An estimated 80% of us will experience neck or back pain at some point. Many of us will live with chronic back pain for many years. Unlike a toothache or appendicitis, the cause of back pain is often not easily found. The structures are complex and dense and they interact in complex ways and operative interventions are usually expensive and can be risky. For most of us, the only help available from the medical profession is a brief course of physiotherapy if we’re lucky – and pain killing drugs. The emotional effects of chronic back pain can seriously damage quality of life, whilst the immobility which back pain causes can have other negative health consequences. It’s a difficult situation.
But there is a natural, safe, drug-free way forward for neck and back pain sufferers.
The Pranamat ECO, from Advaita offers a simple way forward for the home treatment of chronic neck and back pain. The idea behind the Pranamat is very simple. When you lie on it, small plastic points on the upper surface press into your back applying pressure. This raises awareness of your posture as you receive therapeutic acupressure treatment. This natural drug-free technique improves circulation, increases energy and reduces stress, whilst being non-invasive and totally safe. A variety of treatment positions and options allow you to maximise the mat’s effectiveness for your particular back or neck pain.
“Prana” is the Sanskrit word for “life force” so you can see where the “life force mat” gets its name. The “ECO” part reflects the fact that the Pranamat ECO is made with the safety of the planet in mind. Coconut fibres form the core; un-bleached cotton contains it, and then pure linen covers both. The plastic flowers on top of the mat are made from medical grade, low-impact plastic, coloured with non-allergic techniques. Pranamat will look after your back pain and the planet.
Just relaxing on the mat will benefit your back pain, safely and easily, and you’ll see increased energy and reduced stress too. If you add in even a very short yoga or meditation regime, you can increase these benefits.
The Pranamat Eco can help with a wide range of medical conditions. Because it’s a mat, it has a natural affinity with back pain and neck pain, but it can also be of benefit in the treatment of migraine and stress-related illness. The powerful mind-body connection cannot be denied nor over-emphasised. When you remove stress, you lift a huge burden from your physical systems. You’ll be happier and healthier all-round.
There are some great videos providing instruction in the safe use of the Pranamat at the manufacturer’s (Advaita) website – pranamat.com.
So, Pranamat ECO is good for your back pain, good for your energy levels, your stress levels, and good for the planet. Find it easily at online outlets including Amazon, or direct from pranamat.com.
