A 5 piece massage system that is better suited for home use than an expensive table because it allows for face-down positioning without twisting your neck. The M.A.T. also has a pelvic tilt feature that reduces stress in the lower back just by laying on it - a feature not found in expensive tables. A cotton face cover is provided for use over the headpiece as well.
The ideal times to use this inflatable mat are:
- After a Sporting Event - Excellent for use in massaging away aches and pains associated with soreness and stiffness from sports activities such as golf, tennis, biking, hiking, running, and working out. Give your child or athlete in the family an advantage over the competition by massaging the lactic acid out of their muscles after intense practice sessions, allowing them to recover from their aches and pains more quickly than their competition. There is a reason why all major sports franchises employ massage therapists to work on their professional athletes. Now you can do the same.
- After Household Chores - Similar to the sporting activities listed above, aches and pains can be the direct result of doing such household chores as the laundry, vacuuming, carrying groceries, gardening, mowing the lawn, snow shoveling, and many others. Learn to massage these aches and pains away.
- During Romantic Evenings - Massage, also known as touch therapy, is an effective means of helping to put some romance back into your life. "You rub my back, I'll rub yours" takes on a whole new meaning when the setting is a Friday evening by candlelight. The art of touch conveys "love, caring, openness, and tenderness." When people give touch therapy to each other, strained relationships can begin to mend and great relationships can become even better!
- During Aromatherapy - To use with aromatherapy oils, place a drop of essential oils on a cloth and place it under the headpiece opening of The Inflatable M.A.T. Lay face-down and enjoy the soothing properties of the essential oils while resting on the Inflatable M.A.T. This is a very cost-effective way of enjoying aromatherapy.
- When Alone: If alone, lay face-down on the unit and relax. The pelvic tilt feature works to rotate your hips toward the floor and releases built up tension and stress just by laying on the M.A.T. This is accomplished by using gravity to stretch the vertebra of the lower back. Take a 15 to 20 minute "M.A.T. nap" and wake up relaxed and refreshed.
- When With Others: Massage has been around for thousands of years. The benefits of correct human touch, as taught by the International Massage Association in the included instruction video, addressed to specific areas that are stressed, stiff, or downright uncomfortable will ad a whole new dimension on how you view the word "comfort". This unit is also excellent for use with electrical hand held massage devices - one person relaxes on the unit while the other applies the massage device to the painful areas.
