Acupressure mat with magnets: what it is, how it works, who it is for (Magnetic Mysa)
Acupressure mat with magnets: what the Magnetic Mysa is and who it is for
An acupressure mat with magnets combines two stimuli in one product: the spikes of acupressure and the static magnetic field of permanent biomagnets.
The Magnetic Mysa is the only mat of this kind on the market: it has the same 210 flowers of 33 pyramidal spikes as the Original Mysa (6,930 spikes on 75 × 45 cm) plus 16 permanent cylindrical biomagnets, non-electric, with negative polarity and medium therapeutic strength, arranged along the spine with a higher concentration in the lumbar and sacral area.
It is for people who use the mat mainly for the back, especially the lower back: in the 2026 Mysa survey of 312 customers, the Magnetic gave +18% of users whose low back pain had gone or was greatly reduced compared with the Original, and it is the model most used by professionals for the lumbosacral area. Not to be used with a pacemaker or electronic implants, or during pregnancy.
Two natural therapies together
The most you can do for your back: acupressure and magnet therapy together, to maximise the pain-relieving and muscle-relaxing effect. The Magnetic Mysa is the first and only eco-mat in the world to combine the benefits of acupressure with those of magnet therapy. Only those who invented and perfected the acupressure mat could do it: we have surpassed the unsurpassable. With Mysa, you feel good.

What the research says about static magnet therapy
The acupressure of the mat has clinical studies (what the research says). Static magnet therapy has been used for decades in Japan, Eastern Europe and China, including in clinical settings, and traditional Chinese medicine has used magnets for centuries.
Western systematic reviews (for example Pittler 2007, CMAJ), however, find no conclusive evidence that static magnets are effective for pain. That is why Mysa presents the biomagnets as an addition that many users perceive as beneficial, documented by its own annual survey: in the 2026 survey of 312 customers, +18% positive responses on low back pain compared with the Original.
Magnet therapy around the world
Magnet therapy is already widespread in Northern and Eastern Europe, Japan and China, where it is used in clinics and hospitals. The Magnetic Mysa was patented following the recommendations shared by various schools worldwide on applying permanent negative-polarity biomagnets to the back: static-field magnet therapy attributes soothing and rebalancing effects to this polarity, stimulating cellular oxygenation and the lymphatic system. Bringing together the principles of the various magnet-therapy disciplines, it simultaneously stimulates the painful area, Knap points 31, 35 and 43 and the Yang meridian Vg 14.
Who the Magnetic is for, and who the Original is for
Magnetic Mysa
- People who use the mat mainly for low back pain, lumbosacral pain and back contractures
- People who want the model chosen by professionals for the lumbar area
- For tall people or to treat legs and neck in the same session: Magnetic Mysa XXL; with the magnet pillow: ThermoMag Duo
Original Mysa
- People who use it for relaxation, sleep, the neck and general use
- People with a nickel allergy (the magnets contain traces)
- People with a pacemaker or electronic implants
How to use it
Like the Original: lying on your bare back, 20 to 50 minutes, preferably in the evening, with nothing electrical. For low back pain, knees bent or Hot ErgonoPad inserted under the lumbar curve.
The magnets simply work by contact; they are not removed or washed: the cover slides off and is hand-washed, the padding with the magnets is aired. Full guide to use.
Specific contraindications
Pacemaker, implanted defibrillator, insulin pump and other implanted electronic devices; pregnancy; keep away from magnetic cards and sensitive devices. Otherwise the contraindications of the mat apply.

They add a static negative-polarity magnetic field in the lumbar and sacral area; Mysa users report it as an additional benefit for low back pain (+18% in the 2026 survey).
Are the magnets electric?
No, they are permanent magnets: no current, no battery.
Magnetic or Original?
Magnetic for the lower back; Original for everything else, for people with a pacemaker or a nickel allergy.
