FLUSH TENSION FROM TENDER LEGS
What you need to know
-
• Boost circulation
• Recover faster
• Carry less tension -
There are two ways to use the Acupress Leg Wraps: flushing tension fast, and releasing it with less pressure. The difference is step three.
1. Lay the Wrap out on your bed or sofa before sitting down to create even coverage across the back of your calf or thigh. The compression strap should be on the right-hand side.
2. Sit down on it with your leg in front of you and connect each self-fastening closure following the numbers from 1 to 3. The fit should be snug with each spike making contact, but you shouldn’t feel much pressure at this point.
3. Once you’re comfortable, wrap the compression strap up, over, and around your thigh to adjust the pressure.
Sit with the sensation for 20–40 minutes. Slow breaths will help your body relax. -
• Find a comfortable spot to sit before getting started
• Don’t try to walk around once they’re on
• Wiggling your foot will adjust the pressure in your calf. -
Even if you’re familiar with lying on a Shakti Mat, adding compression to acupressure ups the intensity of each spike exponentially. It’s not a warning, but an invitation to relax when you want, and flush tension when you need to.
More pressure is more intense. Less is more relaxing. Whether you want to dial up the pressure or take it easy, sitting with the sensation for 20–40 minutes is ideal.
You’ll notice the discomfort can remain longer than if you were to lie on a Shakti Mat. This is normal—especially with more compression. If the sensation becomes too difficult, loosen the compression strap. -
Acupress Leg Wraps have Level 1 spikes. Why? Because wrapping spikes is different to lying on them. You can adjust the intensity with compression as opposed to relying on gravity alone. Perfect whether you want to increase the intensity of each spike—or ease off for a therapeutic touch.
-
Where acupuncture uses needles to pierce the skin, acupressure uses spikes to press against it. The key difference with Acupress Leg Wraps is that you can activate multiple acupoints in as many seconds as it takes to wrap them, and you can adjust the tightness to your level of pressure.
