Review on 🌟 Ultimate Acupressure Mat and Pillow Set for Total Back and Neck Relief, Muscle Relaxation, and Pain Alleviation by Jess Gunderson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Now I believe in miracles.

I sustained a back injury 45 years ago and have been in pain every day ever since. I've had two lower back surgeries and one surgery for a back injury. I've had at least 500 massages, 500 chiropractic adjustments, 100 acupuncture procedures, multiple steroid injections including live scans. I have an inversion table, an ultrasound machine, massagers, light therapy machines, two TENS machines, back braces, neck braces, heating pads, cooling pads, etc. etc. Also, 15 years ago I injured my neck which has aggravated my chronic pain. took thousands of vicodin pills which help me with pain. I have been prescribed dozens of different pain relievers over the years and have tried over the counter pain pills, creams, ointments and CBD with little to no relief. Yoga, physical therapy, stretching, weight lifting, walking, light exercise did not relieve the pain. A few months ago, my back pain and especially my neck pain increased until I was unable to work. The acupuncture treatment was very effective, but the pain returned in a few days or less. I decided to try an epidural first and if that didn't work then surgery again. So I made an appointment with my surgeon. Then I saw this YOGU acupressure pillow/cushion and read many positive reviews. I giggled when one person complained that no tote bag was included. So I ordered one. My pillow arrived a week before my doctor visit. So I tried it, put a mat/pillow on the floor, turned on healing music, took off my t-shirt and lay on the mat. It was uncomfortable, itchy and annoying. But as I lay there, I felt the pain go away. I started using the pad 3 times a day for about 15 minutes for each application. When I went to the doctor I was practically PAIN FREE. My doctor was amazed. Since then NO PAIN PILLS, OINTMENTS OR DEVICES NEEDED. NOBODY! Only my YOGU. When using it, I often feel the vertebrate move or click in the upper back. When my lower back hits, my body freezes. I have never experienced such relief from any other treatment and so quickly. I usually feel several pops within the first minute or two. I set a timer as sometimes I fall asleep on this Miracle pillow. I bought more YOGU products including more cushions/pillows. I have a mat/pillow for emergencies in the car. My only negative comment is that it needs a carrying case because I won't go anywhere without one. The airline may lose my luggage, but I don't care as long as I have a YOGU pillow in my hand luggage. UPDATE DECEMBER 2019. I have two YOGU pillows with pillows that are still relieving pain. I recently bought and tried two other brands of pads with cushions. One has a slightly shorter pad and a lower, stiffer pad. The other is more like YOGU. I paid less than $20 for one and $28 for the other. Today at Revain, I was surprised to see that the price of the YOGU mat went from about $25 to $43 in less than a year. Stingy? I think probably most mats/pillows will give similar results and the type and number of dots, mat size, pillow height and firmness are all personal preferences.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
