Full Size Bed of Nails Therapy Board (1P)

I have a knot behind each shoulder blade so I have to lift my arms up to expose it to begin with.This set of pegs dig in ON the knot as well as ALL AROUND the knot – on all contributing or sympathetic muscles that are helping it knot and contract. Literally nothing else on the market I’ve come across does this. It had me sliding under my skin. Very weird sensation with my muscles and fascia gaining slipperiness and lubrication so that one layer can slide across another layer well.It was both excruciating and super comfortable at the same time. On one hand I get the excruciating pain of pressure on the knot and around it. Triggerpoint type pain. Shooting up my arms to my fingers – like crazy pain. But on the other hand I’m breathing deeply (and doing a lot of it with either full or empty lungs, depending on which gives the best penetration with a given position) into spaces my breath never reaches so they’re relaxing and expanding and that aspect is comfortable as heck. Relieving, actually – it feels like relief.So it’s both relieving me and hurting me acutely at the same time! Never had anything do this so well. So I decided, after slipping around these knots and getting massive relaxation (still not complete but way better than the day before – very promising progress with lots referred pain), to try it as a foam roller and rest my IT band on it.The only way I can explain the effect is massive release. My deeper muscles slid within a sheath of more surface muscles and spontaneously I had a sudden need to massively flex my quads. So I’m following my feeling and massively flexing the quads while putting pressure on them and letting these pins simultaneously relax them. Felt like I was sliding in a tube. Just massive relaxation. In 1 minute I got what I MIGHT get from a foam roller in 60 mins if I worked super intelligently.When this pins down fascia and muscles, they’re not just pinned in one place like a foam roller. They’re pinned there AND everywhere surrounding. It promotes a global, connected, release. It’s fascinating stuff…..Ended up putting my hip on it and it was sooooooo painful! After about 2 minutes it all felt like jelly and I have new ranges of motion in my hips even today. Sat on it to get my glutes and hamstrings – got a massive release there too!I’m still going to do shoulders, tricpeps, and continue with my back, IT, quads, hips release. I’ve gotten some great tools over the years and swear by the effectiveness of many of them. But for the areas this can treat it does so amazingly and better than any other single tool. It’s like a foam roller on crazy steroids. Relaxes and releases whole masses of stuck musculature and fascia simultaneously. Hurts so bad it’s good.If you have any nagging, stubborn, or chronic muscular or fascial pain this is very, very, very worth your time to try IF you're the kind of person who can withstand acute pain to get general relief.

The bed of nails is a great product. It is like having a personal acupressure masseuse but at 30 different spots at once. As a highly active individual (I do martial arts, rock climbing, etc), recovery is essential for me so that I can keep doing what I love. At the end of the day, I use this board to work out all of the muscle and nerve kinks and restore my body back to balance. I wake up limber, happy and ready to hit the gym or the outdoors the next day.It is light weight, durable, and fits right in a little cubby in my closet.

I'm a climber and my back and shoulders can get really tight. I've tried a lot of methods for loosening up these areas and nothing comes close to working like this board. I lie on it at night before bed and after 5-10 minutes the muscles around my scapula just go soft and relax. I've also noticed I feel stronger since I started using this. I guess tight muscles aren't very useful because that can't pull if they are already tight. So when the muscles are loose to start, they can actually do the job of pulling me up the rock. Solid product, highly recommend.

I was in a motorcycle accident and basically sustained a "full body sprain" as I call it. Everything got pulled and torqued and muscles in my back ended up seizing and adhering. The Bed of Nails has really helped loosen all that up. I think the fact that I can lay on it passively so that I can give my body time to relax allows the board to put pressure on the right spot at the right time. I can feel my muscles giving way and the tight spots dissolving. It's great!

At first, I thought this looked like a torture device, but I am so glad I tried it out and stuck with it. After a few fifteen minute sessions of lying on it and getting the position correct for my body, the tension in my back melted away. After months of use, I quickly slip into a zen space because my muscles automatically release their tension. I highly recommend the bed of nails for anyone who has a desk job or tension in their back/shoulders.
