Acupressure helps reduce or eliminate discomfort by concentrating pressure in specific areas of the body like the lower back, shoulder or neck. Concentrating pressure promotes natural pain relief by improving circulation and increasing blood supply. Most acupressure pads consist of hard discs, stubs or other variations of pointed objects that push against muscle tissue with painful force. SKWOOSH™ believes in pressure NOT pain. SKWOOSH™ uses a gel pad to concentrate pressure in the painful area. The moveable gel pad can be positioned and secured precisely where the pressure is needed with Velcro(R) strips. Pressure can be intensified by folding the base pad which doubles the height of the base and increases the applied pressure. Sitting directly on the SKWOOSH™ Acupressure Gel Pad can help reduce sciatic pain. Placing the pad directly behind the left or right SI joint (at hip level) when seated or driving helps keep the SI joint in place resulting in reduced lower back pain.

The SKWOOSH™ Acupressure Gel Pad delivers comfortable, concentrated pressure to the underlying muscle tissue without restricting circulation or applying painful point pressure to the skin surface.
