What does it feel like?
It feels like thousands of spikes slowly applying pressure to your skin and muscles. Like most, initially this experience can be uncomfortable and prickly. This will only last a couple of minutes before a tingly sensation begins to occur, similar to deep heat, as the area warms. The uncomfortable feeling slowly diminishes as muscles start to feel relaxed and tension eases. Eventually this will lead to feelings of euphoria, as you enter a state of deep relaxation you’ll notice yourself beginning to nod off to sleep.
