History of the Acupressure Mat

Both Indian and Chinese cultures have been using acupressure in some form for over 5,000 years.  It is still widely practiced in China today.  In India, yogis used (and still use) a bed of nails to help them improve meditation and promote healing.  In Western civilizations these practices are quickly gaining recognition as a form of alternative health care for multiple ailments.

In the 1970`s a man named Ivan Kusnetsov developed the first modern acupressure mat in the former USSR, and called it the Ipplicator (or Applicator).  The mat went on to sell over 70 million units in Russia alone.  In 2008 the acupressure mat was introduced in Sweden and over one million were sold in the first year and a half alone.  Now acupressure mats are available in North America, and are expected to become a “must have” item for people looking to enhance their health and well-being.
