Abstract
A pad on which a user lies to apply pressure to selected points on the body consists of two fabric panels and a number of balls having fabric engaging tabs at diametrically opposed points. The balls are placed on one of the panels at the points of desired pressure application and then covered by the second panel. The two panels may be connected together and carry grid markings to assist in positioning of the balls.
