General Questions
What exactly is an acupressure board and how does it work?
An acupressure board is a wooden board, based on a traditional design from East Asia. It has about 350 pointy “pyramids” carved out in wood, using a 3D cutting machine. An acupressure board works by spreading your weight across hundreds of closely spaced wooden nails, but none of them penetrate the skin - the practice is completely safe. The pyramids press into the soles of your feet and palms of your hands, stimulating reflex points and improving circulation. While putting pressure on the feet or hands, you are encouraged to stay calm and balanced. Combined with a guided sequence provided by Soma Wave, it allows you to achieve a specific, desired result - for example, emotional release and muscular relaxation.
