How To Start
When undertaking acupressure yoga using the Acupressure Pillow, it is important to feel comfortable. A soft pillow may be used to support your head and placing a towel over the top of the Acupressure Pillow may help to dull the impact of the cube. This is recommended for first time use.
Getting Things Underway
To get started, sit on the floor and recline gently on to the Acupressure Pillow. Ideally, the floor should be carpeted for maximum comfort. Do not flop back on to the device as it is important that your movements are slow and controlled. Align the ‘cube’ on the Acupressure Pillow with tender points adjacent to the spine. This may take a little time to identify the exact points along the spine which are tight, locked or painful.
Move Around On The Acupressure Pillow
Once you have found the painful or inflamed area navigating your back around on the Acupressure Pillow çube, try and add greater weight to the area. This may seem painful at first, however the more you can relax onto it, the faster the release may come. The cube replicates the powerful fingers of a therapist working painful or inflamed areas of your body.
Stay Calm and Check Your Breathing
It is important to ensure you are also aware of your breathing. Ensure you breathe slowly and deeply into your diaphragm while using your Acupressure Pillow. Be patient with yourself and the process. Within a short period of time using the pillow you will experience a shift. The pain and discomfort will either disperse and become more ‘dull’ or it may intensify; this depends on how chronic your condition is. If you don't feel a shift or release, this means the pillow is still working however you require more time using it. Some issues may resolve quickly where as others may take more time.
Hip, Leg and Foot Areas
When working to release hip, leg or foot pain use 2-3 cubes. You will need to work the original source of sensations e.g. hip, leg or foot as well as the sciatic nerve that travels behind your upper outer gluteus maximus as seen in the example image. For maximum effect place yourself over or beside the device and line up the cube with the sciatic nerve, place knee bent upwards towards chest. With your knee bent up make an outwards motion to the side while supporting yourself with your other leg. Make sure you move and hold that position. You will achieve the most effective results by referring to the guide and doing this exercise consecutively over three weeks.
Mid and Upper Back
When working the upper back only use 1-2 cubes. Gently and slowly move one arm at a time. Roll your head around to activate the inflamed area while applying weight through the cube onto ‘the sore spot’. Try to stretch out your legs and move your arms in different directions. This will assist your body to move across the cube so you are able to locate and work the required area.
Neck
When working the neck only use 1-3 cubes. Gently and slowly move your head around in a 360 degrees motion. Try different facial features like smiling, chewing also stretch legs and feet out.
