The Acupress Back & Belly Band is the targeted tool that moves with you. It’s an ergonomic belt with acupressure spikes that relieve lower back and abdominal tension. Wear it while sitting, driving, and moving through your day.
Each spike applies pressure to the skin to release tension, boost circulation, and relieve aches and pains. The 2-stage tensioning system lets you adjust the intensity, and the low-profile silhouette hugs your natural contours without scratching them.
- Relieve aches
- Relax cramps
- Recover on the move
Made with 2,196 level 1 spikes (size M). Ideal for anyone sick of a sore back or stomach cramps.
110 cm Width | 20.5 cm Height
0.57 kg Weight
Not suitable for lifting.
Imagine wearing a deep-tissue massage. Thousands of spikes press into sore muscles and release tension. 2-stage tensioning lets you independently adjust each side.
Precision-engineered spikes, responsive nylon-elastane, soft PU foam and reliable self-fastening closures. Designed, tested, and handmade in India by the experts in acupressure.
We get it, buying a belt that presses thousands of spikes into your back is tricky when you can’t try it first. If Shakti isn’t right for you, you can return or exchange yours within 60 days. That being said, only 1 in every 271 customers returns their Shakti Mat, and that’s a mat covered in spikes.
We’re not relaxed until you are. Everything we make is guaranteed from day one, and we’ll fix or replace anything faulty on arrival.
Shakti Shala was created to kickstart your Shakti Mat practice. But with your new Back & Belly Band, you can discover the secrets to getting past the initial shock and get even more from the guided meditations in the app. Free with purchase.
RELIEF THAT DOESN’T REQUIRE LYING STILL
The discreet low-profile design can be worn seated, standing, commuting – even driving – without anyone knowing you feel like a million quid. No more lying down to Shakti. No undressing completely, either.
2-STAGE TENSIONING = TARGETED RELIEF
One set of straps secures the Band against your skin and directs each spike toward tension. Another set tightens the pressure to release it. Removing the spikes offers lumbar and postpartum support. With straps on either side, you can independently adjust them.
HUG WHERE IT HURTS
Target bloating, cramps, and tension in your lower back. Wearable acupressure is a spikey hug that goes from weird to wonderful in a matter of minutes.
What you need to know
-
• Getting through the day without worrying about your back
• Release cramps and recover from bloating
• Support when (and where) you need it
• Relief that moves with you
• Increased circulation
• Fewer aches and pains -
Your Back & Belly Band is the easiest way to melt tension in your achiest areas. Wear it for extended periods at work or home without having to stop, undress – or peel yourself off the floor.
1. Choose where you’d like your spikes to work their magic
2. Attach the wide inner straps so the Band sits comfortably around your waist
3. Tighten the outer straps to ramp up the pressure and adjust as necessaryPro tips
• Skin to spike contact is best. If you’re having trouble with the initial sensation, loosen the straps or wear a light T-shirt.
• Experiment with deep breaths to increase pressure without refastening the straps.
• Remove the acupressure pad for support without spikes. Great around the house – not suitable for lifting weights. -
In the beginning it feels like a few thousand spikes pressing against your back or belly. After a few minutes, any discomfort fades and a deep warmth penetrates achy tissue.
Having the support and adjustability of a 2-stage tensioning system lets you ‘get to the point’ of relaxation – or ease off for a therapeutic touch. This can feel uncomfortable in the beginning, but the payoff is worth it.
By easing off – or forgoing spikes entirely – you can expect a much more supportive experience. Whether you wear the Band around your back or belly, you can independently adjust the strap to your preference.

No. We don't recommend the use of acupressure tools during pregnancy. If you are pregnant or are planning to become pregnant, consult your physician before use.

The Back & Belly Band is made in a similar fashion to pregnancy bands and girdles. By removing the acupressure pad, you can create the support your spine and stomach need with the option of incorporating acupressure.
Ideal for the changing needs of every body.
-
Acupress Back & Belly Bands have level 1 spikes. Why? Because wrapping spikes is different to lying on them. You can adjust the intensity with compression as opposed to relying on gravity alone. Perfect whether you want to increase the intensity of each spike, or relax with a softer sensation.
-
For a perfect fit, measure your waist at its widest point around your belly button while standing relaxed.
Use a soft measuring tape (or a string and ruler combo if you don’t have one). Match your measurement to the size chart to get the best support and results.
Small: 65-79 cm
Medium: 80-99 cm
Large: 100-120 cmCan I use my trouser size?
Trouser sizes don’t reflect your true waist circumference, especially around the belly where this band is designed to sit. The Back & Belly Band is sized by actual body measurements to ensure it hugs your back and belly comfortably and effectively – so grab a tape measure and get the real numbers.What if I’m between 2 sizes?
If you fall right on the cusp, both will be okay. There is some overlap between sizes, but it's safer to size down. -
Where acupuncture uses needles to pierce the skin, acupressure uses spikes to press against it. The key difference with the Back & Belly Band is that you can stimulate multiple acupoints in as many seconds as it takes to wrap yourself up, and you can adjust the intensity to your level of pressure.

- JoVerified Reviewer1 week agoRated 5 out of 5 starsEasy to shakti everywhere
I love how this is like a portable shakti mat. I’ve been using mine around the house and sitting doing admin so I get the benefits of shakti without having to take time out to lie down. I think I’ll use this so much.
- RyanVerified Reviewer1 week agoRated 5 out of 5 starsPractical, Portable, Powerful
It’s so usable — I can transport it easily and use it upright, which I wouldn’t be able to do with the mat. I’ve used it standing in the kitchen, sitting at my desk, and even while making dinner. It’s like a mobile Shakti mat. I love the adjustability — being able to increase or decrease the pressure without taking it off is a big plus. It feels like a back support, acupressure tool, and posture corrector all in one.
- HannahVerified Reviewer1 week agoRated 5 out of 5 starsLooks discreet, feels strong
I like how it’s as compact as possible and has a sleek design, so I can wear it under clothing at work without it looking bulky or obvious. It looks professional and high quality. The band feels heavy-duty but not in a way that gets in the way — it just feels strong and well-made. Honestly, it looks like a regular back brace, which is great. You’d never guess it’s doing so much therapeutic work.
- CelineVerified Reviewer1 week agoRated 5 out of 5 starsA new staple in my Shakti routine <3
There's just nothing bad to say about this! Every single Shakti product I try becomes a new staple in my acupressure routine. My core and back muscles hold so much tension throughout the day, so this band will be a godsend every evening!
- LauraVerified Reviewer2 weeks agoRated 5 out of 5 starsGreat for on the go tension release
I've mostly been testing my new back and belly band while I've been doing the housework. It's great because you get all the benefits of the mat, but without having to actually stop! I've also found it to be super helpful for targeting the tension in my lower back muscles, especially after deadlifting – it really does the trick! I'm still getting used to spiking my belly though! But I did feel like it offered me some relief from menstrual cramps. So I'd definitely use it again for that, I just think it takes some getting used to because the sensations are very different on your belly compared to your back. I love how discreet it is too; others can't really notice you wearing it under a baggy t-shirt!
SMShakti Mats1 week agoHi Laura, Thanks so much for sharing your experience! We love hearing how The Acupressure belly and back band is helping you stay active while finding relief, especially for that post-deadlift tension and menstrual cramps. It definitely takes a little getting used to on the belly, but you’re absolutely right—the benefits are worth it! 💛
