Wooden Pillow Benefits & Exercises
The Wooden Pillow is a self-massage tool to help you get fast relief from pain and tension along your spine, especially in your neck and shoulders.
The neck, shoulders, and the back of the head are the first areas to tense up when you’re under stress. By using the Wooden Pillow in that area, you can effectively target your body’s energy points and meridians (energy channels) to relieve any stress, pain, and tension that you hold there.
The Wooden Pillow is primarily used under your neck while gently rocking your head side to side. You’ll feel your muscles relaxing and vertebrae coming back into proper alignment as you comfortably exhale your tension away.

Perfect way to wind
down and improve sleep
Too much stress on your mind can lead to nights spent tossing and turning. The Wooden Pillow is an effective tool to release stress and improve sleep. With regular use, it can reverse chronic insomnia and help increase the time spent in deep, restorative sleep.
Improve energy flow
and circulation
The Wooden Pillow uses the same energy principles as acupuncture and acupressure, which have been used to heal the body for thousands of years. According to these practices, pain and illness result from blockages in the body’s energy system. The Wooden Pillow helps release these blockages and stimulate energy flow throughout your body.
A handy foot massager
for rejuvenation
The Wooden Pillow can also be used to deeply stimulate and massage the foot as you step on it in different positions. Using reflexology, the feet are connected to all of your organs and body parts, so using the pillow for a foot massage will deeply ease tension beyond the spine. The Wooden Pillow is strong enough to support any person's full weight.
Experience deep core relaxation
Many people have poor digestion and abdominal health because of the tension held in their abdomen. The Wooden Pillow can be used as a core relaxation tool to release tension from deep within the abdomen, which improves blood circulation and lymph detoxification. Since the abdomen also contains the key energy center of the body, you will also find that this increases your sense of vitality and balances your mood.
Durable & Portable Handcrafted from Premium Cedar Wood
The Wooden Pillow is made of cedar wood, known for its strength, durability, and resistance to warping. It withstands decades of use and is small and light enough to take anywhere, even in a suitcase.
Size: 117/8" long, 57/16" wide, 25/8" high
How to Use the Wooden Pillow
To relieve your stiff neck and tension headaches:
- Place the Wooden Pillow flat on the floor. For more comfort, you can place a towel over it or use the Wooden Pillow Cover.
- Lie down, place the Wooden Pillow under your neck and very gently rock your head side to side.
- Open your mouth slightly as you breathe out. Focus on relaxing the muscles in your neck.
- As you become more comfortable and you feel your muscles begin to relax, move the pillow higher on your head, above the hairline behind your neck.
- Begin with practicing this a few minutes a day, and then increase the time up to 20 minutes as you become comfortable.
To experience deep core relaxation:
- Lower Abdomen: Lie on your stomach and place the Wooden Pillow below your belly button, above your hip bones. Breathe in, and as you breathe out, gently press in the Wooden Pillow with your abdominal muscles to release tension. Push your abdominal muscles in and out as you apply gentle pressure.
- Upper/Mid-Abdomen: Stimulate the middle abdomen by following the horizontal line along the belly button. For the upper abdomen, put the Wooden Pillow right below the ribs and push in and out with the breath to release tension and stagnant energy.
- Deeper Abdomen: Lie down on your stomach, and place the Wooden Pillow right above the hip joints. Stimulate your lower and upper abdomen by rocking your pelvis side to side. Push out with your abdominal muscles as you breathe in, and relax as your breathe out, letting the Wooden Pillow stimulate the deep blockages held in your abdomen.
To massage your feet:
- Step on the pillow to stimulate the energy points on your feet. You can do this while sitting in a chair, or standing by somewhere that you can hold on to for balance and support.
- For deeper stimulation, press one foot into the corner of the pillow.
Included with your pillow, the Wooden Pillow Experience course gives you 27 guided videos on how to use the Wooden Pillow for head-to-toe healing with acupressure specialist Donna Lovong as your talented and compassionate instructor.
