Be aware that most plastic or neoprene dumbbells are too thick to fit into the Kettle Gryp — you need ones with metal handles.”

The ProsourceFit Acupressure Mat and Pillow set, made of thick cotton, plant-based eco foam and hundreds of pressure points, promises to relieve pain from even the most stubborn spots. Continued use helps release endorphins that minimize aches while relaxing the muscles in your back, neck and feet.

Said one of nearly 26,000+ five-star reviewers: “I’m a 25 year old with horrible posture. I’m currently on week two of physical therapy and have been trying to find ways to alleviate my back pain. This mat is amazing. I’ve never tried acupressure before and bought this because of the reasonable price. It was uncomfortable at first. You definitely have to resist the urge to get up. But within 3 to 5 minutes, something just happens. You melt into the mat and it feels amazing. The bolster pillow has been fantastic at helping relieve those base-of-the-skull headaches. I want everyone to have one of these.”
