Needle Massage Pillow

The  Needle Massage Pillow measuring 385x165 mm, features a needle spacing of 5.8 mm and contains 1856 needles made from various metals (iron, copper, zinc, nickel, silver).

This device uniquely combines a needle surface with a universal needle spacing of 5.8 mm and an air chamber. This design allows it to perfectly conform to the body's physiological curves and enables the user to adjust the pressure of the needles on the skin.

The Needle Massage Pillow is most convenient for use on the neck, shoulder girdle, lower back, and other body areas.

The massage pillow can be used independently or in combination with the Needle Massage Mat, as well as any other flat UAL (Universal Applicator Lyapko).

The key to proper placement is ensuring an even distribution of body weight across the entire applicator surface, which the Needle Massage Pillow effectively provides.

With this applicator, you no longer need to ponder how to properly set up a spot for the application procedure. Simply inflate it with air, and you're ready for the procedure. The degree of inflation depends on your individual sensations when in contact with the applicator. If you prefer a pronounced effect, inflate it more; for gentler sensations, inflate it less intensively. Rubber plugs help adjust the needle pressure even during the procedure. A sign of correct use is a feeling of comfort during the procedure.

Thanks to its design, the applicator can be conveniently used while lying down, sitting, or standing, adapting its shape to individual physiological features. Rubber protrusions on the back of the Needle Massage Pillow can be used for superficial skin effects as an independent acupressure device with a gentle massage action. They also prevent the applicator from slipping during the procedure.

By releasing the air from the chamber, the applicator can be compactly rolled up and taken on trips.

Thus, the Needle Massage Pillow:

• Can be placed on an absolutely flat surface.
• Eliminates the need for rollers and pillows to adjust body curves.
• Provides a closer fit to the skin during the procedure.
• The needle-free surface is used for acupressure massage.

High therapeutic effectiveness is achieved not only due to reflex-mechanical effects but also due to galvanic currents and selective micro-electrophoresis of metals or their oxides in the body's internal environments.

The Needle Massage Pillow is intended for static effects on any body parts: back, abdomen, chest area, lumbar-sacral region, limbs, palms, and feet. It's convenient for the abdominal area with intestinal peristalsis disorders. For this, the applicator should be inflated more densely and lie on it with the stomach.

The Needle Massage Pillow can be laid on the back or placed on problematic body areas, evenly pressed from above with a sandbag or fixed with an elastic bandage. The duration of the applicator's effect depends on the symptoms present and the specific goal you set.

For chronic pathology, increased blood pressure, irritability, excitement, insomnia, it's recommended to use the applicator in the afternoon (preferably before bedtime). Duration of exposure is 20-30 minutes. In some cases, a pronounced positive effect is achieved with prolonged exposure from 30 minutes to 1-2 hours.

For acute pain, hypotension, drowsiness, weakness, as well as for weakened patients and the elderly, the effect is effective in the morning and the first half of the day. Session duration is 7-10 minutes. The course is 1-2 weeks. Procedures are recommended to be repeated after 2-4 weeks.

There is positive practical experience of prolonged, several months of daily use of applicators. This results in a persistent improvement in well-being, relief of chronic pain, increased vitality, and performance.

DISINFECTION! The applicators come into contact with the skin without damaging it and do not have contact with blood. In medical institutions, after an application session, they must be disinfected according to the Standards for disinfection of medical devices, by immersing them completely in a disinfectant solution, followed by rinsing under running water and drying with a stream of hot air (using a hairdryer).

For individual use, hygienic care is sufficient, which involves processing before the first use, as well as further periodic care for the applicators using a brush and washing solutions (shampoo, liquid soap), rinsing with running water, and drying with a stream of hot air (using a hairdryer).

CONTRAINDICATIONS:

• Acute infectious diseases;
• Exacerbation of chronic diseases with an increase in body temperature;
• Decompensation state in diseases of the cardiovascular system, lungs, liver, kidneys;
• Acute thrombophlebitis;
• Blood diseases and hematopoietic organs in the stage of decompensation;
• Acute surgical conditions;
• Severe exhaustion;
• Allergy to any metal;
• Violations of the integrity of the skin: wounds, burns, frostbite. In the presence of benign and malignant diseases, needle therapy with Lyapko applicators is used only to treat individual symptoms (analgesic effect method, relief of psycho-emotional tension, improved sleep, etc.) and necessarily after consulting an oncologist.

ATTENTION! During the use of the applicators, avoid sudden movements. Needles should be perpendicular to the body surface. If there are large moles, local inflammatory elements, or injuries on the skin, they should be protected from contact with needles (for example, covered with part of a paper napkin or a cotton pad).
