Usage
Aim to use your Acupressure Pillow with bare skin, but you can always start out with thin clothing between your skin and the mat while your body adjusts.
When you're starting out on a new area you can adjust the intensity by limiting or adding body weight onto the pillow.
The first time on a new area will often feel sensitive, but over time your body will adjust to the sensation.
