back on the mat and the pillow supporting your neck.
You may choose to:
- Bend your knees with your feet flat on the floor
- Stretch your legs out straight
- Place pillows under your legs or head for support
- Everyone will find a position that feels comfortable for them.
How Long Should You Use It?
If you are new to acupressure mats, start with around 10 minutes and gradually increase your time as you become more comfortable.
Many people enjoy using the mat for 10–30 minutes as part of a relaxation routine. Some enjoy a shorter session during the day, while others prefer using it before bed as part of their wind-down ritual. Some people even fall asleep on it! If you happen to fall asleep while using the mat, simply remove it when you wake up.
What Happens After Use?
After using the mat, you may notice small impressions on the skin from the pressure points. This is completely normal and typically fades within an hour or so. Your skin may also appear slightly pink or warm after use due to the pressure from the spikes. This usually settles quickly.
Using the Acupressure Pillow
The pillow can be used on its own or together with the mat.
Simply place the pillow beneath the area you wish to rest on and allow the pressure points to contact the skin.
Many people enjoy resting on the pillow for 10 minutes or longer as part of their relaxation routine.
Ways You Can Use the D-Shaped Pillow
The pillow can be used in a variety of positions, including:
Under the neck while lying down
Behind the lower back while sitting
Under the feet while seated or standing
Along (down) the spine while stretching arms out wide, on the floor
Under the legs or arms during relaxation
You can also experiment with different positions to find what feels most comfortable for you.
Standing on the Pillow
Some people enjoy placing the pillow on the floor and standing on it.
You may prefer to:
- Wear socks for a softer sensation
- Use bare feet for a more intense experience
- If standing, try gently shifting your weight from heel to toe or from side to side.
Always step on and off slowly.
So simple!
For many people, using the mat becomes a favourite daily wind-down ritual, whether you’re reading, listening to music, meditating, or simply taking a quiet moment to relax. A great option for the family.
