Acupressure mat ?

Any one got one.
This question is for my sister who is thinking of buying one. She suffers badly from sciatica and thought this might help.

I find that taking Nurofen for my sciatica followed by a brisk walk eases the nerve. It was 2 years before I found out why the other nerves in the leg - with very long names
- were very painful in the night it's because I spend hours each year bending over cabinets full of jewellery and small items at Antique Fairs
If your sister invests, let us know how she gets on

She has decided to go to a physiotherapist who also does acupuncture. She thought it was her hip but after her X-ray she has discovered there is nothing wrong with that but she has a slight degeneration of the pelvis which can cause sciatica.
She is going to ask the physio about the mat......I bet she is told it's a waste of money
